Young and Beautiful Wife: Sir, Be Patient-Chapter 36

About Chen Hua

Zong Zhengyu hadn’t left Mu Anan’s room for three days. There were already stubbles on his lips and chin.

But even so, he did not look disheveled. Instead, he looked more reserved and mature than usual.

His eyes were like abysses, filled with mystery and danger that no one could see through.

However, when he lowered his eyes and looked at his little princess, he became as gentle as the moon.

Mu Anan slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the familiar chandelier on the ceiling, she was still in a daze.

Until she heard a voice calling her softly, “Anan?”

Mu Anan turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw Zong Zhengyu’s stunning face.

When her eyes met Zong Zhengyu’s worried eyes, her nose and eyes started to burn.

Zong Zhengyu replied, “Kiddo, you are fine now. You are home.”

Mu Anan burst into tears at those words.

When she found out that she had been drugged, she did not cry or panic. Instead, she tried to escape.

When she was beaten by Chen Jiali, she gritted her teeth and endured the beating.

When she was dragged into the alley by gangsters, when they were about to tear her clothes, she tried her best to stay rational.

She didn’t even scream in panic, let alone shed a tear.

However, at this moment, she couldn’t control the emotions she had been suppressing. She wanted to be comforted and hugged by Seventh Master.

“It’s okay now. Don’t cry.”

He whispered words of comfort in her ear repeatedly. The stubbles on his face were prickly, but they gave Mu Anan a peace of mind that she had never felt before.

Mu Anan whined, “Seventh Master, I want a hug.”

“Okay, okay.”

Zong Zhengyu helped Mu Anan up carefully and hugged her gently, trying not to touch her wounds.

At this moment, Dr. Gu pushed open the door and entered. He was here to change Mu Anan’s dressing, but he was shocked by what he saw.

Zong Zhengyu didn’t even turn his head. He just waved his hand and Dr. Gu left immediately.

The moment he closed the door, Dr. Gu’s expression turned a little strange.

It wasn’t until Luo Sen came upstairs with some documents that Dr. Gu snapped out of his daze and said to Luo Sen, “Miss Anan has just woken up. Leave the documents in the study.”

Luo Sen nodded and did not enquire further.

Everyone in Yuyuan Estate knew that if Zong Zhengyu was with Mu Anan, even the most important thing in the world would have to be postponed.

Furthermore, this was the first time Mu Anan had suffered such serious injuries in the eight years she lived here. It was also the first time Seventh Master was upset!

“Luo Sen.”

When Luo Sen walked past Dr. Gu to go to the study, Dr. Gu suddenly called out.

Luo Sen turned around. His face was stiff but his eyes were asking Dr. Gu what was going on.

Dr. Gu called out to Luo Sen on impulse. Now that Luo Sen had turned around, he didn’t know how to say it. The two of them just looked at each other.

After some time, Luo Sen suddenly said, “Dr. Gu.”

“Yes, what?”

Before Dr. Gu could come back to his senses, Luo Sen had already turned and walked into the study with the documents.

Gu Shuqing was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He was immediately furious.

Dr. Gu was a romantic person. He couldn’t understand an emotionless working robot like Luo Sen.

Dr. Gu didn’t know if he was angry or unconvinced, but he simply followed Luo Sen into the study.

“I called you because I wanted to talk about Miss Anan.”

Luo Sen put down the documents and looked at Dr. Gu in silence.

Dr. Gu’s expression was serious as he said, “Do you think that Miss Anan will ever become the real mistress of Yuyuan Estate?”

“Miss Anan is the apple of Seventh Master’s eye,” Luo Sen replied stiffly without hesitation.

Dr. Gu frowned. “But I think she might be Seventh Master’s salvation. After that incident, Seventh Master…”

“Gu Shuqing,” Luo Sen called out the doctor’s name in full sternly to stop him. “Seventh Master had already told us that we can’t reveal anything about that matter. Are you really going to challenge Seventh Master’s bottom line?”

“I…”

“Everyone at Yuyuan Estate knows that Dr. Gu has cared for Miss Anan since she was young and because of that, you are very close to her. Please don’t forget who the protagonist in that incident is to you. I hope you remember the consequences if you tell Miss Anan.”

Luo Sen reminded Dr. Gu pointedly. After stacking the documents neatly on the table, he left the study.

Dr. Gu stood still.

He recalled how Mu Anan had gone to Zong Zhengyu’s room without hesitation when he told her that Seventh Master needed to have sex with her.

Mu Anan did not even ask about the dangers of Seventh Master’s outburst, nor did she think about the consequences.

And after that, Mu Anan had confidently told him that she would become the mistress of Yuyuan Estate.

But then, Dr. Gu remembered Luo Sen’s reminder.

If Mu Anan found out about that, the consequences would be…

Dr. Gu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

…

In Mu Anan’s room…

After Zong Zhengyu’s patient comforting, Mu Anan had calmed down. Other than some physical pain in her body, she didn’t have any other discomfort.

After all, she had always been strong and had a high tolerance for pain.

A servant brought over a bowl of hot porridge. Mu Anan said she couldn’t eat anymore after Zong Zhengyu fed her half the porridge.

She stared at Zong Zhengyu, wanting to say something but couldn’t.

Since Mu Anan woke up, she hadn’t asked about Chen Jiali and the others.

She couldn’t care less.

Because she knew very well that Zong Zhengyu would never let her suffer like this for nothing. She also didn’t want to bother with it now.

But there was one person that Mu Anan cared about.

Zong Zhengyu set the bowl aside and pushed Mu Anan’s hair away from her face.

Her face had become much thinner with these injuries.

“I’ll fatten you up again in two days. Don’t become one of those people who keep losing weight because they want to maintain their figure.” Zong Zhengyu said sternly.

Mu Anan shook her head.

After much hesitation, she finally asked the question she wanted to ask. “Seventh Master, how is Chen Hua?”

Zong Zhengyu didn’t answer immediately.

There was no surprise or other expression on his face.

He never showed his emotions on his face.

The people of Jianglan City all feared Zong Zhengyu because he was ruthless and cold.

But the most important reason was that they would never see through what the high and mighty Seventh Master was thinking.

He could kill people while laughing and joking.

He could also be kind while expressionless.

Zong Zhengyu could control the entire Jianglan City. No one knew which finger he moved would turn which places into ashes.

Even though Mu Anan had been by his side for many years, she still didn’t have an accurate read on him.

Mu Anan saw that Zong Zhengyu did not answer, so she asked, “Seventh Master, you didn’t touch Chen Hua, right?”

Zong Zhengyu looked up and slowly said, “Why?”

Mu Anan was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that Zong Zhengyu was asking her for the reason for leaving Chen Hua alone.

Before she went into a coma, she told Zong Zhengyu that it wasn’t her and Zong Zhengyu listened.
