Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Mo Anna’s Inner Thoughts

"Yo-ho!"

Xie Anfeng was amused. This was the first time in his life that he had been challenged, and it felt novel.

"Kid, that’s something I should be saying, right? Anna is my fiancée; what’s it to you?"

"Sister Mo is my colleague and my friend. It’s my responsibility to protect her from being bullied by others."

Xiao Zheng was very bold, draping his arm over Mo Anna’s fragrant shoulders with practiced ease.

Mo Anna gave him a complicated look and said coldly, "Supervisor Xiao, please leave. He is the young master of the Xie Family; you can’t afford to provoke him."

Damn it.

She actually called me Supervisor Xiao. Before, it was always Xiao or Director Xiao; this isn’t normal.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t figure out her thoughts and said discontentedly, "Xie Family? As far as I’m concerned, it’s nothing but dog crap!"

"You’ve got some nerve, kid, daring to insult the Xie Family!"

Xie Anfeng was furious and waved at his bodyguards, shouting, "All of you, get him, cripple the kid."

"Yes, Young Master!"

His six bodyguards, all of them skilled martial artists, roared in unison and surged towards Xiao Zheng, eyes blazing with aggression.

"Stop!" Mo Anna, anxious, raised her hand to stop them.

At her commanding shout, the bodyguards hesitated, caught in a dilemma because Mo Anna was to be their future lady; if they offended her now, they would regret it later.

"What’s all this dithering about?" Xie Anfeng, out of patience, issued a deadly command to his bodyguards, "Knock Anna sister out, then beat this Xiao last name to a pulp for Laozi."

"Yes!"

Without further concerns, the bodyguards charged straight at her, intending to knock Mo Anna unconscious.

At this critical moment, Xiao Zheng pulled Mo Anna behind him and laughed arrogantly, "Just you shrimp soldiers and crab generals, daring to strut before Laozi? Looking for death!"

"Bang!"

Xiao Zheng instantly lashed out with his foot, sending one bodyguard flying into the crowd, unable to get up again.

In an instant, the whole bar was thrown into chaos, with patrons panicking and fleeing, while the daring ones peeked from the sides.

"Huh?"

A hired muscle in the place was briefly stunned, seeing the menacing Xiao Zheng but chose not to act, while his underlings were impatient.

"Boss, someone’s smashing up the place, let’s get him!"

"Get the hell out of here, just pretend you didn’t see anything."

The hired muscle kicked a few of his underlings frustratingly and scolded.

"What do you mean, boss?"

The underlings rubbed their butts, confused and bewildered.

"That’s the boss of our boss’s boss! Get it?"

With a mysterious smile, the hired muscle whispered, pointing at Xiao Zheng.

Damn, the boss of our boss’s boss, how big is that?

The underlings couldn’t fathom, looking at Xiao Zheng with bewildered eyes, for his actions were too cool.

True to form, Xiao Zheng had every bodyguard sprawled on the ground effortlessly.

"Ouch, ouch, Young Master save me!"

The bodyguards lay there, wailing nonstop, as they had all sustained heavy injuries.

Xie Anfeng was shocked by the scene, his complexion ashen, in disbelief.

"You dare to beat my men?"

"I already have, what are you gonna do?"

Xiao Zheng sneered at him, then took Mo Anna’s hand and said gently, "Sister Mo, let’s go."

"Stop right there!"

Xie Anfeng’s eyes were filled with malice as he yelled at Mo Anna, "Anna, listen to me. If you don’t come back with me, I will not let the Mo Family off the hook."

"Hmm?"

Mo Anna clearly hesitated for a moment, a shadow of sorrow flitted through her eyes, but it was fleeting as she replied indifferently, "Don’t worry, I know what to do."

Having said that, she ignored the malicious gaze of Xie Anfeng and let Xiao Zheng lead her out of the bar.

"Bang!"

Xie Anfeng watched Mo Anna leave with wide eyes, rage consuming him, and he struck the bar with his palm, shattering the marble top and filling the air with dust.

He knew that he was no match for Xiao Zheng, the superiority was clear from the moment Xiao Zheng appeared.

Very well, Xiao Zheng, is it? Daring to oppose the Xie Family, we’ll see about that.

With Laozi’s unrivaled abilities, can’t I handle a mere Mo Anna? Ridiculous!

With that thought, he pulled out his phone, sent a text message, and laughed arrogantly, which was quite unsettling.

...

Seaside dam.

The night breeze tousled Mo Anna’s hair, somewhat messy, as her tears fell silently and without contention.

Xiao Zheng sat beside her, not speaking.

Ever since she started in the sales department of Qianqiu Group, he had never seen Mo Anna cry. This was the first time.

She was an exceptionally strong woman, one who never revealed her vulnerabilities, seemingly so resilient; he had not expected her to be so fragile inside.

Having known her for so long, he still didn’t know her true identity.

"Got a cigarette? Give me one!"

Mo Anna suddenly looked up at Xiao Zheng, her eyes filled with deep concern, lost in it without knowing.

"Snap!"

Xiao Zheng, without affectation, immediately lit a cigarette and placed it between her fiery red lips.

"Sister Mo, can you now tell me about your situation?"

"Sigh!"

Mo Anna’s delicate fingers elegantly held the cigarette, taking a deep drag, and then leaned on Xiao Zheng’s shoulder.

As the smoke wafted, Xiao Zheng’s face was misty, creating a somewhat ethereal beauty.

Xiao Zheng gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders, lost in the dreamlike atmosphere.

As her lips moved and her eyes sparkled with life, pressing tightly against him, her allure was mixed with seduction, intensely frustrating.

Amidst the swirling smoke, Mo Anna’s words were tinged with melancholy.

"Ah Zheng, at this point, there’s nothing left for your sister to hide. I am from the northern Mo Family, and the Xie Anfeng you offended today is the young master of the Xie Family. The Xie and Mo families have been friends for generations, and my marriage arrangement with Xie Anfeng was set many years ago, beyond change."

You could hear the faint sorrow in her words.

Xiao Zheng was captivated by her, perhaps in that moment, she was showing her true self as a woman, capable of fear, seeking comfort.

Mo Anna gently patted Xiao Zheng’s face, her eyes filled with sisterly care and a lover’s inexhaustible tenderness.

"I came to Zhonghai to avoid the marriage, but I didn’t expect that even though I hid so carefully, Xie Anfeng would still find me. It’s true that I grew up with Xie Anfeng, but in my heart, he is only a childhood playmate, a friend nothing more.

I don’t like arranged marriages, I don’t have that kind of romantic feeling for Xie Anfeng, not even the slightest affection."

The night breeze blew gently, causing Mo Anna to involuntarily shiver.

Xiao Zheng offered a gentle smile, took off his coat, and draped it over her, shielding her from the wind.

"Sister Mo, with me here, no one can force you!"

"Sigh..."

Mo Anna first smiled with relief, then sighed, frowning with a bittersweet laugh, "Silly little brother, your sister is content with your sentiment."

She was well aware of the enormity of the Xie Family, not one that ordinary people could provoke.

This man’s words were but things to hear, not to take to heart.

Looking at Xiao Zheng’s handsome profile, Mo Anna watched intently, as if she would no longer have the chance to gaze upon it in the future.

A deep despair washed over her heart.
