Feeling the man’s aura pressurizing her, Mu Anan immediately expressed her innocence, “I’m not speaking up for him. I’m speaking up for myself!”
As she spoke, Mu Anan immediately threw herself into Zong Zhengyu’s arms and hugged Seventh Master’s arm.
“Brother Yu, I know I was wrong.”
Mu Anan realized that she could not say anything more to Seventh Master at that time.
The more she said, the more wrong she became.
The more she said, the more she couldn’t explain about her relationship with Huo Xian.
The more she said, the more she was rebuked.
Mu Anan could not handle Master Qi’s rebuttals, and he had a strong aura.
“I was really wrong. I promise I won’t have any more intimate contact with Huo Xian in the future. I promise to protect myself!”
Mu Anan didn’t have any excuses and just obediently admitted her mistake.
She was reflecting on her mistake.
It was that attitude that eased Zong Zhengyu’s expression.
Although it wasn’t very good still, it was much better than before.
Mu Anan rubbed against Zong Zhengyu’s arm and quickly changed the topic, “Brother Yu, why did you suddenly come back? Is it because I’m unhappy?”
Mu Anan was pleasantly surprised when she saw Seventh Master.
But he came back just like that despite the old master in Liuli City still feeling unwell and the tons of things he had to do.
Although Zong Zhengyu’s expression was normal, Mu Anan was meticulous and could still see his fatigue.
Her heart ached.
But she felt warm.
It was just a phone call in which she only spoke to him in a wronged tone, and he returned to her side.
He loved her so much. How could he have anything to do with her mother’s and grandfather’s deaths?
Mu Anan felt ashamed for doubting Zong Zhengyu.
Mu Anan looked up. Her eyes were wet, and the corners of her eyes were especially red.
Zong Zhengyu reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, “Did you suffer?”
Mu Anan shook her head but then nodded.
Zong Zhengyu frowned.
Mu Anan said, “It’s just that Jiang Zhen seems to suspect I’m his daughter. He came over to test me and even asked me to get a package.”
“A package?”
Mu Anan nodded, “On my tenth birthday, my mother gave me a box of things. She said she would send it back to me in ten years and that 1 had to open it myself.”
Zong Zhengyu frowned slightly and didn’t reply.
Mu Anan continued, “Jiang Zhen probably wanted to test me, so he asked me for help. He asked me to bring my identity card over, saying that the storage company would only give him the package if they verified Mu Anan’s identity card.”
Zong Zhengyu listened to Mu Anan’s narration, and his brows furrowed even more.
He clearly sensed that something was wrong.
“You went?” Zong Zhengyu asked.
Mu Anan nodded, “I did, but when I reached Mingcheng Apartments, my legs were trembling, and I didn’t dare to go near it. So 1 made up an excuse of not bringing my identity card.”
Then, she added, “Actually, I’m just looking for an excuse.”
“I know he’s testing me, but I must take that package. It’s something my mother gave me.”
It might be related to what Mu Anan had overheard Jiang Zhen and Jiang Qin talking about in the hospital, which was the secret of the so-called research project.
The deaths of his mother and grandfather were also related to that.
“I’ll arrange for the package to be collected.” Zong Zhengyu said.
Mu Anan chuckled and looked longingly at the man before her, but she still had her concerns.
“The company my mother engaged to store this package has a very strong security system. Even if Jiang Zhen wants it, he can’t take it.”
“You can take this package as long as you’re the one.” Zong Zhengyu pinched Mu Anan’s ear and said, “Next time Jiang Zhen comes to find you, just ignore him.”
After saying that, Seventh Master felt that it was inappropriate and added, “I’ll arrange for someone to protect you at all times.”
“No need, I can protect myself!”
Mu Anan shook her head and sat up straight. She raised her small fist and showed off the small muscles on her arm, “I’m a boxer. I’ve inherited the teachings of my Black Tea Master. I guarantee that he won’t be able to hurt me.”
After saying that, Mu Anan patted her arm hard.
Zong Zhengyu didn’t say anything but was amused by her.
He pinched Mu Anan’s ear and played with it.
The car arrived at Yuyuan Estate.
After the servant opened the car door respectfully, Mu Anan naturally got out of the car.
However, when she reached the villa’s entrance, she realized that Zong Zhengyu had not gotten out of the car.
Mu Anan was confused. Seeing that Zong Zhengyu had no intention of getting out of the car, she turned back.
“Seventh Master, aren’t you getting out of the car?”
Mu Anan had just finished speaking when the driver in front reported respectfully, “Seventh Master, the private jet has been repaired. Shall we go over now?”
Mu Anan immediately asked, “Seventh Master, are you returning to Liuli City?”
He had just returned.
Zong Zhengyu’s expression was calm as he sat in the carriage, “Girl, squat down.”
Mu Anan lowered herself obediently.
Zong Zhengyu reached out to caress her face, “1’11 be back in three days at the latest.”
“Jiang Zhen, Jiang Qin, Huo Xian.” Zong Zhengyu said the names of the three people and said under Mu Anan’s confusion, “Stay away from these three people, understand?”
Mu Anan nodded obediently.
The Seventh Master seemed very satisfied with Mu Anan’s obedience, stroking her face more gently.
“Go back to your room.”
After saying that, he withdrew his hand.
However, Mu Anan still maintained her posture and stared at Zong Zhengyu.
Her eyes, which were already slightly moist, slowly became wetter.
However, when her tears fell, she quickly stood up and said, “Then go ahead. I’ll wait for you at home.”
Her tone was light as she turned around and walked into the villa.
She did not turn back to look at Zong Zhengyu.
She didn’t dare to look back.
If she turned around, she would definitely collapse.
She was just thinking that he looked tired after going back and forth was all because he sensed that she was unhappy.
And after confirming that she was fine, he flew off again.
How could her Seventh Master be so good?
Mu Anan walked to the stairs without looking back.
She only turned around when she heard the sound of the car engine starting. She watched as the car drove toward the airport.
She could only catch a glimpse of Seventh Master sitting in the car through the open window.
Mu Anan stood there for a while before she sat down on the stairs.
The servant asked respectfully, “Miss Anan, Seventh Master has arranged for the kitchen to prepare supper for you. Do you want to eat it now?”
Mu Anan shook her head, “Go get Dr. Gu.”
Her voice was faint.
Naturally, the servant did not dare to disobey and immediately sent someone to inform Dr. Gu.
Mu Anan remained seated on the steps and did not do anything else.
When Dr. Gu arrived and saw Mu Anan’s actions, he was slightly surprised and asked, “Miss Anan?”
He looked around but did not see Zong Zhengyu.
Mu Anan did not look at Dr. Gu. Instead, she took out her phone from her pocket.
She lowered her head to unlock the phone, then operated it for a while before passing it to Dr. Gu.
Dr. Gu did not understand what Mu Anan was doing, “Miss Anan, this is…?”
“Xiao Jiu sent me two videos and photos just now.” Mu Anan said, “It’s a full-face photo of the person I bumped into at the cafe. You’ll know if it’s Zhong Ting after you take a look!”
