The first reaction Mu Anhan had was just like this.
He was a man with an extremely strong sense of control, and he had to have a firm grip on the people and things around him.
So, of course, her little scheme to have Zhou Jingyi and Feng Siling fight with Tom couldn’t escape his eyes.
"I will try my best," Mu Anhan said stubbornly.
Those who had hurt her or wanted to hurt her, she wouldn’t let them go.
Gu Xiaozhan looked at her slightly reddened eyes, "Trying hard isn’t just something you say! Today, you encountered just three unremarkable people. What about the day when you meet a real expert, what then with your half-baked skills?"
As expected, he knew everything!
"Even if they are more skilled than them, I can handle it." Mu Anhan had learned some Ancient Martial Arts, so even if she couldn’t win, she could run fast.
Gu Xiaozhan snorted lightly, "How come you didn’t beat me?"
Mu Anhan stared at him like he was an alien, "Please, who are you? You’re Mr. Gu, feared by your enemies. Can I beat you? Isn’t that just daydreaming? Besides..."
If she could beat him, would she still be "bullied" by him? Would she obediently listen to him?
"Besides what?" Gu Xiaozhan saw her eyes darting around.
Mu Anhan immediately smiled, "Besides, it’s not like I’d easily run into someone of your level."
"Not running into one doesn’t mean there aren’t any," Gu Xiaozhan said in a deep voice, "If you want to grow independently and face things on your own, how can I feel assured without the ability to protect yourself?"
Mu Anhan was trying hard to digest his words, which meant, was he willing to let go?
Was he finally allowing her to work or do something else?
The real purpose of training her in boxing was to make her stronger?
It was as if Mu Anhan saw a ray of hope, and she immediately sweet-talked him, wrapping her sore arms around his neck, "Honey, can I try hard again tomorrow? I’m really tired today..."
Her change in attitude made Gu Xiaozhan’s expression a bit less stern.
Seeing that his mood was improving, she immediately launched a wave of tenderness, "I promise to practice boxing diligently tomorrow and to listen to you. If you’re not satisfied, you can punish me anytime..."
"Remember what you said!" Gu Xiaozhan picked her up and walked back toward their residence.
"I will remember." Mu Anhan nodded immediately and rested her small head on his shoulder.
Once back in the bedroom, Mu Anhan collapsed on the sofa, not moving. How could she endure such intense training?
She sneaked a peek at Gu Xiaozhan, whose expression was still not great. Why did he still look unhappy?
Thump, thump, thump!
The butler, Zhu Chen, knocked on the door, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Feng Ruixiang is here!"
Mu Anhan knew this was the son-in-law of the main branch of the Gu Family and Feng Siling’s father, likely coming about Feng Siling getting taken by the police!
"I’ll come downstairs later," Gu Xiaozhan responded.
"Yes!" Zhu Chen left immediately.
After Gu Xiaozhan threw Mu Anhan into a bathtub filled with warm water, he took off his workout clothes, took a cold shower, and strode out.
Soaking in the bathtub, Mu Anhan’s head was filled with big question marks.
Why was he angry? Was he frustrated?
But as long as he said something, no matter how tired, she wouldn’t refuse him!
Thinking of this, Mu Anhan’s face started to feel hot. She was really getting thicker skin now!
