It was very quiet outside the room.
Anhao had been sitting on the bed in the room. She did not know when Zuo Hancheng would suddenly come in, nor did she know what was going on in the private room downstairs.
Her body was uncomfortably hot, and her throat was dry, all the way to her stomach. It was as if there was a fire burning in her body. It was not that she had not eaten this kind of thing before. She had already tasted it on the day she first met Zuo Hancheng a few months ago. However, she had vomited a lot at that time, so the effects of the medicine quickly passed. However, she did not know how much medicine was added to the glass of white wine just now. Anhao felt that she was about to combust.
The wait was too torturous, so she got up and went into the bathroom. Before she entered the bathroom, her entire body was weak and powerless. She twisted the flowers in the bathroom and adjusted the water to the coldest temperature. Only when the cold water splashed on her body did she feel more comfortable. In the end, she filled the bathtub with cold water and sat in the bathtub to soak.
After soaking in the cold water for a long time, Anhao almost collapsed. She barely managed to hold on to her last bit of consciousness and climbed out of the bathtub. She took off the clothes that were even more unable to cover her body after soaking in the water and threw them on the ground. She grabbed the towel and bathrobe and wrapped herself completely. In the end, she leaned against the wall in the bathroom and could barely stand still. She did not even have the strength to walk out.
After a long time, she barely managed to walk out of the bathroom. She staggered and could only use her hands to support herself against the wall. Her head was dizzy, and although the heat on her body had mostly dissipated, she still felt uncomfortable.
She forced herself to sit by the coffee table and pour herself a glass of water, but her hands were shaking so much that she couldn’t even hold the glass. Just as she was about to raise the cup to her mouth, her hand suddenly trembled and the cup fell to the ground. The full cup of water spilled onto the carpet under her feet.
Anhao froze. She had been soaking in the cold water for too long, and now she had a headache. The feeling of alternating between hot and cold was worse than death. She closed her eyes and curled up on the sofa, hugging herself tightly with both hands. She closed her eyes and wanted to rest for a while.
However, when she closed her eyes, all she could see was Zuo Hancheng’s indifferent glance at her when he walked in.
Would Zuo Hancheng come back and strangle her to death?
Anhao curled up on the sofa and had a dream. In her dream, Zuo Hancheng rushed in angrily and questioned her why she had come out to drink with him, why she had no self-respect, and why she had left with Gu Tianming. He was so angry that he strangled her neck and cursed her.
Anhao woke up in shock. She opened her sweaty eyes and looked around. She raised her hand and touched her neck before letting out a sigh of relief.
She turned to look at the time and realized that it had been less than an hour since she fell asleep. She had just fallen asleep, and she had already had such a nightmare. It was better for her not to fall asleep again. No matter how angry Zuo Hancheng was today, she would just accept it one by one. She would not die anyway.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside the door. At the same time, she heard the voice of the waitress who had sent her up.
“Mr. Zuo, Miss Gu has been in her room for more than an hour. She should be asleep by now.”
There was no response from Zuo Hancheng outside. The only thing that could be heard was the footsteps of the waitress as she turned around and walked away.
Although she did not hear Zuo Hancheng’s footsteps, Anhao instinctively turned to look at the door and felt that he was standing outside the door.
He had just comforted himself, but now his heart was on tenterhooks again. The hand hidden in the sleeve of the bathrobe quietly clenched into a fist and placed it on his heart. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The sound of the door being unlocked came from the door, followed by familiar footsteps approaching the sofa where she was.
Anhao’s eyes were tightly shut and her hand was tightly placed on her chest. Her body was stiff on the sofa and did not move.
Just as she felt that Zuo Hancheng’s gaze was on her, she tried her best to calm herself down so that he would not see that she was pretending to be asleep. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not calm herself down.
Being stared at by Zuo Hancheng like that, she felt as if thousands of holes were about to appear on her body.
Just as Anhao was about to give up and open her eyes, she suddenly felt a warmth on her body. A blanket that came out of nowhere covered her body.
She opened her eyes immediately and saw Zuo Hancheng covering her with the blanket. At the same time, he tucked the two corners of the blanket beside her to prevent it from slipping off her body.
This gentle and patient action made her, who was already prepared to endure his fury, instantly collapse. Anhao, who had been very stubborn in her heart, instantly had her eyes turn red.
She looked at him with red eyes and choked as she whispered, “Why didn’t you scold me?”
Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He was not surprised when she opened her eyes. He had obviously seen through her pretense but he did not intend to expose her.
Faced with Anhao’s question, Zuo Hancheng sat down on the sofa beside her. He did not look at her, but looked calmly at the clothes that she had thrown at the bathroom door.
Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Anhao was truly flustered. This made her feel even less grounded than letting him scold her. She quickly sat up and raised her small hand to gently tug at his shirt sleeve.”Are you very angry?” Zuo Hancheng still did not respond.
Anhao raised both of her hands to hug his arms.””Aren’t you angry at me?”
“How can I not be angry?” Finally, Zuo Hancheng replied to her and turned to look at her.
The moment he turned around, she could clearly see the coldness and anger hidden in his eyes at such a close distance, but he suppressed them very well.
Hearing that he was really angry, Anhao’s hand trembled.””Then why didn’t you scold me? Why aren’t you talking about me?”
Zuo Hancheng stared at her for a long time and said in a light and cold voice,””Because you are afraid.”
Anhao didn’t move. She only looked up and met his calm black eyes. In his eyes that hid his anger, she saw the heartache and pity that grew.
She had thought of thousands of possible outcomes after Zuo Hancheng came to this room, but she never expected it to be like this.
He was indeed angry, but because she was afraid, he chose to endure and give up on anger and punishment.
Anhao didn’t want to cry at first. After all, when she chose to leave with Gu Tianming today, she knew that no matter what the outcome and price would be, it was her own choice, even if she might become people from two different worlds from Zuo Hancheng.
However, Zuo Hancheng had come. He had appeared at the right time and brought her out of her misery like a divine weapon that had descended from the heavens. She had not been forced to separate from him.
Anhao heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was really afraid of facing his anger and sarcasm.
However, he only sat on the same sofa as her and covered her with the blanket. He said that it was because she was afraid..
