Chapter 51 (2/2)

Anhao stared at him with a furious expression on her face. “Do you really think I resemble a white lotus flower? How do I resemble one?”

Zuo Hancheng ignored her outburst that occurred because she felt insulted. After that, he sneered before he replied, “So, do you really think I would be that blind to look for a woman that is like a white lotus flower?”

Anhao was stunned for a moment before she finally regained her composure.

She reflected on his words, and after some time, she realized that Zuo Hancheng was actually complimenting her in an indirect manner. It was obvious that the only reason why he was willing to marry her was because she was not that type of person.

That was much better!

Anhao’s rage disappeared as quickly as it came. After that, she sat down and leaned against the back of the sofa before she picked up one of the pillows and hugged it before glancing at the time. “It’s only two o’clock in the afternoon. Why are you back so early?”

“Your husband is not a robot. When the company is busy, I will naturally be busy. However, I will also have my own free time. Since I do not have any more work on hand, it is only natural for me to come back home so that I can have some peace and quiet.”

As soon as he was done speaking, Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his hand as he rubbed his eyebrows gently as though he was in deep thoughts. “I obviously made a mistake…”

“…”

Alright then. She robbed him of his quiet time.

Anhao smacked her lips together as she pouted. However, she immediately felt a painful jab on her cheek because of the movement in her mouth. She lifted her hand to touch her cheeks and when she felt that it was hurting, she put down her hand quickly.

Zuo Hancheng could see her slight movements but she was quiet and she did not say anything at all. This was because she wanted to give him some quiet time.

Zuo Hancheng smiled before he asked, “Did you apply any medicine on your face?”

“Yes.” Anhao nodded without making any more noise.

“Was Mrs. Gu the one who slapped you?”

“Yes… how did you guess it?”

Well, it would not be that surprising if he had guessed that it was a member of the Gu family, but how did he know that it was Mrs. Gu?

Zuo Hancheng raised his hand as he gently stroked her red and swollen cheek. Even though his touch was very light and gentle, it was still painful and Anhao could only endure the pain.

“I saw Mrs. Gu and your step-sister when I was at Deways Hotel,” Zuo Hancheng replied softly.

“Oh.” Anhao suddenly recalled the confrontation that she had with Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi at the bathroom in Deways Hotel the other night. She felt a little helpless and wronged but she did not want to display her feelings in front of Zuo Hancheng. Therefore, she chose to keep silent and she did not say anything else.

This was until Zuo Hacheng suddenly asked, “Why did you go to Deways Hotel that night?”

Anhao raised her head as she looked at Zuo Hancheng in surprise. “Huh?”

Zuo Hancheng could see the guilt in her eyes and he glanced at the laptop that was on the table as he thought about the so-called ten million yuan reward that Anhao told him about earlier. After that, there was a cold expression on his face as he locked eyes with Anhao.

“Were you following me? You were trying to take a few pictures of me so that you could get the ten million yuan cash reward?”

Anhao lowered her head because she knew that she would not be able to hide the truth from Zuo Hancheng.

However, she could not stop herself from muttering under her breath, “If I knew that those reporters and paparazzi were not going to publish those pictures, then I should have taken out my cell phone to take a few photos of you that day. I would have taken a really nice and intimate picture of you and that woman from where I was standing the other night. I wasted that opportunity…”

“Gu Anhao, you are really one of a kind. You would betray your husband for ten million yuan?”
