Anhao had already gone back to her room for an hour and had yet to come out.
Her room was very quiet, so quiet that it was as if no one was inside.
Zuo Hancheng stood outside the door until he heard footsteps coming from inside. The door opened at the same time and Anhao walked out quickly.
As soon as she walked out, she saw Zuo Hancheng. Anhao paused for a moment and quickly turned around to wipe her eyes with her hands. Then, she put on a smile and turned around. However, when she turned around, Zuo Hancheng did not move. It was as if he had been outside the door for the past two hours, accompanying her and waiting for her.
âDidnât Lin Qing bring some data from the company that you need to deal with this morning? Donât you have to go to the study?â Anhao smiled as she spoke, then returned the folder to him.ââIâm done.â
Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to take it, but when he took it, he noticed that Anhaoâs hand was holding the document bag for a moment. She did not let go immediately.
âHavenât you finished reading it?â he asked.
Anhao quickly let go of her hand, then smiled.ââI was too engrossed in reading just now. Iâm a little sleepy. Iâll go wash my face.â
As she spoke, she was about to walk past Zuo Hancheng.
However, her arm suddenly tightened. Zuo Hancheng grabbed her arm and pulled her back. At the same time, he turned to look at her reddened eyes.
âDid you cry?â
Anhao took a deep breath and continued smiling.âNo, I havenât.â
However, she did not dare to look at him directly. She only turned her head slightly.âPerhaps it was because she was too shocked to see the truth. Her eyes kept staring back and forth without blinking, so she looked a little red.â
It was not that Zuo Hancheng had not seen her ability to lie through her teeth. Usually, he would either let her fool him or tease her. However, at this moment, he held her arm tightly and did not let go, nor did he allow her to turn around and run away.
Anhao couldnât walk away at all. She could only turn to look at him.âI want to wash my faceâ¦â
âThereâs no need to hide and cry all the time. Youâve never cried in front of me for so long. Anhao, am I the person you trust the most?â
Anhao sniffled and raised her hand to push his hand away, but Zuo Hancheng held onto her tightly.
She had no choice but to stand there stiffly.âActually, thereâs nothing to cry about. Itâs just that Iâm too surprised. Reallyâ¦Itâs just that Iâm too surprisedâ¦â
She laughed as she spoke.â I shed a few tears because I was surprised. I didnât cry for long. Thereâs no need for me to run out and let you see me. Iâll just go wash my face.ââ
However, Zuo Hancheng refused to let go of her. Anhaoâs eyes gradually became moist again. She held back her tears and looked up at him.âZuo Hancheng! No one is as unreasonable as you! You clearly know why Iâm anxious, but you only let me know the truth now! You clearly know that Iâm feeling bad and only came out after comforting myself with great difficulty. Do you still want to force me to cry or something?â
âGet well soon and go to America. Iâll accompany you to New York to settle down.â
Anhaoâs heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and her tears were instantly forced back.ââNo!â
âNo?â Zuo Hancheng frowned. Do you want to lie to yourself forever?â
She finally understood why Zuo Hancheng did not tell her about her past.
As expected, even if she knew, she would not be able to return to the place where she truly belonged.
Even if she had long suspected the relationship between An Ping and the An family, even if she knew the real truth now, it seemed that there was no difference.
She was still the abandoned child, the child who was hidden in a corner and not allowed to be discovered by outsidersâ¦
âGoing to the United States was one of my conditions. As for the Andersons, weâll discuss it again after we arrive in the United States. Everything has to be done. Since youâve already decided to start, you canât hide anymore.â
Anhao lowered her head and didnât say anything. She only curled her lips slightly, but her smile was a little self-deprecating.
Zuo Hancheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm and pulled her towards him. Anhao staggered and stood in front of him. She looked up and saw the protective look in his eyes.âWith me around, no one can hide your identity forever. No matter how high the threshold of the An family is, you should never be rejected.â
âActually, I just need to know who I am and who my mother is. I donât want to look for those people, and I donât have to acknowledge my ancestors. After all, Iâve long been used to this homeless life for the past twenty years.ââSo, thereâs really no need to go through so much troubleâ¦â Anhao said softly.
âIf you know your motherâs identity, then do you know why she hid you? Do you know who your biological father is? You donât want to investigate anymore? Wasnât he willing to hand over all his savings just to find out his background? Now, he was starting to be afraid and unwilling to face it again?
Hmm?â
As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, Anhaoâs breathing stopped.
Thatâs right. Zuo Hancheng had already found out about Anpingâs relationship with the An family, but it seemed that Zuo Hancheng had not found out about her biological father. To be able to find out about Anpingâs hidden identity and the inside story of her faking her death in the past was indeed beyond her imagination.
But her biological fatherâ¦
Also, she really did not understand why Anping had sent her to the Gu family back then and even faked her death.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âPerhaps the Andersons âbackground is too complicated. My mother, sheâ¦â
âAre you sure you donât want to go back and ask her yourself how she could bear to leave you behind in the Gu family eight years ago?â
Anhao did not say anything, so Zuo Hancheng pulled her hand and pressed her head into his arms. Anhaoâs emotions were like a fierce gust of wind blowing in front of her chest, and she could not find the right direction for a moment.
The emotions that he had tried hard to calm down were filled with countless waves.
She closed her eyes and tried to calm down. Her nose was filled with Zuo Hanchengâs unique scent and his body temperature. Anhao leaned her head against his chest obediently and did not try to break free.
Now, she no longer had the strength to break free. She was indeed too tired. Her body and mind needed a harbor that she trusted the most to let her buffer and rest.
However, the words on the documents about her background kept flashing in front of her.
She really could not believe that her mother had faked her death back then. Anping was actually still alive. In these eight years, she had lived in a place she did not know.
Anhao leaned all her strength on Zuo Hanchengâs body and let him hug her. She said with a sour nose,ââZuo Hancheng, Iâm hungryâ¦â
âI didnât eat anything when I went out with you at noon. I forgot about it when I came back just now. Iâm so hungry nowâ¦â
Zuo Hancheng sighed and patted her back gently.ââWait.â
