Chapter 123- Back to the real world (13)

“…..”

Gu Anran sat on the sofa, opposite of a serious-looking middle-aged man. Behind his chair was two big tall bodyguards dressed in all black. How did things turn out like this?

Early this morning, Gu Anran was woken up by Mu Qingli. At first she wanted to wear a formal suit or something. After all, the first impression is the most important! However, Mu Qingli said that her parents didn’t care about these small details and so Gu Anran came to the Mu Family’s residence wearing jeans and a light T-shirt.

Then they drove for over an hour before ending up on a mountain road. Gu Anran then asked suspiciously,

“Your home is on a mountain? Your family sure likes quiet places a lot.”

“Huh? No, this entire mountain belongs to my family.” Mu Qinglin smiled as she turned the steering wheel.

“….!!!!!” My god, an entire mountain! No wonder there aren’t any cars on this road! So it turns out to be private property!

When they reached the middle of the mountain, a towering wall appeared and then they drove around the wall for nearly 20 minutes…just how big is her house?!!! Gu Anran stared at the endless wall in front of her and once again marveled at how rich Mu Qingli’s family is.

Finally they arrived at the entrance, and after some guards searched their car, they finally entered the residence. The scenery inside was simply beautiful, with one villa after another standing next to each other. There were trees, flowers, and even artificially made hills. There were many people walking around and cars driving inside the area.

This is not a house, but simply a small country! Gu Anran’s mouth hung open at the sight.

They then stopped in front of one of the villas.

“This villa belongs to me, and that one belongs to my parents.” Mu Qingli pointed to a big red villa not too far away.

“Once I park the car, we can go in together.”

“En…en….” Gu Anran watched as Mu Qingli drove the car around the corner. It seems that the garage is behind….everything is so….big!! She got out in the front as Mu Qingli drove into the garage to park the car.

Jiiiii! A car suddenly parked beside Gu Anran. She backed up a few steps, thinking that the other was about to open the door and get out, unexpectedly, two men in black got out, grabbed her, and then stuffed her into the car. Then they quickly drove off….

And that lead to her coming face to face with this serious-looking middle-aged man…..

“You are Gu Anran?” The middle-aged man finally opened his mouth, and his low voice made people instantly feel awe at his majestic tone, but Gu Anran did not feel awe. Instead, she was thinking, no parents would just kidnap someone when they meet them for the first time, right?! Is this person crazy???

“Yes….” Gu Anran didn’t have any good feelings about being kidnapped the first time they met and simply nodded perfunctorily.

However, the middle-aged man was obviously stunned, as if he never expected Gu Anran to speak with such a casual attitude towards him.

“You are Qingli’s father, right? You took a lot of trouble just to kidnap me. What is your goal? Gu Anran leaned back against the sofa and said casually.

“Since you know that I am Qingli’s father, then you should….” Before he could finish, Gu Anran interrupted him.

“Talk to you more politely? Or perhaps fawn and flatter over you? Sorry, but I do not show a good face to those who give me a bad first impression! Politeness is reserved only for reasonable people, don’t you agree?” Gu Anran played with her hand and raised her eyebrows.

The middle-aged man stared at Gu Anran. His aura that’s been cultivated from staying at the top would have long caused an ordinary person to cower in fear! But Gu Anran is a professional nerd! She doesn’t understand any of this! What pressure? What aura? She had already grown used to the auras of many powerful people in the game worlds!

“Good! Good! You are worthy of being the woman my daughter likes!” The serious look on the middle-aged man’s face disappeared, and he clapped his hands heartily as he chuckled good-naturedly. The speed at which he changed his attitude surprised even Gu Anran.

“Father….” A voice sounded out, This was Mu Qingli’s voice. Although it sounded gentle on the surface, it could not conceal the eerie undertone within it. It caused all four people in the room to tremble in fear.

“L-Little Li…ah…..” The middle-aged man swallowed nervously and said with a guilty conscience, “I-I just wanted to see my baby girl’s future wife!”

Hey. Gu Anran rolled her eyes in disgust. Such a big and powerful man, even if he looks handsome and strong, he still pretends to be pitiful and wronged. He’s no longer a fresh-faced youth, yet he even used a cutesy hand gesture that only idols used!

Not long did Gu Anran feel this way, even the two men in black stood there dumbfoundedly and black lines appeared on Mu Qingli’s face. Gu Anran had a feeling she was ashamed of her father’s behavior.

“You two can leave now.” Mu Qingli waved.

“Understood.” The two men in black saluted and then immediately walked out.

Gu Anran looked at the middle-aged man in front of him… No, it’s better to call him Father Mu. With a look of consternation on his face, Gu Anran had a feeling that Father Mu would have stretched out an arm and said,

Don’t leave me! Don’t leave! If you want to leave, take me with you!

…..and such a scene would play out.

“Then…Father, can you explain your kidnapping? Do you know how anxious I felt when I walked out and didn’t see Anran?” Mu Qingli gritted his teeth, parked the car and exited the garage, but Anran had suddenly disappeared. She looked inside and outside, but she didn’t find anyone. She thought that An Ran had disappeared again and that the days before were just a dream after all. When she thought of the anxious mood she was in just now, if she didn’t want to maintain the image in front of An Ran, she would have rushed forward to bite off Father Mu’s finger a long time ago!

“Little Li, ah! Daddy just…just wanted to test the person….you’ve searched for so long. I wanted to see what kind of person she is….” Father Mu explained with an aggrieved expression.

“You….” Even if she was angry beyond compare, she couldn’t say anything. She knew this was her father’s way of showing he cared for her.

“Haha, Little Li, don’t be like that. Your Father has always been this foolish.” A gentle voice sounded out, with the same softness as Mu Qingli’s voice yet more mature. She lifted her head to see a woman who looked very similar to Mu Qingli. She had maintained her figure and skin very well as she looked only about 30 years old. Her youthful beauty made Gu Anran almost think that she was Mu Qingli’s older sister!

“Is my mother good-looking?”

“En, very good!” Gu Anran nodded absentmindedly, and then suddenly felt a pain in her cheeks, “Uwahhhhh…it hurts!”

“You can only look at me like that! Understood?” Mu Qingli said with jealousy.

“Yes, yes, please let go!” Gu Anran touched her red cheeks with a sad expression. She only looked a little bit….did she deserve this?

“Aiya~ Aiya~ How can our Little Li be like this?” Mother Mu’s eyes were full of smiles. After all, this was the first time she has seen her little daughter jealous! Such a novel experience.

“Mom!” Mu Qingli looked at her mother helplessly.

“Alright, alright. Anran, is it? I’ll just call you Little Ran then!” Mother Mu smiled beside Father Mu.

“Yes…that is fine, Auntie.” Gu Anran hurriedly sat down seriously.

Meanwhile, Father Mu Stared at her with widened eyes. This difference in treatment is too big! This is differential treatment!

“Auntie? You’re going to call me Auntie at this point? I heard you two are already in a relationship, right?” Mother Mu covered her mouth, her eyes filled with a teasing light.

“T-This…” Gu Anran clenched her hands together, rubbing them nervously before spitting out two words, “M-Mother-in-law.”

“En, good girl! Come, let’s have lunch! Today is the day to celebrate your arrival!” Mother Mu clapped her hands and laughed.

“Oh….oh….” Gu Anran watched blankly as Mother Mu dragged Father Mu out of the room.

“Anran, did they scare you? I’m sorry, my Dad has quite the personality.” Mu Qingli pulled Gu Anran into a hug.

“It’s nothing…he’s just a little childish….” Gu Anran gave her judgement.

“Hmph, I will definitely find a chance to teach that guy some common sense.” Mu Qingli snorted coldly.

Pffff…should one talk about their father like that? Gu Anran was speechless.

“Let’s go eat lunch. After lunch, I will take you on a tour around the place. There is a surprise for you in the evening.”

After eating the sumptuous meal prepared by Father and Mother Mu, Gu Anran followed Mu Qingli around the entire residence. Of course, they didn’t actually walk around the place and instead they drove. They’ll die from exhaustion if they walk everywhere.

After driving around, looking at the buildings and meeting some of Mu Qingli’s relatives. They spent an entire afternoon meeting people and the sun set by the time they finished, which just showed how big the Mu Family is.

“Eh? Are we not heading back for dinner?” Gu Anran asked in confusion as they continued onward.

“We will eat, but not here.”

Mu Qingli took Gu Anran to a small viewing platform. There was food set up on it and it seems Mu Qingli had ordered people to prepare it in advance.

“What are we doing here?” Gu Anran asked with surprise.

“Over here.” Mu Qingli grabbed Gu Anran’s hand and they turned a corner.

In front of them is the beginning of a sunset, a beautiful orange-red sun, slowly setting over the horizon. The orange sunlight awashed the land in its colors, and although the beautiful colors were slowly fading, it did not diminish the exciting sight in front of them.

“How beautiful!” Gu Anran praised wholeheartedly.

“This is usually a sight that only those from our Mu Family can see. Anran, do you like it?” Mu Qingli hugged Gu Anran from behind as they sat down on the chair that was prepared. The chair’s height was perfect for viewing the sunset.

“Yes….”

“I hope I can live here with you, watch the stars, admire the moon, and more, together, forever, with you. For the rest of my life. Would you like that? Anran?” Mu Qingli whispered into Gu Anran’s ear.

“I would….” Gu Anran smiled, a smile full of relief, joy, and happiness.

“I love you.” Mu Qingli said and kissed Gu Anran’s lips, even until the sun had set, they still did not pull away from each other.
