Chapter 839: Zuo Hancheng’s Wounds (3)

The moment she saw Zuo Hancheng and Anhao, her boiling emotions calmed down.

However, she did not want Zuo Hancheng to notice the impulsiveness and anxiety in her heart. She could only say,”I can’t sleep. I want to go out for a walk.”

However, just as she finished her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already walked in. He raised his hand and gently grabbed her shoulder, turning her around. He closed the door with one hand and forced her back into the guest room with the other.

“You want to look for Anping?” Zuo Hancheng sent her to the bedside and did not let her leave rashly. As he spoke, he glanced at the empty cup on the bedside table.

The room was filled with the smell of herbal tea. Zuo Hancheng shifted his gaze from the cup to Anhao’s face.”You’ve only been in the Andersons for a few hours and you’re already not calm?”

“I just feel that things seem to be different from what I imagined.”Anhao raised her head and looked at him.” The old madam seems to have recognized me and seems to know of my existence. Before this, I was just suspicious. But she was so concerned about me and asked the servants to bring me medicinal tea. She even cared about my health. It’s obvious that she’s not as cold as I thought. It’s not that she doesn’t recognize me as her granddaughter.””

Zuo Hancheng listened to Anhao’s words and did not refute her. He only looked at the troubled emotions in her eyes and raised his hand to caress her head.”I know that you’re very anxious now, but calm down first. Things are indeed different from what you thought, but Mrs. Hunt is not Mr. Hunt. You don’t know the An family’s situation yet. If we expose the matter now, we won’t be able to achieve the effect we want.”

“What effect?” Anhao remembered that Zuo Hancheng had said that he wanted to bring her back to win a battle. Initially, she did have this goal, but now that things were different from what she had imagined, she did not know what to do.

Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He simply unbuttoned the exquisite cufflinks on his sleeves and said calmly,””Regarding your background, the root of the problem lies with Old Master An. Anping and Old Madam are both the passive ones. As for Anxin…”

Zuo Hancheng suddenly paused and changed the topic.””In short, now is not the time.”

“Is my father the man they’re talking about?”Anhao suddenly asked.

Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. He just looked at her.

After a short silence, Zuo Hancheng said,””Yes.”

Anhao’s eyes met his, and her expression gradually froze. The doubts that weighed heavily on her heart forced her to become even calmer in an instant, as if she was the same as Zuo Hancheng in front of her.

There was a condensed yet subtle atmosphere floating in the air.

What kind of man and what kind of problem could make Old Master An break off his father-daughter relationship? After all, An Ping was the only daughter and the An family had no other children.

If this matter really lingered in the An family for more than 20 years, wouldn’t it mean that the An family had never truly been at peace for the past 20 years?

Remembering what An Ping said just now, Anhao asked,””Elder An asked you to talk to him just now. What did you talk about?”

Based on her understanding of Zuo Hancheng, she believed that no matter what Old Master An had seen through, he would not be able to get anything out of Zuo Hancheng.

However, she was curious about what Zuo Hancheng would say to Old Master An.

Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly as he glanced at the hickeys on her body that were revealed after the foundation that covered her blemishes had been washed off. He raised his hand and his slender fingers fell on her neck. He caressed her gently and ambiguously, causing Anhao to tremble slightly. She quickly raised her hand to slap his hand away.

“Don’t touch it. I’m talking to you about serious matters.”Anhao slapped his hand away with a serious expression and slightly shrank her neck to avoid his touch.

She knew that the places he touched were the places that she had covered with foundation because of the marks he had left on her last night. Anhao felt her head heat up. She avoided him and turned her back to open the window so that the smell of medicinal tea in the room could dissipate and some fresh air could come in.

However, Zuo Hancheng did not expose her feelings when he saw how shy she was because she was in the An family’s guest room. He only sighed and said,””I’m sure you’ve seen how smart Old Master An is this afternoon. He’s just taking the opportunity to ask something.”

Anhao’s heart instantly felt at ease when she heard the answer.

As expected, she was right. She looked a little like An Ping, even more so than Anxin. If Old An did not suspect anything, it would indeed be abnormal.

However, since she was trying to get Zuo Hancheng’s information out, she felt relieved.

In any case, he would not be able to get anything out of Zuo Hancheng. Perhaps, the old man would still be tricked by Zuo Hancheng.

She could not help but turn around to glance at the black-bellied man, only to see that Zuo Hancheng had already walked towards the bathroom.

As soon as she saw Zuo Hancheng enter the bathroom, Anhao’s thoughts were instantly attracted by the figure behind the glass door.

Even though Zuo Hancheng’s wounds had already healed, she still remembered how serious the gunshot wounds on his shoulder and abdomen were.

She walked over and stood outside the bathroom door, waiting for him to come out of the shower to check on his injuries.

If his wound still looked very serious, she should consider reducing the time he spent with the An family or let him go back to recuperate earlier. He could not stay here and accompany her in this tug-of-war with the An family.

Just as she was thinking, Zuo Hancheng’s voice suddenly came from inside.””The company called just now. I was at Elder An’s place at the time, so I didn’t pick up. Take a look. If it’s Mobai calling, give him a call.”

Did Zuo Hancheng know that she was waiting outside the door to peek?

Anhao could only turn around and look at the phone that he had thrown beside the bed before entering the bathroom. She picked it up and looked at it. It was indeed a call from Mobai.

Ever since Zuo Hancheng returned to the United States, he rarely picked up the calls from his company. He would only pick up calls from Mobai.

Previously, Zuo Hancheng had said that the company would be handed over to the vice president and Mobai for the time being. The calls from other people might not be of much importance, but since Mobai had called personally, it must be something that Zuo Hancheng had to deal with personally.

Anhao returned the call, and the other side picked it up very quickly. Mobai’s voice sounded at the same time as the call was answered,””President Zuo.”

Hearing Mobai’s voice, Anhao suddenly missed A City even more. She couldn’t help but smile and say,””Who is your President Zuo? I’m Mrs. Zuo.”

On the other end of the phone, Mobai was stunned for a moment before he smiled.””Anhao? Why did you call me back? Is President Zuo busy?”
