Mu Anan’s scalp went numb when she said that.
If that was the case…
Then, to hide this matter during this period…
“Maybe I was just thinking too much.” Dr. Gu interrupted Mu Anan’s thoughts, “You’ve been hiding the issue very well.”
Mu Anan did not say anything. Instead, she sat back down on the bed beside her.
She turned her gaze and saw the package on the bedside table.
Mu Anan reached out to take it and held it in her arms, “Whether he knows what I like or not. Whether the old master agrees or not, what I’m sure of is that I’m going to take him to see my mother.”
Mu Anan’s voice was very gentle, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved. ’
In the past, Mu Anan did not dare to see Mu Qing because she felt guilty and felt that she was not qualified.
But now, she could meet her.
She brought the man she loved the most to meet her mother.
“Aren’t you going to open the package?” Dr. Gu suddenly asked.
Mu Anan said, “I’m planning to open it when I go to see my mom.”
“I thought that you would open the package on the first day you received it I d>dn’t expect you to wait until now.” Dr. Gu said, his eyes fixed on the package in Mu Anan’s hands.
“At the time I didn’t think it was the right time, but now it is.” Mu Anan raised her eyebrows when she looked up at Dr. Gu.” There’s a secret inside. I can’t open it early.”
“A secret?” Dr. Gu was confused. His gaze fell on the package again, “Didn’t your mother give you this package ten years ago?” What kind of secret can span ten years?”
“I don’t know.” Mu Anan shook her head, “But I know that my mother has been hiding this secret for a very, very long time.”
When this secret was brought up, Mu Anan started talking about her childhood.
She said, “My mother doted on me very much. When I was young, she gave me everything good. But sometimes I felt weird. Like, she always stared into my eyes, and then her eyes would get red. Then, she would hug me and cry.” Dr. Gu’s expression suddenly froze.
Mu Anan didn’t notice and continued, “I was still young at that time. I thought that my eyes were not good, so Mom was worried about my eyes and cried.
“Later, when I grew up and recalled this matter, I realized that it was completely different.”
“What do you mean?” Dr. Gu stared at Mu Anan and asked.
Mu Anan was so immersed in her memories that she did not notice the subtle change in Dr. Gu’s expression.
He stared at the package with a nervous expression.
Mu Anan said, “When I grew up, I had some dreams. When I recalled how my mother looked at that time, I always felt like she was looking at another person through my eyes.”
This feeling was very strong.
In the beginning, Mu Anan recalled that she might have been overthinking things. 5
But when she thought about it more, she remembered that some of the looks from her mother were really strange.
“Moreover…”
Mu Anan’s voice was much softer, “Sometimes, I feel that the way Seventh
Master looks at me is a little like how my mom looks at me.”
Dr. Gu looked up abruptly, “Are you too sensitive?”
Mu Anan didn’t say anything. She just turned to look at Dr. Gu.
Dr. Gu said, “Miss Anan, actually, I’ve never mentioned this before. Sometimes you’re too meticulous and you catch too many details. But sometimes, a look, a sentence, or an action doesn’t mean anything.”
“Do you mean that I’m over-interpreting the details?” MuAnn chuckled softly.
“That’s what I mean.” Dr. Gu nodded.
“Maybe you didn’t realize it. Seventh Master prefers my eyes in particular, and my mum often looked at my eyes with the same look he did, as if my eyes…” It was as if he was hiding some huge secret.
However, Mu Anan did not intend to continue the topic.
She picked up the package and shook it at Dr. Gu, “Whether it’s a secret or I’m too particular about the details. The answers are all in this. When we go to see Mum, I’ll open it and read it, with Seventh Master.”
“What if the truth is too embarrassing?” Dr. Gu blurted out.
After saying that, he seemed to realize something and added, “After all, most of the truths are not good.”
“I have to know whether it’s good or not. What’s more, I can afford it.” Mu Anan said frankly.
Whether it was pain or suffering, or even so-called embarrassment.
She was never afraid.
“But…”
“Sister An!”
As Dr. Gu said, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.
Immediately after, Mu Anan’s room door was pushed open from the outside, and Xiao Jiu rushed in like a gust of wind.
Seeing this, Mu Anan quickly pulled Dr. Gu up, “Dr. Gu, help! I’m injured!”
Because she rushed so hard, Dr. Gu took a few steps back and crashed into the wall behind him.
The loud thud shook Mu Anan’s back.
She was glad that she had reacted quickly and used Dr. Gu as a scapegoat.
Otherwise, she would have lost half her life from Xiao Jiu’s rush.
Dr. Gu was also hit hard, “Ninth, Ninth Miss…”
“Huh?” Xiao Jiu rushed too hard and was in a daze.
When she realized that she was hugging Gu Shuqing, she quickly took two Steps back and bowed to Dr. Gu, “Brother Shuqing, I’m sorry. I was too excited.” Dr. Gu could not say anything other than a bitter smile.
On the other side, Xiao Jiu’s attention was not on Dr. Gu. After bowing, she immediately turned around to check on Mu Anan, “Sister An, how are you? Are you okay?”
As she spoke, she grabbed Mu Anan’s arm and shook her.
Mu Anan had just escaped death, but she was still shaken by the storm. She quickly Struggled free and held Xiao Jiu down, “I’m fine!”
“Are you sure?” Xiao Jiu was anxious. She looked Mu Anan up and down “When
I saw you fall from the second floor, my heart was in my mouth, especially
when you were hanging upside down from the wall.”
“Sister An, I’ve never seen anyone like this in real life except on television I was almost scared to death. If anything happens to you, I’ll die in my Seventh Brother’s hands.”
“So, you’ve been talking nonsense for a long time, not because you’re concerned about me, but because you’re worried that you will be punished by your Seventh Brother?” Mu Anan raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jiu as if she had seen through everything.
Xiao Jiu, who was anxious and chattering non-stop, suddenly felt embarrassed when her little worry was exposed.
She scratched her head, “Hehe, Sister An, why do you have to be so direct with the truth…”
“What did you say?”
“No, no!” Xiao Jiu quickly shook its head, “I mean, I was really touched when I saw that Seventh Brother would rather be shot than get hurt with you! I feel that my Seventh Brother really loves you.”
“By the way, Sister An, after this incident ends, shouldn’t I take the opportunity to confess to Seventh Brother sincerely and emotionally? Then, I’ll be able to officially call her Seventh Sister-in-law?”
Xiao Jiu rattled on and on, looking at Mu Anan with its big, sparkling eyes. It was filled with anticipation.
It would have been better if she had not said anything, but once she did, Mu
Anan became resentful again….
