Chapter 269: Have You Thought of an Explanation?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Anan and Zong Zhengyu’s video call was on speaker.
Therefore, when Zong Zhengyu said ‘really,’ all the technicians present, including Dr. Gu, heard it.
Although those people were Dr. Gu’s men and not directly related to the Yuyuan Estate, they were very clear about the methods of that man in the Yuyuan Estate.
Therefore, at that moment, everyone was tense. They only needed the little princess to be able to subdue that master.
At that moment, the little princess felt very guilty too.
However, although she was guilty, Mu Anan forced herself to suppress it. She looked very calm, “That’s right. Don’t you want me to reconcile with Chen Hua?”
“Mu Anan.”
“Huh?”
“Behind you is a French window.” Zong Zhengyu’s voice was calm, and his tone was gentle, “It can reflect.”
Those three words almost caused the people in the room to go crazy.
Mu Anan’s head went numb, and her neck stiffened. She slowly turned around and could clearly see the scene in front of her through the French window.
Although it was not very clear, one could tell from the outline of the computers and…men!
Mu Anan’s heart raced.
On the screen, Zong Zhengyu slowly leaned back in his seat, his hand on the chair, his index finger rubbing the space between his eyebrows, “Have you thought of an explanation?”
Mu Anan secretly swallowed her saliva and smiled awkwardly, “Since Seventh Master has already found out, I can’t hide it.”
Zong Zhengyu raised his eyebrows but did not look at Mu Anan.
He lowered his eyes and rubbed his temples.
That was Zong Zhengyu’s habit.
He had a chronic headache, and his head would ache faintly when it didn’t act up.
Zong Zhengyu didn’t say anything. Mu Anan didn’t say anything either. The technicians in the room didn’t dare to make a sound.
That caused the atmosphere in the room to become even more silent and strange.
Dr. Gu stared at Mu Anan.
Was Mu Anan going to confess?
She didn’t seem like someone who would confess so easily.
But at that moment, Mu Anan secretly took a deep breath and made an expression that seemed she was going all out to confess!
Mu Anan said, “I, actually…invited many people to play games.”
Zong Zhengyu’s rubbing action paused momentarily as soon as she said that.
He put down his hand and stared at Mu Anan in the video.
Mu Anan said, “I was in a bad mood when you were not around, and I quarreled with Chen Hua. So 1 called Chen Hua and everyone who knew how to play games in the hospital and prepared to play games at the hotel.”
“I admit that I was planning to stay up all night.”
After she finished speaking, Mu Anan stole a glance at Zong Zhengyu and immediately looked away as if she had done something guilty.
“What else?” Zong Zhengyu asked.
After a while, Mu Anan said, “I also called Huo Xian over.”
Zong Zhengyu didn’t say anything.
Mu Anan looked at Zong Zhengyu pitifully, “Brother Yu, I knew you would be unhappy, so I didn’t want to tell you, but in the end…you still found out.”
Zong Zhengyu remained silent.
Mu Anan started to look more aggrieved, “Brother Yu, I won’t play till late. I’ll be back before ten, OK?”
“Please, Brother Yu.”
The girl acted coquettishly as usual.
Even though they were separated by the screen, the innocent and aggrieved look in her almond-shaped eyes still struck Zong Zhengyu’s heart.
He clearly knew that that girl was cunning. She was a little fox and very naughty.
But he still couldn’t help but indulge her.
“At the latest, ten o’clock.”
Mu Anan was delighted and smiled brightly, “Thank you, Brother Yu! I’ll give you a finger heart!”
Mu Anan really gave Zong Zhengyu a finger heart.
However, Seventh Master didn’t accept it.
He looked at her as if she was a naughty child.
When all the technicians in the room heard the conversation between Seventh Master and the little princess, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief but were also very shocked.
After all, no one knew that Seventh Master Zong, whose aura could crush people to death, would actually indulge the little princess like that.
And he did not doubt the little princess’s words.
The little princess acted pitifully and coquettishly, and everything was fine.
“I called to tell you something.” Zong Zhengyu spoke.
Mu Anan subconsciously sat up straight, her slender legs obediently closed together. She stared at the phone screen seriously, waiting for Zong Zhengyu’s words.
“I need to delay my return for another three days.” Zong Zhengyu said.
When Mu Anan heard that, she subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, things were very troublesome here, and she did not want Seventh Master to know about it when he returned. Delaying for three days would be just right for Mu Anan.
After all, everything would be over by the time Seventh Master returned.
However, Mu Anan did not dare to reveal her thoughts to Seventh Master.
She looked disappointed, “Oh, three more days…”
“Girl.”
“Yes, I’m here.” Mu Anan looked listless.
Zong Zhengyu’s voice softened, “I’ll bring you a gift to compensate you.”
“Or do you have any wishes, hmm?”
“Shall I accompany you on another short trip?”
Zong Zhengyu was obviously coaxing a child.
He wanted to make it up to his girl because he didn’t fulfill his promise to return.
Mu Anan suddenly tilted her head and smiled at the phone, “1 have a wish.”
“Speak.”
“I want to play games all night tonight.”
“Impossible.”
Mu Anan pouted unhappily, “Liar, you promised me anything. Liar.”
“Kid.”
“Alright, alright. I know, I’ll be back by ten. I’m not unhappy. You can focus on your matters. I’ll wait for your return.”
Mu Anan said sensibly.
If that were in the past, Mu Anan would definitely act coquettishly.
But now it was obvious that she was hiding something from Zong Zhengyu, so she felt very guilty and was unwilling to muddle along.
Mu Anan stared at Zong Zhengyu on the phone screen.
He was wearing an ordinary white shirt. However, Mu Anan noticed a red spot on the shoulder area of his white shirt. She did not know what it was.
Mu Anan leaned closer to look, “Brother Yu, what happened to your shoulder?”
“Is it red paint?”
The video quality was limited, and Mu Anan could only see a red mark on his shoulder.
Zong Zhengyu glanced at it and said calmly, “Red ink.”
“Ink?”
“Yes, I accidentally stained it.”
Mu Anan stared at that area, wondering how the red ink got on Zong Zhengyu’s shoulder.
Seventh Master was a clean freak, and it was rare for his clothes to get stained.
“Kid, go and play your games.” Zong Zhengyu spoke.
Mu Anan knew that he was going to get busy.
Since Mu Anan had something to hide from Zong Zhengyu, she felt pressured to video call him. She would feel guilty and afraid of being exposed.
So when Zong Zhengyu said that, Mu Anan nodded obediently, “Alright.”
Just as she finished speaking, Zong Zhengyu had already cut off the video call.
Mu Anan took a deep breath. Her originally straight back instantly leaned against the back of the chair, and her tense emotions relaxed.
Her back was sticky, and only then did she realize that she was covered in cold sweat.
At the same time.
Zong Zhengyu’s condition was not any better than Mu Anan’s!
