Young and Beautiful Wife: Sir, Be Patient

I Love It When You Don’t Mean What You Say

Mu Anan looked at Zong Zhengyu and sighed softly.

Because she was not comfortable leaning against him and wanted to change her position. However, before she could move, Zong Zhengyu held her shoulders and said, “Don’t move.”

“I’m not comfortable.”

“Endure.”

“Seventh master…”

Zong Zhengyu expressionlessly took a pillow and placed it behind Mu Anan’s lower back, changing her position slightly.

Mu Anan looked on with a smile.

She loved it when Seventh Master didn’t mean what he said.

Mu Anan was smiling, but when she felt Zong Zhengyu’s gaze sweeping over, she immediately became serious and returned to their conversation.

“Chen Hua will never betray me,” Mu Anan said sternly. “She’s not the type of person who would do such a thing.”

“Hmm?”

“Chen Hua grew up in a family that valued boys over girls. Her parents neglected her. Whenever Chen Hua told her family what she was thinking or what she wanted to do, all she got was sarcasm. In addition, she has been putting on weight since junior high school and unable to slim down, which led to people laughing at her and her feeling more and more inferior.”

Mu Anan spoke slowly.

Zong Zhengyu sat on the chair beside her bed, with his legs crossed elegantly, his hands crossed on his legs and his eyes slightly lowered.

Mu Anan continued, “I met her in our first year of university. She was fat and I was ugly. I forgot how we got together but since we became friends, she’s been especially good to me and has a very mild personality. Even when I lost my temper sometimes, she would act like nothing happened and never keep score.”

“She’s timid and amiable. Because she’s been bullied since young, she especially cherishes her real friends. So, Chen Hua is definitely not involved in this matter.”

When the drug took effect and Mu Anan lost her strength to fight back, Chen Jiali said that Mu Anan had taken a double dose of sleeping pills. Mu Anan did suspect it was Chen Hua then.

She had been thinking about it for the past few days. The more she thought about it, the more unlikely it was.

“Some people change.” Zong Zhengyu raised his eyes.

Mu Anan shook her head. “I believe that my friend will not change. From the day I became friends with her, I trusted her completely. We wouldn’t been so close otherwise.”

“Seventh Master, what’s the point if we have to be wary and suspicious of our friends? It’s not like I can’t be happy on my own. Why would I make things difficult for myself?”

Mu Anan tilted her head and smiled at Zong Zhengyu when she said that.

But Zong Zhengyu’s face was dark as he straightened Mu Anan’s head. “Both your shoulders are injured. Don’t move your head around.”

“Okay.”

Mu Anan complied.

“Seventh Master, I know Chen Hua and I trust my friendship. Even if Chen Hua betrayed me one day, it doesn’t matter. I’ll bear the consequences. There’s nothing I can’t bear, but I definitely won’t suspect my friend.”

Other than losing the right to stay by your side.

In this life, I can bear anything, except losing the right to stay by your side.

Mu Anan stared at Zong Zhengyu, her eyes filled with affection.

But when Zong Zhengyu looked up, Mu Anan quickly looked away. “This is my view on relationships.”

From the moment she decided on Zong Zhengyu, she had never thought of loving anyone else.

It was the same with Chen Hua.

When she chose Chen Hua, she thought that they would be friends for life. Even if they drifted apart or something happened later, it was all in the future.

Mu Anan suppressed her emotions and looked up at Zong Zhengyu again.

Their eyes met.

Zong Zhengyu looked at Mu Anan in silence. Her beautiful almond eyes were filled with determination, courage, and a kind of stubbornness.

Inexplicably, Zong Zhengyu’s heart skipped a beat.

Those eyes.

Zong Zhengyu closed his eyes and massaged his glabella.

“Seventh Master, is your migraine acting up again?” Mu Anan started to get nervous when she saw his action. Subconsciously, she wanted to get out of bed but the wound on her shoulder was pulled and there was a tearing sound.

Seeing this, Zong Zhengyu immediately stood up and held Mu Anan down, lecturing her, “Didn’t I tell you not to move?”

“I’m worried about you.”

“What are you worried about? Have you taken care of yourself?”

When Zong Zheng lectured Mu Anan, he was not gentle at all. He was extremely fierce.

Mu Anan felt wronged and looked at Zong Zhengyu with puppy dog eyes.

Seventh Master, who had a tense expression and was extremely fierce, instantly surrendered. “I’m fine. Mind your injuries.”

Mu Anan didn’t answer but continued to look at Zong Zhengyu with puppy dog eyes.

Zong Zhengyu was speechless.

He bent over and pulled Mu Anan into his arms, which made the girl smile.

Zong Zhengyu pinched Mu Anan’s nose.

He did not say anything else. He picked up an iPad from the bedside table and gave it to Mu Anan.

Mu Anan was a little surprised. “Seventh Master, this is?”

“Your friendship.”

Although Zong Zhengyu’s words were simple, Mu Anan understood almost instantly.

She looked down at the iPad. It was probably some investigation about Chen Hua. The most important evidence should be the bottled water that Chen Hua had opened for her at the convenience store on old street.

The iPad contained evidence, and Mu Anan was a little nervous.

However, despite her nervousness, she didn’t like to waste time.

The truth was right in front of her. Whether it was good or bad, all she could do was find out.

Mu Anan took a deep breath and turned on the iPad. A paused video appeared.

The frozen frame was inside the convenience store and Chen Hua was scanning the code to pay for the drinks.

Mu Anan pressed the play button.

The silent video played. After Chen Hua scanned the code to pay, she stuffed a bottle of mineral water into her pocket and twisted open the other bottle.

As soon as she opened it, someone patted her shoulder.

Chen Hua turned and said something to that person. She then looked down at her shoelaces, and placed the opened bottle of mineral water on the counter and squatted down.

The cashier, who was expressionless, poured a powder into the mineral water and shook it gently. The powder dissolved in the water without leaving a trace.

Chen Hua stood up and did not think much about it. She gently twisted the bottle cap and left.

The video ended.

Mu Anan heaved a sigh of relief after watching it.

“Chen Jiali is quite impressive. How did she know that we would definitely go to that convenience store?” Mu Anan asked.

Zong Zhengyu sat at the side and said, “Scroll down.”

Mu Anan scrolled down obediently and found a few photos.

The photos showed Chen Jiali interacting with the cashiers of several convenience stores on old street.

In order to mess with her, she had spent money to bribe all the convenience stores on the street. It took her so much effort.

Zong Zhengyu said, “Luo Sen investigated Chen Hua’s communication records. That day, she didn’t talk to Chen, what’s her name. But she called a person named Lin Yue three times.”

Lin Yue?

It was an unfamiliar name.

“Lin Yue is Chen Hua’s younger brother’s girlfriend. She’s pregnant.”

Mu Anan was surprised. She had never heard Chen Hua mention this before.

“Do Chen Hua’s parents know?” asked Mu Anan.

Zong Zhengyu replied, “I don’t know. She probably wants to handle it herself. But that woman’s private life is complicated.”

Zong Zhengyu moved his chin, gesturing for Mu Anan to scroll further down.

Mu Anan did as she was told.

However, when she reached the last page, she gasped.
