Chapter 53: The First Battle

“Do you have your first love, Seventh Master?” Mu Anan suddenly asked.

She was extremely nervous.

Zong Zhengyu was 28 years old.

In Mu Anan’s experience, it was common for him to have a first love.

She was very curious about Seventh Master’s love history.

However, Seventh Master pinched her ear harder.

Mu Anan cried out in pain. “Be gentle, Seventh Master.”

…..
“Go back to sleep.”

Zong Zhengyu pulled her out of the room.

Although Mu Anan was curious, she knew that Zong Zhengyu would not answer.

If she asked too many times, not only would she not get an answer, she would be beaten

up.

In the end, Mu Anan gave up.

“Then 1’11 leave first.” Mu Anan lowered her eyes and walked out.

“Wait a minute.”

Just as she reached the door, Zong Zhengyu’s voice sounded, “Don’t drink wine with milk next time.”

Mu Anan nodded.

“Go back to sleep.”

“Alright.”

Mu Anan responded obediently.

However, when she returned to her room and lay on her bed, she was in a state of insomnia.

People who had something on their minds always suffered from insomnia.

It was a sleepless night.

And the most direct consequence was that Mu Anan’s eyes were bruised.

However, she did not want Zong Zhengyu to notice anything. So she put on makeup early in the morning and applied two layers of blush to hide her slightly pale face.

When she went downstairs for breakfast, the servant told them that Seventh Master had already gone to the company.

After breakfast, Mu Anan went back to her room to remove her makeup and lay in bed to rest.

Because Chen Jiali had caused Mu Anan to get injured, Zong Zhengyu had applied for 10 days of leave for Mu Anan.

There were still three more days before the end.

During these three days, Mu Anan did not move much.

She slept during the day and had insomnia at night.

Zong Zhengyu had been especially busy these few days.

He left early and came back late, so Mu Anan could not get together with him.

In the past, Mu Anan would go crazy if she did not see Zong Zhengyu for a day.

But this time she mainly wanted to avoid something.

Something about that night, something about Zhong Ting.

And something about provoking the Seventh Master

Mu Anan suddenly realized that the longer this matter was delayed, the more serious the consequences would be.

But she didn’t have the courage to confess to Seventh Master.

She couldn’t bear the consequences.

Because once she confessed, the best outcome was that she would be sent abroad by him. But the worst outcome was that she would be chased out of the Yuyuan Estate.

Seventh Maste was the only one in her world.

If Seventh Master abandoned her…

Mu Anan did not even dare to think about it.

It always made her panic because she couldn’t afford the consequences.

Mu Anan took a deep breath.

However, at this stage, being panicked was useless. What she needed to do was to deal with things, not hide here.

Too cowardly!

Mu Anan adjusted her emotions.

At this moment, her phone rang.

It was Chen Hua.

These days Chen Hua had a bunch of family matters, and Mu Anan was also adjusting. They were busy with their ovm things and did not keep in touch frequently.

Chen Hua said, “Anan, are you going to the hospital tomorrow?”

“Yes, I’ll.” Mu Anan answered.

“Can we go together?” asked Chen Hua.

“Huh?” Mu Anan was confused.

Chen Hua said, “I mean, can we meet at the hospital entrance and go in together?”

“Did something happen?” asked Mu Anan.

Chen Hua said, “That’s… That is because of this matter of us taking leave this time. There were only three interns the psychiatric hospital received this time. One of us, Huo Xian, hasn’t shown up. And we took ten days off after two days of internship. The director called me earlier and the tone was not pleasant. He told us to go straight to him when we arrived at the hospital, and 1 guess he wanted to give us a lecture.”

After listening to Chen Hua’s long speech, Mu Anan already understood.

Chen Hua was timid and had a soft personality.

The hospital director had probably called her and expressed his opinion. She was guilty and was afraid that he would be reprimanded if he arrived early.

Mu Anan said straightforwardly. “Sure, let’s meet at the entrance of the hospital.”

“How about meeting at the bus terminal one street away from the hospital?” Chen Hua added weakly, “I’m afraid 1’11 run into the director at that time.”

Mu Anan, who had been depressed for days, was suddenly amused.

“Are you chuckling, Anan? I’ve been scared all day, and you’re chuckling?” Chen Hua was shocked and got hurt.

Mu Anan really found it funny. “1 just think it’s fun.”

“Not fun at all.” Chen Hua muttered,” If it weren’t for the director’s call, 1 probably wouldn’t have been able to go for my internship next week.”

“Okay, 1 understand. Let’s meet at the bus terminal tomorrow.”

Mu Anan was afraid that if she continued chuckling, Chen Hua would immediately cry and video call her.

It was better to restrain herself a little.

“Yes, let’s be scolded together.”

“I’m not going to be scolded. I’m injured, so I’m taking a reasonable leave of absence.”

“But I am not reasonable.” Chen Hua was about to cry.

Mu Anan lay on the bed and laughed. She comforted her. “It’s also reasonable that you have family matters. Alright, let’s meet up tomorrow and explain it to the director. It’s not a big deal, so don’t think too much about it.”

“Alright.” Chen Hua replied.

With Mu Anan around, Chen Hua would feel safe even if she was scolded.

After that, the two of them exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

Mu Anan stared at the phone screen and chuckled. She threw the phone aside.

…..
Just as she was about to lie down and rest, preparing for her internship tomorrow, she heard the sound of a car engine coming from downstairs.

She surmised that Seventh Master had returned.

Mu Anan glanced at the time.

It was 11: 30pm and he was back earlier today than yesterday.

During the last few days, Mu Anan had heard him return from within her room.

However, she pretended to be asleep and did not greet him.

Now she suddenly realised that she had not seen him for several days and she missed him terribly.

Mu Anan got out of bed directly, changed her clothes, and tidied herself up. Then, she left the room and went downstairs quickly.

When Mu Anan reached the first floor, Zong Zhengyu had just entered the living room.

“Seventh Master!”

Mu Anan suddenly shouted, then sped up towards Zong Zhengyu and jumped onto him.

Zong Zhengyu subconsciously hugged Mu Anan tightly.

He had just left a cocktail party with a headache just about to kick in and his face was a little tired.

Now that he was welcomed by this girl so warmly, he was a little surprised, “Hmm?”

“I miss you.” Mu Anan said cheerfully with a sweet smile on her face.

She arched her body against Zong Zhengyu and hugged him tighter.

“Come down.” Zong Zhengyu sighed.

Mu Anan didn’t move,” No, 1 won’t. As the saying, one day apart feels like three years. I haven’t seen you for three days. It’s been three years. 1 miss you so much, Seventh Master.”

She acted coquettishly and refused to get off Zong Zhengyu.

Instead, she hugged him even tighter.

She could feel the warmth of the Seventh Master’s body and smell his scent.

Mu Anan felt especially at ease.

However, just as Mu Anan was about to speak, her gaze swept to Zong Zhengyu’s collar.

Zong Zhengyu was wearing a white shirt with a red mark on his collar.

Mu Anan could tell that it was lipstick at a glance.

A woman’s lipstick!

“Seventh Master, aren’t you busy with work?” Mu Anan was very vigilant.

After all, with his status as Seventh Master and appearance, there were always a bunch of coquettes around him.

Zong Zhengyu carried Mu Anan to her room and placed her on the bed. He said concisely, “A cocktail party.”

Mu Anan stared at Zong Zhengyu, “Did any woman initiate a seduction with you?”
