Chapter 220: Forget It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Anan didn’t answer immediately after Seventh Master asked her a question.
Instead, she subconsciously shrunk her neck and burrowed deeper into
Seventh Master’s arms, hugging him even tighter.
Seventh Master looked helpless.
Before coming to Liuli City, Zong Zhengyu had told Mu Anan that she had grown up and that there was a need to keep a distance between men and women.
It was all for nothing now.
The main thing was that with the child’s grievance, she would cry non-stop on the spot if Zong Zhengyu dared to put her down now.
Forget it.
“Seventh Master, I just want to hug you like this,” Mu Anan whispered.
Lying quietly in his arms, smelling the scent of Seventh Master, and feeling his body temperature could make Mu Anan feel at ease.
It gave Mu Anan courage.
Even if it was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, she could still walk on this road of love with determination.
“Go ahead.” Zong Zhengyu rubbed her head.
Mu Anan rubbed her face again.
For the rest of the journey, Mu Anan quietly leaned in Zong Zhengyu’s arms.
When they arrived at the hotel, Zong Zhengyu was ready to carry the child.
But as soon as the car stopped, Mu Anan immediately got up from Zong Zhengyu’s arms.
She met Zong Zhengyu’s eyes, revealing a very bright smile. Even her eyes turned into crescent moons.
Mu Anan said, “Seventh Master, I’ll go up by myself. Remember to ask the hotel to arrange dinner for me. I’m a little hungry.”
Zong Zhengyu frowned. “1’11 accompany you.”
“What’s there to accompany? I’ll eat by myself.” Mu Anan’s tone was light as she got down from Zong Zhengyu’s body. “Go and meet the old master.”
“I’m too tired from playing today. I’m going to sleep after dinner.”
Mu Anan got out of the car when the hotel staff pushed the door open.
She held the car door and smiled at Seventh Master. “Seventh Master, remember to talk to the old master properly. You don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine.”
Zong Zhengyu didn’t say anything. He sat in the car and looked at Mu Anan.
Mu Anan kept smiling at him, looking relaxed and happy.
It was as if the child who was crying pitifully on his lap just now was not her at all.
“Bye-bye.”
Mu Anan waved her hand and closed the car door for Seventh Master. She walked briskly into the hotel and took the elevator.
When Mu Anan entered the elevator, she could see that Seventh Master’s car was still outside the hotel.
The elevator door slowly closed, and her smile remained.
However, the smile on Mu Anan’s face slowly faded the moment the elevator doors closed completely.
Her shoulders slumped weakly.
She took two steps back, leaned against the elevator, and took a deep breath.
When Mu Anan returned to the hotel room, she looked at the balcony and made sure that Seventh Master’s car had left. She was finally relieved.
She was a little weak and fell onto the sofa.
She didn’t want to turn on the lights, so she just leaned against the sofa.
The entire room could only rely on the light shining in through the French windows, so the visibility was not high.
For Mu Anan, who was afraid of the dark, such an environment would make her feel uneasy.
But she was unwilling to turn on the lights.
She was originally leaning against the sofa, but her body slid down more and more until she was half-lying on it. It was as if her entire body had blended into the dark room.
This state continued until the hotel doorbell rang.
It was the dinner that the waiter brought over.
When Mu Anan stood up from the sofa, she turned on all the lights in the room.
Immediately, intense light shone on every inch of the room, dispelling all the darkness.
Mu Anan shook her head. When she went to open the door, she looked at the mirror beside her and smiled widely.
The smile on the carriage just now was for Zong Zhengyu.
This smile now was meant for herself.
She told herself that she was very strong.
She would cross the gap between her and Zong Zhengyu.
The dinner that the hotel had sent over was sumptuous, including Mu Anan’s favorite roasted turkey leg.
The whole turkey leg was golden and crispy, and the fragrance assailed her nostrils.
She took a bite. The turkey leg was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a little spiciness.
It suited Mu Anan’s taste very well.
After dinner, Mu Anan sent a photo to Zong Zhengyu.
The result of her battle with the foods.
She had finished the turkey legs and some other dishes.
Mu Anan said, “I’m so full.”
Zong Zhengyu did not reply to the message, and Mu Anan did not mind either. She reckoned that the conversation with the old master was not particularly pleasant.
Mu Anan put her phone aside and took a comfortable bath.
When she came out, Zong Zhengyu still did not reply.
Mu Anan did not send any more messages.
She sat on the sofa with her phone.
Mu Anan’s freshly washed hair was draped over her shoulders. She found a cigarette and a lighter on the coffee table. She lit one.
Immediately, the faint smell of cocoa spread in this inch.
Mu Anan gave Dr. Gu a call after smoking half a cigarette.
“Miss Anan.” Dr. Gu answered almost immediately.
Mu Anan whistled. “This is the first time I’ve called you, and you answered immediately.”
Mu Anan’s tone was somewhat teasing.
“I was just looking at the message.” Dr. Gu answered, “Miss Anan, what’s the matter?”
“There are two things.”
Mu Anan put out the cigarette and took out another one with one hand.
But this one was not ignited.
Mu Anan’s index and middle fingers pinched the thin white smoke. The girl’s fingers were long and slender, and her skin was fair.
At this moment, she was casually leaning on the armrest of the sofa.
Mu Anan said, “The first thing is that there is a team in Yuyuan Estate medical team that specializes in skin research. Choose a few people and send them to Liuli City.”
“Miss Anan, are you hurt?” After Dr. Gu heard this, he almost blurted out, “Or is it Seventh Master?”
“Neither.”
“That is…”
“Tang Mi.”
When Mu Anan said this name, Dr. Gu suddenly fell silent.
Mu Anan did not know whether Dr. Gu was surprised or silent, but she did not care.
She simply said, “I scratched her face, but 1 didn’t want to make it too ugly. You should know that the old master…”
Mu Anan didn’t finish her sentence.
Dr. Gu replied after a few seconds, “I understand.”
Although it was just a few simple words, both Mu Anan and Dr. Gu could understand the meaning.
He understood that she had cut Tang Mi’s face.
He also understood that she had asked him to arrange a medical team to save Tang Mi.
He even knew that…
In the car just now, Mu Anan kept persuading Zong Zhengyu to go to the old master, and let Tang Mi and the Tang family go.
“Miss Anan, the medical team will arrive in Liuli City tomorrow afternoon,” said Dr. Gu.
Mu Anan hummed. “There’s another thing.”
“Go ahead.”
Mu Anan did not say anything immediately. Instead, she put the cigarette in her hand into her mouth, grabbed the lighter, and lit it.
Although Dr. Gu was a little lacking at times, he was very patient most of the time.
Although Mu Anan had opened her mouth, she did not say anything. Dr. Gu had been waiting quietly.
After about two minutes, Mu Anan finally said, “The second thing is about you..”
