Chapter 12 (2/2)
Anhao was already so used to saying the three words “Why would you”.
However, Anhao knew why. Because he was her legal husband; because she made a mistake of marrying a stranger due to her fight with those psychopaths at Gu Residence.
‘I wanna marry you!’ After that, he vanished due to some urgent matter that day, which she still felt was better for her too. She not only managed to escape the Gu family, but also would not have the need to have a bond with a stranger nor let him disturb her own life.
‘It’s just a marriage certificate; it would never affect my life anyway. I killed three birds with one stone.’
Who knew that after making an appearance today he would be so pompous so as to claim that he was going to tell her how to live her life.
Anhao held back her words and took a deep breath. “At the bar, I only sell alcohol, I don’t sell myself. Plus, I’m an adult now, and whatever I wanna do is none of your business. I bet there’s no such rule in the law, right? So, why meddle in whatever job I do?”
“You’re short of money?”
“… Not really.” Anhao continued to hold her temper in. “I have both the school fees and pocket money Gu Tianming gives me monthly in my bank account. Even though I don’t get hundreds of thousands of pocket money that celebrities and rich people would give, I’m still not short of money either.”
“You’re not short of money, and yet you sell alcohol in the bar every night?”
“I like it, and I’m willing to.” Anhao lifted her chin. “Even without the monthly allowance Gu Tianming unwillingly volunteered to give me, I can still depend on the money I earn from selling alcohol to support myself until I get to study in a university.”
Zuo Hancheng did not say a word upon hearing the indifference and disobedience of this girl, which reminded him of the way the so-called Gu family treated her.
Anhao gave out a satisfied snort, thinking that he had lost in the argument.
Upon sending her back to Enchanting Bar, Zuo Hancheng let her take her school bag and all her stuff.
Then, she took the time to call Chunchun on the phone. Upon realizing that Chunchun had opened a random room in the bar to stay in after being sober, she took her things with relief.

Going into a high-end estate, the car stopped in front of an independent duplex house.
Anhao had a look at the surroundings through the car window and recognized that this was the most high-end Liujing Gardens built in A City a few years ago.
The price was impressively costly. Not everyone would be able to afford to live here, let alone rich people. This estate might be expensive, but it mostly consisted of independent duplex houses. Therefore, there were only sixty-six of them in the entire estate, and the people who lived here were extremely wealthy.
As Zuo Hancheng parked his car in a separate parking lot in front of a duplex house, Anhao became even more curious about who this man here actually was…
She had seen many celebrities and magnates in A City for so many years despite the fact that she was often looked down upon in Gu Residence. But, where on earth did Zuo Hancheng come from? And who was he anyway?
While being suspicious from the bottom of her heart, she was relieved that the internal door locks were finally unlocked and she got out of the car.
Anhao did not have a good sleep last night, and she had been up and about the whole day today. She was, needless to say, exhausted, so she followed Zuo Hancheng into his house with her eyes all blurry.
Before she stepped into the spacious and neat living room, she saw Zuo Hancheng unbuttoning the collar of his shirt like a natural the moment he entered, looking a lot more casual than he was during the day. Then, he went into a room and walked out not long afterward. He was holding half a glass of clean water and drinking it while glancing at her.
Anhao was still standing at the doorway without taking off her shoes and putting down her school bag. Upon seeing this, he put the glass on the coffee table before turning around to look at her and asked, “Not gonna come in?”
