Anhao could only smile awkwardly as she looked at him.
“I didn’t know that you love me so much that you would actually be searching for news about me when I’m not at home.”
Zuo Hancheng had an inexplicable expression on his face.
Gu Anhao smirked before she replied, “You are too narcissistic! Even if all the women in the world long for you, I will not be thinking about you!”
Zuo Hancheng glanced at her before he answered, “That’s right. I seriously overestimated you. You are not a woman yet.”
Gu Anhao closed her eyes as she clenched her fists tightly together. After that, she opened her eyes before she eyed him suspiciously before she turned around to look at the webpage again. “Why isn’t there any news about you getting caught by the reporters and paparazzi at Deways Hotel last night? Did you pay them off already?”
Zuo Hancheng did not reply to her question as he merely glanced at the laptop screen. He turned away from the laptop screen when he saw that the news that was in the headlines was still regarding the actress who had attempted to commit suicide by jumping of a building. The media was also offering ten million yuan to anyone who would be able to provide any inside information about Zuo Hancheng.
“Why must it be posted online?” Zuo Hancheng asked indifferently. The expression on his face was very cold at this time.
Gu Anhao choked after being questioned. “Didn’t you see that the media has already posted a cash reward for anyone who can provide any inside information about you? The media is desperately trying to get more information on the president of Shengling Group! Do you know that they are offering a reward of ten million yuan?”
“There are so many entertainment media who are vying to obtain information about you and it was so difficult for them to finally capture some pictures of you and your underground girlfriend! Why didn’t they publish the news online then? Why did they choose to keep this information to themselves? Who would want to miss out on such a huge cash reward?”
Zuo Hancheng did not reply and he simply stared at Gu Anhao as he listened to her.
Anhao was thinking that he really did not know about the reward that was posted on the webpage earlier. Therefore, she was starting to suspect that he was oblivious to all the things going on in the media. She turned around to look at him, ready to tell him all about the cash reward.
Zuo Hancheng then suddenly asked, “When did I ever say that I have a so-called underground girlfriend?”
Anhao was stunned and she stared at him with a blank expression on her face. “Well, I am referring to the girl who was standing beside you when the both of you were walking out of the elevator last night. She is tall, beautiful and she has a very nice figure. She looked very noble and arrogant, and she even had your suit jacket over her shoulders! Who is she if she is not your girlfriend? Could it be… that she already has an upgraded status and she is now your secret mistress?”
Zuo Hancheng’s brows were raised as he stared at Gu Anhao. “Gu Anhao! Are you sure that you are just a nineteen-year-old high school student?”
Anhao blinked as she looked at the dissatisfied expression on Zuo Hancheng’s face.
“How is my age related to this matter in any way?”
“Secret mistress? Only you would think of something like that.”
“It’s always that way in those novels…” Anhao responded as she used her chin to point at the laptop on the table. “If you don’t believe me, you can look up any of those romance novels online.” Zuo Hancheng had zero intention of touching the laptop because he was obviously not interested in those kinds of novels at all.
“But you are right…” Anhao suddenly spoke again. “When that woman was standing next to you yesterday, I didn’t have the feeling that she was your girlfriend at all. Even though she was very shy and even though she looked happy to be photographed with you, she does not seem to be compatible with someone like you anyway.”
“…”
“You need someone who resembles an extra-large white lotus flower because you are the dignified president of Shengling Group. A fine lady next to the golden boy.”
“I think you would fit the description very well then.”
Anhao choked again before she retorted, “Who said that I look like a white lotus flower?”
“Every part of you resembles a white lotus flower.”
Anhao was definitely the top anti white lotus flower figure in A High. Therefore, after getting insulted by Zuo Hancheng, she stood up before she exploded immediately, “Do you need me to explain the definition of a white lotus flower to you? White lotus flower is also known as the goddess white lotus flower. They have a delicate and feminine appearance and also a kind and fragile heart that seems to be made out of glass. The goddess white lotus is very lucky because she is a kind-hearted and harmless person who would just break her own teeth and hold back even when she has been wronged!”
“They are always in tears and even if someone stabs them in the back, they would always be forgiving as long as the other party repents and apologizes to them.”
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?”
