CHAPTER 69 - Fearing His Displeasure

Gu Anning knocked on Gu Anxi's door, but it was very quiet inside.

If she didn't know that Gu Anxi hadn't gone out today, she would have thought that there was no one in the room.

"Ansi, open the door. I have something to tell you." Gu Anning patiently stood outside and knocked on the door, hoping that Gu Anxi would be able to open it. However, after knocking for a long time, there was still no response from inside the door. She lowered his head to look, the food that he got a servant to bring over was still at the door.

Gu Anning did not know if she was just giving up on eating because he had no appetite or if he was just protesting.

Soon, she knew the answer.

She knocked on the door for a long time, until her fingers were red. Gu Anxi did not say a word, as if there was no one in the room.

After she confirmed that Gu Anxi was really not one who would give orders when he opened the door, she decisively gave up on her plans to knock on the door again, told the servant to cook two of her favorite dishes for Gu Anxi, and when Gu Anxi wants to eat, she would put it in the microwave to heat it up and eat it anytime.

When Gu Zhiheng and Lin Mufan returned at night, when she went downstairs, he asked the servant, and the servant told his that Gu Anxi had not come out yet, and did not eat anything either.

Looks like Gu Anxi truly wanted to use this hunger strike to force Gu Zhiheng into submission, but he didn't know which one of the two would be more stubborn.

At dinner time, Gu Zhiheng asked, "Where's An Xi?"

Gu Anning sighed. He was afraid that tonight's dinner would not be peaceful again, so she said: "It's in the room upstairs."

Gu Zhiheng said to the servant at home: "Are you going up to get Second Miss to come down for dinner?"

"No need." Gu Anning shook his head at Gu Zhiheng and said: "It's useless. When I went downstairs earlier, I had already called out to her, but she just ignored me. She was in the middle of a hunger strike because of his affair with Shikai. The door that she knocked on all day today was not open, nor should it be opened. Now, even if he asked someone to call for his, she wouldn't come down. I've had the servants prepare her food, and if she gets hungry, he'll warm it up. "Dad, eat first. Don't worry about her for now."

Gu Anning was still a little angry about Gu Anxi's willful actions. However, no matter how much anger she had in his heart, it would never come out.

Gu Zhiheng also knew Gu Anxi's temper. Although he was worried that Gu Anxi would starve himself to death, he still sighed and said, "Then, let's eat first."

Even though Gu Anxi had already threatened Gu Zhiheng with a hunger strike, he still did not want to change his mind and refused to agree to the marriage between Gu Anxi and Gu Anxi.

Lin Mufan hadn't said anything the entire time. Right now, whatever he said didn't seem appropriate at all.

After the family quietly finished their dinner, Gu Anning was no longer in the mood to go out and eat. After working for the entire day, Lin Mufan was already tired. Gu Anning had already gone back to his room to rest.

Lin Mufan pushed the door and entered, placing a plate of pears on top of the bed.

"I don't think you can eat much tonight. You won't be able to eat enough even if I give you more food. So, eat some fruits before you go to sleep." Lin Mufan sat on the side of the bed and said to Gu Anning: "I placed a toothpick on the fruit, don't worry about it touching your hands."

Lin Mufan was very considerate, but she couldn't eat it.

Seemingly seeing that she wanted to reject his offer, Lin Mufan opened his mouth and said before she did, "I see that you're a little angry these past few days. Eat some snow pears to calm the flames, otherwise, pimples will grow out of your face in another two days."

Gu Anning glared at Lin Mufan snappily and said, "You really can't speak with your mouth full of dog teeth. You can be at ease because I have never had a pimple on my face before, so you must be worried."

Even though she said so, she still picked up the toothpick and stuck a pear in her mouth.

Lin Mufan laid down beside Gu Anning, stared at his face, and asked: "Are you worried about An Xi?"

"Yeah." Moreover, she looked at Lin Mufan, and knew that even if she wanted to hide it, she might not be able to. She ate her pear and said, "You also saw it, right now, neither my father nor An Xi is willing to compromise first, and now that An Xi is going to stop eating, it looks like it's just like a farce."

"It's useless if you're in a hurry." Lin Mufan said: "Since you are temporarily unable to solve this problem, then let us temporarily put it aside. Just look at how you are angering yourself, this matter will also not be able to be solved either."

Lin Mufan did not say anything to make her unhappy, but she had a ball of anger burning in her heart, so he said snappily, "Of course you're not in a hurry, An Xi is my sister, not your sister. If it's your little sister, you can't be in a hurry. "

Lin Mufan saw that Gu Anning was angry, and laughed helplessly: "You are accusing me wrongly if you say that, we are now husband and wife, so why do you have to part with mine. Isn't your family my family? Ansi is your sister, and of course he's my sister. "

Gu Anning had also realized that her earlier outburst had indeed been a bit unreasonable.

It was also because Lin Mufan had a good temper and was willing to be with her that he did not get angry at her.

"Sorry, I …" Gu Anning's face reddened. He wanted to apologize, but he was interrupted by Lin Mufan: "You don't have to apologize. I thought we had reached an agreement already, so you don't have to be so polite with me. And I'm your husband, so when you're in a bad mood, I don't mind letting you vent your anger on me. "

The more Lin Mufan treated her in this way, the more she felt that he was causing trouble without reason.

"Open your mouth." Gu Anning picked up a pear and fed it to Lin Mufan, saying, "This is your compensation."

She discovered that the feeling of having someone treat her with such tolerance was especially good, as well as a sense of security. No matter where he went, it was as if he could always turn around and see him.

Lin Mufan obediently opened his mouth and ate the pear that Gu Anning fed to her mouth. He said: "En, delicious, this is the most delicious and sweetest pear I have ever eaten."

The couple laid on the bed and ate the whole plate of pears.

The reason why some of them thought that even though the pampered Gu Anxi said that he wanted to fast food, they were only going to force Gu Zhiheng to compromise. Not only did Gu Zhiheng feel the same way, even Gu Anning had the same thought.

Gu Anxi had been spoiled since young and was used to it, so it was impossible for his to really suffer from a hunger strike.

However, they had all underestimated Gu Anxi. Gu Anxi had not gone out for two days straight, nor did he eat anything.

On the third day, Gu Anning woke up early in the morning and knocked on Gu Anxi's door. However, the room was still closed and there was no sound from inside. It was as if there really was no one inside the room, at this moment, Gu Anning was wondering if Gu Anxi had already sneaked out of the room.

During breakfast, Gu Zhiheng wore a cold expression, and his mood was obviously especially depressed.

Gu Anning wanted to discuss about Gu Anxi with Gu Zhiheng, but seeing Gu Zhiheng's expression, she silently swallowed all of his words, and didn't say anything. And other than the first day, Gu Zhiheng did not even mention a single word about Gu Anxi, as if Gu Anxi did not even exist.

So in the end, it was still the father and daughter duo who were competing, and it depended on who was the first to compromise.

Gu Anning was afraid that something really bad would happen to Gu Anxi, and at that time, the most miserable person would still be Gu Zhiheng. Gu Zhiheng was already too old, and really couldn't take it anymore.

After breakfast, Gu Zhiheng went to work and left Lin Mufan behind.

She did not realize that she was becoming more and more reliant on Lin Mufan, to the point where she had even become more reliant on him.

"Mu Fan, I'm really worried about An Xi." Gu Anning said to Lin Mufan, "An Xi hasn't eaten for two days and hasn't come out either. I'm a little worried that something might have happened to her. He shouldn't have knocked on her door. Could something have happened to her? "

Only now did Lin Mufan know that Gu Anning was truly worried for him. He smiled, rubbed Gu Anning's hair and said: "Don't worry, I'll take a look for you."

"Thank you." Gu Anning laughed and felt a lot more at ease. She completely trusted Lin Mufan's words, as if he had never broken his promise to her.

Lin Mufan shook his head helplessly. He had already told Gu Anning many times, there was no need to be so polite with him. Gu Anning couldn't seem to remember this, tsk … It seemed that he needed to work even harder.

He called Meng Qi and told him that he was going to the company late this morning.

As for this morning's meeting, Meng Qi would be hosting it on his behalf. Meng Qi had always been very cooperative and agreed to it immediately.

Then he called his secretary, and all the arrangements for the morning were pushed back into the afternoon.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look." After hanging up the phone, Lin Mufan said to Gu Anning.

Gu Anning nodded and followed Mu Fan upstairs. She asked, "Is it alright if you don't go to the company? Did I give you any trouble? "

"You are my wife, and your matters are my matters. How can you say that you are causing trouble?" Lin Mufan said: "Besides, I'm really happy that you're willing to give me trouble. This is an opportunity to show off and I also welcome you to give me trouble in the future. I'm very satisfied."

Gu Anning was amused by Lin Mufan's two sentences, and said: "When I find trouble with you everyday, you will have to beg for mercy while crying."

"I look forward to that day." Lin Mufan said.

When they were talking, they were already at the door of Gu Anxi's room. Gu Anning was a bit worried, his eyebrows knitted together, she walked to the door, knocked on the door and said to Gu Anxi who was inside: "An Xi, can you open the door, we are worried about you, don't make us worry, okay?"

The more he thought about it, the more Gu Anning felt annoyed. She turned his head and said to Lin Mufan, "My name is An Xi now, An Xi is not someone who should be doing this. There is no sound in the room at all. I don't know if she's deliberately ignoring us, or if she's not in his room at all, or … " Something had happened.

Gu Anning paused for a moment. His final guess was the worst case scenario, she didn't even mention it when he was afraid that his crow's beak would hit the nail on the head.

Gu Zhiheng was already old, if something really happened to Gu Anxi, then how could Gu Zhiheng endure it?

"Don't worry, I'm here." Seeing Gu Anning's worried expression, Lin Mufan reached out and patted Gu Anning's shoulder, and said: "Come, stand far away."

As he spoke, he pushed Gu Anning to the side and stood in front of the door.
