Chapter 131: What Was Going on?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chen Hua pondered for a moment, “Anan, when did you leave yesterday? Did you lock me in the room? Did I do anything out of the ordinary yesterday?”
Mu Anan knew that Chen Hua would ask about this. Seeing how nervous she was, she suddenly wanted to tease her.
She nodded with a serious expression and said, “I was indeed the one who locked you in the room. The main reason was that 1 didn’t lock you up. I was afraid that Huo Xian would be…”
“What?!”
Chen Hua’s eyes widened in horror as her heart raced, “What… What have 1 done to Huo Xian?”
“Chen Hua,” Mu Anan held back her laughter and placed her hands on the table, “You did show me a different side of you yesterday. It is said that the truth comes out after drinking. 1 reckon a beast is living inside you, and it’s exposed when you drink.”
“Anan, don’t tease me. I feel like I’m going to die.” Chen Hua was about to cry, “What did 1 do to Huo Xian yesterday?”
“You don’t have any memory?” Mu Anan asked.
“I drank too much and blacked out.”
“Then you can treat it as if nothing has happened. Huo Xian didn’t mention it when he came this afternoon anyway. Now that he’s gone, he probably forgot about it as well.”
“He didn’t forget, “Chen Hua stomped her feet anxiously, “I bumped into him when I came here just now. Then, he looked at me and smiled. His smile made me feel scared. He said that I surprised him.”
Thinking of Huo Xian’s look just now, Chen Hua felt like her heart was about to stop.
Mu Anan had wanted to tease Chen Hua, but seeing how anxious she was, she stopped teasing her.
“Nothing really happened. You just kissed him and then said flightily.”
“I kissed him?” Chen Hua covered her mouth.
Chen Hua’s face instantly turned red and quickly lowered her head. She didn’t even dare to look straight at Mu Anan, “Then what should I do…”
“What do you mean?”
“I… I don’t know how to face him afterwards. Why did 1 drink so much? How could I do such a thing?” Chen Hua was on the verge of collapse.
Mu Anan disagreed, “Don’t you like Huo Xian very much?”
Chen Hua raised her head and her face turned red, “But I can’t do this.”
“It already happened, didn’t it?” Mu Anan asked.
That night, when she went downstairs, Chen Hua was already… She had no chance to stop her.
If Mu Anan had been present, she would have stopped her.
But it had already happened, “Change your train of thought. You have more memories with the person you like.”
“I’m afraid that I’ll sink deeper and deeper.” Chen Hua muttered softly.
Mu Anan laughed.’But you’ve never thought of giving up on this love.'”
This sentence touched Chen Hua’s heart.
Mu Anan said, “When you didn’t interact with Huo Xian, you never thought of giving up. You just wanted to like him silently and complete your crush. Now that you’ve come into contact with him and you don’t want to give up. You just want to be able to look at him.”
Chen Hua pursed her lips and did not say anything.
Mu Anan said, “It is just my opinion. If I like someone, I will give my all. I won’t give up. 1 will only think about how to be with him.”
“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t like me today. I’ll work hard to make him like me tomorrow.”
“In this relationship, I have the initiative. I can decide for myself how long 1 want to like and how much I want to give. When I feel that it’s boring and he hasn’t liked me yet, it’s probably time for him to give up.”
Mu Anan shrugged. She didn’t like to impose her thoughts on others, so she was only expressing her thoughts objectively.
Chen Hua didn’t reply. She lowered her eyes, thinking about something.
At this moment, the office phone rang.
It was Dr. Chen. He needed to go over to check on a patient. Mu Anan informed Chen Hua and got involved in the work.
She remained busy until 7.30 pm.
Mu Anan got off work at 8:00 pm.
She was in a hurry to go back and see Seventh Master, so she packed her things and rushed out to leave as soon as it was time to get off work.
When she rushed out, she bumped into Huo Xian.
“Anan, where are you going? Dinner together?”
Huo Xian shouted from behind, but Mu Anan ignored him and rushed out.
She was very excited.
As long as she thought about meeting Seventh Master, her heart would beat wildly and she would be filled with excitement and anticipation.
If I was to see you, I would come running.
Luo Sen was already waiting outside the door. Mu Anan urged her after she got into the car, “Go back. Hurry up.”
Luo Sen was a little stunned. He thought that someone was chasing her from behind, but after scanning the area warily, he did not find anything wrong. Luo Sen then got into his car and drove off.
Mu Anan asked, “Has Seventh Master returned to the Yuyuan Estate?”
“No.”
Luo Sen’s answer dampened her excitement.
However, Mu Anan looked at the time and saw that it was only eight o’clock sharp,
“The plane hasn’t landed yet, right?”
The back mountain of Yuyuan Estate was Zong Zhengyu’s private airport. They would land from there. It would only take about ten minutes to get off the plane and return to Yuyuan Estate.
Mu Anan needed half an hour to go back.
“Miss Anan, Seventh Master…”
“Cut the crap. Just drive.” Mu Anan interrupted Luo Sen.
On the way back to the Yuyuan Estate, she kept her anticipation.
The car arrived at Yuyuan Estate.
Mu Anan did not wait for the servant to open the car door and got out of the car herself. When she stepped into the villa, her heart sank when she saw the empty and luxurious villa.
“Miss Anan, Seventh Master has instructed me to take you to bathe and change your clothes if you come back.” The butler said respectfully.
“Has Seventh Master returned?” Mu Anan did not understand. Then, she added, “Or is Seventh Master on his way?”
“Miss Anan, we haven’t received any news of Seventh Master’s return.”
Mu Anan frowned.
The butler continued, “We have only received the order to take Miss Anan to be bathed and dressed. There’s a cocktail party that Miss Anan needs to attend tonight.”
“Just me?”
“Yes, Miss Anan.”
Mu Anan was confused, “Seventh Master ordered it?”
Forget it.
She didn’t wait for the butler’s response and called Zong Zhengyu.
Unfortunately, the call could not be connected.
The butler reported, “Seventh Master said that this banquet is very important and requires Miss Anan’s attendance. There wasn’t much time left. Please take a bath and change your dresses so as not to delay the time.”
Mu Anan asked Luo Sen, who had just walked in, “Did Seventh Master say when he would be home?”
“No.” Luo Sen shook his head.
Mu Anan did not understand what Seventh Master meant.
She called Zong Zhengyu again, but she couldn’t get through.
“Nevermind. Let’s go to the cocktail party first.” Mu Anan said.
Since it was Seventh Master’s order, this cocktail party should have a special meaning. Mu Anan did not waste any time. She went upstairs to take a shower, change her clothes, and put on makeup.
Half an hour later, Mu Anan emerged from the room in great costume. Luo Sen and the servants were waiting in the hall.
“What is the location of the cocktail party?”
Mu Anan went downstairs and asked Luo Sen.
Luo Sen did not answer. Instead, he handed Mu Anan an eye mask.
What was going on?
