Chapter 60

Contrary to their guess that Ruan Anya was taken away by someone, she left on her own.

This is what happened.

After Wen Rou and Shen Yu left, Ruan Anya opened the secret compartment and took out the seal. After deciding not to wait for death, she decided to meet this old friend who had been hiding in the dark.

She didn't take anything, just put the seal in her small bag, ready to return it to Xu Zeming after talking about the matter.

More than ten years have passed, they have all started new lives, the past has gone with the wind, no matter how much grudges there are, she doesn't want to get involved anymore.

After closing the door, Ruan Anya walked straight to the front desk.

"Take me to him." Seeing the receptionist looking at her with hesitation, Ruan Anya smiled slightly and said confidently: "You know where he is, take me there, this should be his intention."

There is no need to mention the man's name, both of them are tacitly aware of it.

"This..." The receptionist still looked a little hesitant, "Please let me make a phone call to ask for instructions first?"

Ruan Anya nodded, "Please."

The call was quickly connected. Ruan Anya could not hear the voice on the other end of the phone. She only heard the receptionist hum a few times and then hung up the phone.

Then he said respectfully: "Please follow me."

The provincial capital guesthouse is a garden-style hotel. The row of buildings in front is where Ruan Anya and others live. It is usually used to receive outsiders and serves as a guesthouse.

But if you enter from the other side door, you can see the flowerbed that is still lush and green in winter, and the plum blossoms that are already in full bloom in winter.

Further inside are several Chinese-style buildings. The receptionist led her to the door of one of the rooms and stopped moving. She turned around and bowed, saying, "President Xu is waiting for you in the tea room. Please come in."

Ruan Anya nodded in thanks, then took a deep breath while looking at the quaint wooden door, and walked up the stairs slowly.

With a creaky sound, the quaint mahogany door was pushed open. There was heating in the room. The man sat sideways on the mahogany chair, wearing a black turtleneck sweater, exuding an abstinent aura. His gold-rimmed glasses covered his sharp eyebrows. To outsiders, he looked like a gentle gentleman, but Ruan Anya instinctively felt danger.

"Long time no see, An'an." Xu Zeming put down the tea set slowly and looked sideways at Ruan Anya standing outside the door. His eyes were focused and firm, hiding infinite tenderness, even more than before.

It was as if their separation of more than ten years and the blood feud between them had never happened.

Ruan Anya turned her head away from his gaze, her voice cold, "Don't call me that, just tell me what you want from me."

"An An, do you have to be so distant with me?" The man said softly with disappointment in his eyes.

"We have been strangers for a long time, isn't it right to be distant?"

"You are still blaming me." Xu Zeming walked in front of Ruan Anya, his eyes glued to her slightly drooping face, reluctantly moving away a little.

"I dare not." Ruan Anya raised her head, her eyes still as cold as ice, "Tell me, why did you bother to lure me out?"
