My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 506: No More

Of course, Knife Lee was no match against the good-looking actor.

Lee Duo’s men were all laughing and even Mu Qing was shaking his head, helplessly. Lee Duo, however, was kind of embarrassed. Only Knife Lee seemed to have no reaction towards what Zhao Anan said, as if he were used to the sneering.

The other people on the plane did not know Knife Lee well, and were surprised by his calm behaviour.

Zhao Anan, however, was not surprised at all. She would have been shocked if Knife Lee had shown any reaction.

She had spent half a year with him and knew that he was no different from a large piece of wood. No matter how much she teased or irritated him, he would have no reaction. All he would do was, throw a cold glance at her without uttering a word.

He was a silent man.

But Zhao Anan found the name Knife Lee too amusing. She even pulled his ears and arms.

But Knife Lee was all muscle, and Zhao Anan felt her hands ache after pinching him for a while. He, however, had no reaction but stared at Zhao Anan, calmly!

Mu Qing could not stand it any more. He pulled her back and made her sit down in the chair. “Stop messing around. Knife Lee might have irritated you before, but he truly had done nothing harmful to you. Also, Lee Duo has already taken revenge for you. He was severely beaten up. He is now Master Jing’s man, so you just sit still.”

What was this woman doing? Her boyfriend was sitting next to her, and she went to Knife Lee, touching and pinching him. Knife Lee was a man! Luckily, Mu Qing was not a jealous man like Jing Yichen, who would have thrown that man off the plane if Shangguan Ning ever did the same thing to another man.

Zhao Anan was unconvinced. “He should not be forgiven so easily. I was trapped by him for half a year. I could not do anything before, but now I can! I will take revenge, definitely!”

Mu Qing threw a look at Knife Lee who was sitting in silence. He found this man to be unusual.

He had asked Lee Duo and got to know that Knife Lee was interested in women. But he had a strong sense of self-control and his own moral baseline. That is why Zhao Anan was able to spend half a year with him without being harmed.

During that entire time, Zhao Anan was trapped in that small room and Knife Lee did not go anywhere, because he had to guard her.

Any other man would have shown desire for such a woman after spending day and night with her for so long, but Knife Lee had kept himself under check.

Mu Qing felt that it was lucky that Knife Lee had been the guard, otherwise Zhao Anan might not have stayed intact if it had been anyone else.

He wondered where Jing Yiran had found a man like Knife Lee. According to Lee Duo, Knife Lee was not Jing Yiran’s man, but someone Jing Yiran hired for this job specifically. He got paid by Jing Yiran, so he had to work for him. He had not been Jing Yiran’s full time employee.

Now when Knife Lee was taken over by Jing Yichen, he was an asset to Jing Yichen’s force.

During the long flight from the UK to A City, Zhao Anan kept provoking Knife Lee but he stayed silent and did not get furious. He did not apologize to her but stayed so quiet that Zhao Anan lost interest in picking on him.

Zhao Anan got so excited when she came back to A City that she forgot all about Knife Lee.

When she heard that Zhao Zhao was taking care of Jing Rui at Shangguan Ning’s home, she rushed to Landscape Compound, directly.

Jing Yichen knew that Mu Qing was bringing Zhao Anan home, but he purposefully hid it and aimed to give his wife a surprise.

Sure enough, Shangguan Ning got so shocked at the sight of Zhao Anan when she showed up at the door that she stepped forward and hugged her disbelief. She smiled and cried simultaneously, “Anan, here you are, I missed you so much!”

Zhao Zhao, who saw her daughter return home safely, wiped her tears quietly. But she had no idea what Zhao Anan experienced during this time. Jing Yichen had simply told her that she was hiding from Mu Qing and they failed to find her before this. Since Zhao Zhao found her daughter intact, she was not as excited as Shangguan Ning.

Furthermore, Zhao Zhao was used to Zhao Anan being away from home for so long.

Zhao Anan did not talk with her own mother so much. She wiped Shangguan Ning’s tears and said, “Oh, my dearest Sister-in-law, don’t cry! You have just given birth. I can’t pay back your beautiful eyes if they are hurt because of me. I can’t replace them with mine, and even if I wanted to, the size would not match. Yours are much bigger than mine!”

Shangguan Ning’s sadness was brushed away by Zhao Anan’s words.

What was she talking about?

Shangguan Ning pinched Zhao Anan’s face. She looked a bit funny with both tears and a smile on the face.

“You ruthless woman! You scared us all when you ran away.”

Zhao Anan knew that she had made a mistake. So she let herself get pinched by Shangguan Ning.

“Alright, alright, I made a mistake. A huge mistake! I will not do anything like this in the future any more, alright? I am sorry to have worried you.”

Shangguan Ning forced her to make a vow. “I have your word, now. No more running away! You must tell me wherever you go. Make a promise now!”

Zhao Anan replied helplessly, “Alright, alright, I will make a promise. Wherever I go next time, I will tell you, my Sister-in-law. And I will never run away from home any more, alright? What a nosy woman!”

Satisfied, Shangguan Ning laughed and took her into her arms. “This will do!”

Mu Qing got both surprised and happy when he heard Zhao Anan promising not to make a mess in the future. He had been prepared to run away with Zhao Anan but did not expect that Zhao Anan intended to settle down!

This was the best news he had heard in recent times.

Zhao Zhao was also glad. She felt that her daughter had changed and became slightly obedient with a friend like Shangguan Ning around. Zhao Anan would never have cared about what others were thinking, earlier. Only Shangguan Ning could stop her from doing anything stupid. Even she as a mother did not have this ability.

Jing Yichen didn’t have much reaction towards the promise. As long as Shangguan Ning was not running away, he was alright with everything else.

He thought that an unruly woman like Zhao Anan would have suffered a great deal to finally realise that the best place in the world was home.
