After Mu Anan told him about the second matter, Dr. Gu fell silent.

He looked like a good-for-nothing, but he was actually very meticulous.

In Mu Anan’s heart, she defined Dr. Gu Shuqing as a sweeping monk.

He was a classic example of a person who hid his strength.

While Dr. Gu was silent, Mu Anan said, “1 attended a masked ball at Phecda’s private club and heard something.”

As soon as she said that, Mu Anan could feel that Dr. Gu’s breathing had become heavier on the other end of the phone.

But it was only for a few seconds.

Dr. Gu moved his phone away a little.

He did not speak, so Mu Anan could not hear too many sounds.

Mu Anan continued, “I’m telling you this because I want to inform you that I might find out about what happened ten years ago one day because it’s related to Seventh Master’s trauma. I know it’s immoral to dig up one’s past, but I can’t control the future. Sometimes, I’ll touch on that story.”

“At that time, you will definitely be involved. 1 also know that that matter will hurt you a lot.”

Mu Anan had already said a lot.

She spoke slowly and expressed her thoughts clearly.

Mu Anan said, “That’s why I’m telling you in advance. I hope you’ll be mentally prepared. But I promise that if I ever find out about the matter, I’ll handle it properly. 1’11 make sure that you and Seventh Master won’t be offended.”

Mu Anan had already expressed her thoughts and was waiting for Dr. Gu’s response.

Mu Anan waited for about two minutes. Suddenly, Dr. Gu’s soft laughter came from the other end of the phone.

Mu Anan was a little puzzled.

Dr. Gu said, “Miss Anan, have I said a word?”

“What?”

“You look quiet and impatient, but deep down, you’re gentle and sensible,” Dr. Gu said.

When Mu Anan heard this, she frowned slightly.

She didn’t particularly like such comments.

Dr. Gu chuckled again. “You didn’t have to tell me about this, nor did you have to remind me, let alone use the word ‘hurt’.”

For Dr. Gu, the word ‘hurt’ was the gentlest part of Mu Anan.

“Miss Anan, thank you.”

Mu Anan did not like Dr. Gu’s abrupt way of speaking. She said stubbornly, “I’m just informing you. Don’t overthink it. It’s very late. I’m going to sleep.”

Mu Anan hung up without waiting for Dr. Gu’s response.

She put out her cigarette passingly.

Mu Anan was about to throw her phone aside when it vibrated a few times.

It was a message from WeChat.

Seventh Master: “Good girl.”

Although it was just a simple reply, Mu Anan’s heart couldn’t help but soften.

She slumped on the sofa and sent a cute emoji to Seventh Master.

Mu Anan: “I’m going to sleep.”

Seventh Master: “Good night.”

After sending the message to Seventh Master, Mu Anan noticed that Xiao Jiu’s message came at the same time as Zong Zhengyu’s message.

However, Mu Anan had only noticed Seventh Master’s message and had completely forgotten about her.

Wordly Riches: “Let’s meet at the cafe tomorrow afternoon?”

Wordly Riches: “Girl, are you going to ignore me?”

Wordly Riches: “Girl, you heartless person.”

Mu Anan couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw Xiao Jiu’s third message.

Mu Anan quickly replied.

Xiao Jiu was a lively and cheerful girl, especially when she was online. She would make all kinds of jokes.

Mu Anan chatted with her happily.

The next day.

Mu Anan’s biological clock woke her up at six o’clock.

The moment she opened her eyes, she subconsciously looked at the sofa.

Zong Zhengyu had been lying on the sofa for the past two days. Mu Anan felt a little disappointed when she saw the empty sofa today.

She lifted the blanket and went to wash up.

When she walked out, she saw a man sitting on the sofa.

The man was still wearing yesterday’s suit, the collar creased. His face was slightly tired.

It was obvious that he had not slept all night.

But even so, the man seemed to be born with nothing to do with the word ‘disheveled’.

He looked a little tired, but as he leaned back on the couch, he exuded an artistic sense of otherworldly decadence.

Mu Anan rubbed her eyes. She thought she was still not awake.

After all, there was no one on the couch when she’d just opened her eyes.

He suddenly appeared.

Did he teleport?

“Change your clothes and go downstairs for dinner.” The man on the sofa said slightly, then got up and walked towards Mu Anan.

Mu Anan rubbed her eyes again. “Seventh Master?”

The man had walked up to Mu Anan.

Mu Anan tiptoed and reached out to pinch Zong Zhengyu’s face.

The cold touch made Mu Anan sure that it was real.

Mu Anan quickly retracted her hand when she saw that he had lowered his eyes. “I’ll go change now.”

After saying that, Mu Anan quickly slipped away.

As a result, she had just taken two steps when she was pulled back by Zong Zhengyu.

He mercilessly pressed Mu Anan’s head and rubbed it. “Girl, you’ve been bold recently.”

She dared to pinch him.

How amazing.

Mu Anan felt a little wronged as she was being held down. She ran up and jumped up, hitting Seventh Master’s chin with her forehead.

She bumped him and ran!

She ran to the cloakroom and muttered, “Seventh Master fattens my guts!”

With that, she quickly closed the cloakroom door.

Zong Zhengyu stood still, listening to Mu Anan’s voice, and suddenly laughed softly.

“Little girl.”

After Mu Anan changed her clothes and came out, Zong Zhengyu brought her downstairs for breakfast.

Mu Anan said, “Seventh Master, I’m going out in the afternoon.”

Zong Zhengyu looked up at Mu Anan.

“I’m just meeting a friend,” Mu Anan explained.

“The one who gave you the masked ball?”

Mu Anan chuckled. “I feel like we’re getting along quite well. I’m going back tomorrow, so I just want to chat with her.”

As she spoke, Mu Anan moved closer to Zong Zhengyu nervously. “Seventh Master, may I?”

Mu Anan was nervous.

She had already thought of how she would act pitiful to get Seventh Master to agree.

However…

“Sure,” Zong Zhengyu said directly.

His answer was so fast that Mu Anan did not react momentarily.

How was he so easy to talk to?

“Before that, watch the news with me.”

Mu Anan was confused.

Seventh Master did not intend to continue.

It wasn’t until breakfast was over and Mu Anan was sitting on the sofa with Seventh Master, watching today’s trending news in Liuli City, that she finally reacted.

Today’s hot news: The Tang family’s hotel has a series of hygiene problems. The inner workings of the business that started out as a hotel cause deeper scrutiny.

The media was awash with reports of various problems with the Tang Group’s hotels.

Crowds of marchers have emerged below the headquarters of the Tang Group.

When Mu Anan saw these messages, she subconsciously looked at Zong Zhengyu.

His expression was unmoved. He leaned back on the sofa, his posture a little lazy, as if he was admiring his masterpiece..
