C146

I cried my eyes out from being hugged by Mu Huainan, I was very happy.

I nodded and curled up in my arms, as relaxed and at ease as I had been when I was a child.

I looked up at him, misty with tears, his handsome face in the mist, his head lowered against mine.

I burst into tears again and lay sobbing in his arms.

"Uncle Huainan." I called him, as I had seven years ago.

Finally, he smiled, ruffled my hair, dropped a kiss on my cheek and said, "I really fell on your hands and can't get up again."

I smiled along with him. "Oh right, Uncle Huainan, how did you know I was in that warehouse?"

"That guy called Li Pei called me. He said you couldn't get through and didn't go to the rendezvous point yet. He suspected that something had happened to you." He held me, afraid to lose me again. "She gave me a general idea of that Zhao thing, and I knew where you were."

"As expected, He An's influence is really big. Finding someone is so easy."

He smiled. "That's because it's you."

"An'an." His thin lips slightly parted as he said, "Since you've recovered, you should come home with me."

He used a statement, not a question.

Mu Huainan probably did not plan to discuss with me this time. I had scared him to death, and he would not let me be willful outside.

"Uncle Huainan, I …"

I still have a lot of excuses I can use, and I can find ten thousand more reasons not to return to An Fang. However, once I said those words, he forcefully interrupted me.

"He An Fang is being taken care of by Liang Yin. Only by coming back and helping me take care of the company can I be at ease with my surgery."

I started.

"Such a big company, I don't feel at ease leaving it to anyone."

"But I …" I was still trying to find a reason, but I suddenly realized that no reason could beat that right now.

Mu Huainan used his own body as a threat to get me to return. This is his biggest bargaining chip, putting it in the end to tell me, he knows that I will definitely return for this.

I didn't say anything and slid down from his shoulder. I was so tired that I just wanted to sleep.

He gently helped me lie down, covered me up, and tidied me up a little. After that, he turned out the light, and I couldn't help but call out to him: "Uncle Huainan."

I heard him laugh in the dark. He knew me too well, and he knew what I was going to say as soon as I spoke.

"I've always been here with you."

Satisfied, I closed my eyes, but the drowsiness faded a little.

I couldn't help but open my eyes and see the man sitting on the couch beside the bed, his body slumped against the back of a chair. I couldn't make out his expression in the dark, just a vague outline, a shadow.

I didn't realize he'd lost so much weight over the years.

When I turned out the light, I couldn't sleep.

"Uncle Huainan." I couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry to have you accompany me. You must be extremely tired."

The shadow in the darkness moved, then slowly got up and walked to my bed. He switched on the light on my bedside lamp and looked at me closely under the dim light.

"Little girl, you are my life, do you know?"

Then he leaned down and kissed me. "If you're not here, I'll lose my nostalgia for the world and die."

I reached out with my free hand and covered his mouth with the quilt.

"You're not allowed to keep that word on your lips."

That's my taboo.

He lightly held my wrist and gently bit down on my lips. "My little ancestor, whatever you say, I will listen to you."

"Uncle Huainan, I'm afraid of the hospital."

"When I closed my eyes just now, I thought of that day seven years ago …"

Before I finished speaking, Mu Huainan's heavy and tired sigh could be heard.

"An An, you're tired, don't let your thoughts run wild. I'll sleep with you, okay? "

I looked at him and nodded.

He took off his shoes and coat. Holding my hand, he took me in his arms and crawled into bed with me. There were two people squeezed together on the bed, and he was warm in my arms.

"Uncle Huainan, I can't help but reminisce. I …" I sighed. "I didn't want to mess with you."

I was too tired. I didn't have any strength left.

"I know." Mu Huainan said in a heavy voice, "Everyone has their own bottom line. An An, my bottom line is that I don't want children."

I still couldn't resist saying, "I just don't want to accept it."

"After all, you are your own flesh and blood, and even tigers are so ruthless yet they don't eat their own children. I don't believe that you are so merciless that you even kill your own children."

Mu Huainan suddenly asked me.

"Did Shen Xiuyuan tell you about me and the female model?"

It was the first time he had told me stories about himself and other women.

Mu Huainan is a man, a normal man. Before I turned eighteen, he did have a few women.

Either a top international model or a Hollywood female lead. I had secretly searched for any woman he had ever played with, and guessed that I was the defective.

Mu Huainan asked me this. There was so many women in the past, how could I know which one it was?

I asked him, "Which one did you say?"

Mu Huainan burst out laughing.

"What, Shen Xiuyuan said I'm a playboy?"

I rolled my eyes at him.

"There were a few women before." Mu Huainan said: "All of them were invited to the partners' ball or were invited to the awards ceremony to get to know each other. They felt that they were not bad looking and had a good personality, so I brought them back to sleep for the night."

Other than Mu Huainan, there were very few other people in the world who could make a female star as casual as that go.

"Tsk."

"At that time, you were still young, so I don't know if you were willing to follow me or not. I was afraid that if you weren't, how would I dare to touch you?"

I curled my lip. "Alright, continue talking. What happened next?"

"Then one of my models got pregnant, either a model or an actress. I don't remember. She told me she was pregnant."

I seem to have heard this story before. It was … The Pei-jie told me! When she described to me how terrifying Mu Huainan is, she told me this story.

"I asked her to beat up the child, to give her money, to give her the best resources in the circle, but she wouldn't."

I was startled.

"Then what does she want?"

"She wants me to acknowledge her publicly and marry her."

If Mu Huainan had agreed to it that year, then I would have had nothing to do with it.

"What happened next?"

"Later on, I got someone to take her and kill the child. She hated me and came to me with a knife. The surrounding people blocked them and even accidentally ruined her face."

"And then you threw her into the sea?"

Mu Huainan remained calm: "What, you know about this?"

I nodded. "Uncle Xiuyuan told me about it."

I dare not say that Pei-jie told me, but I'm worried that he would find trouble with Pei-jie.

Mu Huainan did not deny that he threw his into the sea.

"So, when I accidentally gave you a child, and accidentally made a mistake, you punished me by killing my child?"

Mu Huainan coughed twice.

"An An, you're right, I was wrong."

This was probably the first time in almost seven years that he had apologized for what had happened.

Every time I mentioned it, he would say, a little impatiently, "Anthea, I said I didn't want children."

The tone was cold, decisive, unquestionable.

But now, he hugged me and whispered in my ear, "I'm sorry."

"Your words of apology really flattered me."

He rubbed my head. "I'm not apologizing to you for the baby." He said, "I made you sad for so many years. I apologize for that."

"What's the difference?"

"There's a difference, An'an." He held me close, his voice steady as it traveled through the night to reach my ears.

"It's getting late, go to sleep, good night."

"Uncle Huainan, good night."

I rested in the hospital for around two weeks before I left the hospital. I obviously only had legs that were inconvenient, but I wanted to act spoiled in front of Mu Huainan and say that I was inconvenient everywhere: my hands hurt, my arms hurt, my shoulders hurt, my head hurt.

I sat on the sickbed, Mu Huainan helped me put on my clothes, tied my scarf, put on my shoes, squatted in front of me and tied my shoelaces.

Liang Yin, who was at the side, could not watch any longer and leaned over. In the end, Mu Huainan's hand: "Mr. Mou, let me do it."

Mu Huainan didn't want to at first, but suddenly he coughed and stood up in a hurry to leave.

He put his hand to his mouth and coughed as he walked out.

I looked after him and decided that I must go home and have surgery with him.

It was true that there was no time to lose.

Liang Yin squatted and tied my shoes, waiting for Mu Huainan to get out completely before she opened her mouth.

"Mr. Mou never does these things."

Without thinking, I told him the truth.

"That's because I didn't come back."

Liang Yin didn't say a word, and silently tied the shoelace on my other foot.

She stood aside, and I looked at her with eyes as cold as Mu Huainan's.

This Liang Yin, only when he looked at Mu Huainan, had a different emotion in his eyes.

As a woman, I naturally understand the undulations of those emotions.

"You like him, don't you?"

My words were straightforward, causing Liang Yin to be startled, but she did not immediately defend herself, and only looked at me.

"You are the same person as him. You should know what the result would be if you like him like this."

My words did not mean anything, but I did not wish for there to be another woman in this world who would be like me, trapped in Mu Huainan's swamp.

Liang Yin deeply looked at me: "Why did you realize, I, to Mr. Mou, he …."

"Haha." "Because I understand Mu Huainan's violent nature, and am still willing to not turn around and follow his woman, must be because I like her."

Otherwise, no one would be able to persevere on.
