In the Maybach.
Extreme racing was underway.
Mu Anan watched as Zong Zhengyu rushed across the road at the last second when the red light turned yellow.
She stole a glance at Seventh Master.
He was impressed by Seventh Master’s driving skills. He did not break any rules throughout the entire journey.
Perhaps she could take it that Seventh Master’s driving skills had improved and should be pleased.
“Seventh Master?” Mu Anan called out tentatively.
“Why?”
Zong Zhengyu replied with a single word.
He turned the steering wheel while staring at the rearview mirror. When the car turned, he operated the steering wheel with one hand and pressed his other hand on Mu Anan’s shoulder.
This was to prevent Mu Anan from tilting forward due to inertia.
Zong Zhengyu was only relieved when the car returned to a straight line.
Mu Anan’s nervous heart slowly calmed down.
This time, Seventh Master’s driving allowed her to feel more at ease.
Mu Anan looked at Zong Zhengyu again and said, “Seventh Master, Tang Mi picked up when 1 called you yesterday.”
“Yes.”
“She told me that she is the fiancee that the Zong family arranged for you.”
Mu Anan was still very nervous when she asked this question.
She had kept this question to herself for the entire night.
Yesterday, she called Seventh Master. But Tang Mi answered it. Mu Anan’s displeasure had subsided after Seventh Master said that he would pick her up. She still wanted to clarify the matter.
“Not completely.” Zong Zhengyu replied.
Mu Anan’s heart heaved, “You mean that once you’ve developed affection in
your time together, the relationship is instantly established.”
“You can say that.” Zong Zhengyu replied calmly.
Mu Anan’s hands were tightly gripping her seatbelt. She could not calm down at all, but she still had to pretend to be calm, “So, what’s your attitude towards Tang Mi, Seventh Master?”
It was obvious that Tang Mi liked Seventh Master very much.
Whether or not this marriage would be successful depended on the Seventh Master’s response.
Mu Anan had more thoughts.
Since the Zong family arranged for her to get along with Seventh Master, it meant that the Zong family was satisfied with Tang Mi and the marriage.
In the style of the gentry, the people involved could not afford to refuse.
Mu Anan had not received a response from Zong Zhengyu.
She was very nervous, but her heart sank.
After about a minute, Zong Zhengyu said, “1 have no such intention.”
“What?” Mu Anan stared at Seventh Master.
Zong Zhengyu was looking outside at the car behind him. He quickly turned the car around, his face a little impatient.
Because there were too many cars.
After this turn, they basically reached the city area. There were not many cars.
However, Mu Anan started to be anxious about the meaning of Zong Zhengyu’s words, “Seventh Master, do you mean that you have no plans to get married?” “No.” A very certain answer.
Mu Anan’s heart was beating wildly.
However, she did not know if she was excited or disappointed to receive such an answer.
He had no plans to get married.
It meant that he would not marry Tang Mi, but he would not marry her either.
“Why?” Mu Anan asked.
If this was before, Mu Anan would not have asked further.
She had been by Seventh Master’s side for so many years and knew her limits very well. Although she often did bad things and acted coquettishly to beg for favor, Mu Anan knew Seventh Master’s bottom line very well.
She knew what to ask, what not to ask, and what to stop at.
But today, Mu Anan really wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Mu Anan asked, “Seventh Master, don’t you want to find someone to spend the rest of your life with?”
The next second after Mu Anan asked this question, the car suddenly sped up. Because it was too sudden, Mu Anan’s body leaned against the back of the car.
The window was open, and the speed of the increase was soaring. The wind that blew past was very strong, like a knife.
It was cold and a little painful.
Fortunately, there were basically no other vehicles on the road leading to Yuyuan Estate.
Zong Zhengyu did not respond to Mu Anan’s words. The car sped all the way to the entrance of Yuyuan Estate.
Fortunately, this car was stable enough, otherwise, it would have collapsed just now.
When the car stopped, Mu Anan’s heart was beating wildly.
However, she knew very well that it was not entirely because of the car’s speed.
It was mostly because of Seventh Master’s attitude after she said that.
The car stopped for a while. Zong Zhengyu and Mu Anan did not speak. There was only the sound of their breathing in the car.
In fact, this situation was very easy to break.
All Mu Anan had to do was make a few jokes about Zong Zhengyu’s driving skills, then get out of the car and return to her room.
This matter was passed.
However, Mu Anan was not willing to do that now.
Perhaps she was provoked by Tang Mi’s words, or perhaps she was provoked by Seventh Master’s attitude.
Mu Anan looked at Seventh Master, “Seventh Master, why aren’t you answering my question?”
Zong Zhengyu turned to look at Mu Anan.
When she was at school or at work, Mu Anan always wore ugly makeup and glasses to hide her beauty.
Especially her eyes.
Zong Zhengyu reached out to remove Mu Anan’s glasses and stroked off some of the dark moles and freckles around her eyes with his thumbs.
Mu Anan was nervous and her body stiffened.
She didn’t move or speak and watched Zong Zhengyu wipe off the makeup around her eyes little by little.
Then, Zong Zhengyu looked up and met Mu Anan’s eyes, “In my lifetime, it’s enough for you to stay by my side.”
Bang!
When Zong Zhengyu said this, Mu Anan felt something suddenly hit her heart.
The sound was loud and the echo was long.
She felt like her whole body was in a very paralysed state.
The world was spinning in circles, repeating Zong Zhengyu’s sentence endlessly: In my lifetime, it’s enough for you to stay by my side.
In my lifetime, it’s enough for you to stay by my side.
In my lifetime.
It’s enough for you to stay by my side.
Did Seventh Master mean to spend the rest of his life with her?
Mu Anan was in a state of confusion.
She didn’t know how she got out of the car or how she got back to the villa.
When she came back to her senses, she was already standing naked in front of the full-body mirror in the bathroom.
Because she had just taken a shower, the mirror was covered in mist.
Mu Anan reached out and wiped the mist off the mirror.
Her dumbfounded expression was clearly reflected.
Mu Anan even reached out to pinch her own face and found that it didn’t hurt.
She turned around, grabbed the toiletries beside her, and smashed them on the back of her hand.
It hurt so much that she burst into tears.
It wasn’t a dream!
When they were in the car just now, Seventh Master’s words, ‘In my lifetime, it’s enough for you to stay by my side’, were not a dream.
It was real!
Mu Anan felt like she was about to explode at the moment.
She wanted to scream, shout, and jump.
Countless emotions were about to explode in her heart!
