Anyan Pavilion.
Earlier, Mu An had said he would take Tong Ziran out for a meal. As someone who follows through on his words, he naturally did what he said.
"What? You really just came to eat? How boring!"
The girl pouted a bit unhappily.
Mu An found it a bit amusing.
"What, do you want to eat something inappropriate?"
"If you're treating, I wouldn't mind! I promise I'll finish everything!"
Tong Ziran clasped her hands behind her back and smiled mischievously, occasionally glancing at a certain someone, as if it were self-evident.

Mu An rolled his eyes.
He lightly tapped her on the head and said helplessly, "Be careful, or your dad will find out and spank you!"
The girl puffed up her cheeks and glared at him.
"He wouldn't dare to control me! Hmph! I'm in a good mood today, so let's not mention that old man!"
"If it weren't for him insisting on sending me abroad for treatment, I wouldn't have been separated from you for so many years!"
At this point, she even ground her teeth, clearly dissatisfied with her father.
When it came to the topic of 'treatment,' Mu An fell silent for a moment. With the help of skills like 'Unforgettable Memory,' he quickly skimmed through his childhood memories.
Among them was a memory regarding the girl's illness. To be precise, it wasn't an ordinary physical ailment, but more akin to a mental illness!
He wondered if his healing techniques would be effective for her?
While he was lost in thought, the two had already entered Anyan Pavilion.
Although it was a weekday and not yet mealtime, the place was still bustling with activity, packed with customers.
This showed how popular the establishment was!
"Hello, boss!"
A female staff member saw Mu An and immediately bowed respectfully.
"Where's Sister Nanyan?"
Mu An nodded and asked.
The business at Anyan Pavilion was thriving, so it was impossible for Gong Nanyan to manage everything alone.
Not long ago, at Gong Nanyan's suggestion, the shop hired some university students from nearby. Most of them came from poor families but were diligent in their studies, taking their jobs seriously.
"Madam is in the office on the second floor!"
"Do you need me to notify her?"
The female staff member asked.
"No need to trouble her, just get us a private room to eat!"
Thinking it might delay Gong Nanyan's work, Mu An ultimately shook his head.
It's just a meal; there's no need to bother her every time!
"Okay, boss, this way please!"
The female staff member inquired through the intercom and immediately led Mu An and Tong Ziran to an empty private room.
These luxuriously decorated private rooms were mainly used to host special clients.
The starting price was over ten thousand, which ordinary people couldn't afford.
So, it was normal for there to be vacancies.
After Mu An placed his order, the female staff member politely closed the door to the private room.

…..
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the girl staring at him intently, Mu An was a bit puzzled.
"My dear childhood sweetheart, do you have anything to explain to me?"
Tong Ziran looked at Mu An with a resentful expression.
Her demeanor was like that of a woman abandoned by her beloved, full of sorrow and pity!
"There's nothing much to explain; it's just that I opened a shop with a friend!"
Mu An shrugged.
"Hehe, a friend? If I'm not mistaken, this friend must be a girl!"
Clearly, the girl was still a bit sensitive about the term 'boss lady' she had just heard.
Just when Mu An thought she was about to make a fuss, Tong Ziran suddenly changed her tone.
She leaned closer to the man, her beautiful eyes staring at him seriously.
"I don't care how many women will be around you in the future, but I must be the most unique one in your heart!"
[From Tong Ziran's determination emotional fluctuation +99, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +100]!]
Thump thump thump!
Mu An was just about to say something when a sudden knock on the door interrupted him. Soon, Gong Nanyan pushed the door open and walked in. Upon seeing the ambiguous actions of the man and woman in front of her, she was momentarily taken aback and covered her mouth with a light laugh.
"It seems I came at a bad time!"
"No! You came at just the right time!"
Mu An deliberately put on a serious face and said earnestly, "Let me introduce you, this is Gong Nanyan! She is my partner in this business!"
"And this is..."
Just as he was about to introduce Tong Ziran, he realized that one of his arms was already deeply embedded in the softness of the girl, making it hard to pull away. At the same time, the other party answered directly, "My name is Tong Ziran, and I am Mu An's most, most, most favorite childhood friend! I will definitely become his wife in the future!"
She emphasized the word "most" three times, showing just how great her sense of crisis was. As she spoke, the girl looked defiantly at the mature woman in front of her, who was as ripe as a peach, as if silently declaring her ownership! The other party gave her a huge sense of crisis! That stunning figure could make any man unable to resist, completely overshadowing her current youthful appearance! It seemed she would be a formidable rival!
Mu An felt helpless. How did a training ground suddenly appear? All he wanted was to have a nice meal! Fortunately, as a "long-time couple," Gong Nanyan understood Mu An very well and did not take the opportunity to stir the pot. She smiled slightly, looking affectionately at her man.
"Ziran, you don't need to be nervous!"
"Although my relationship with Xiao Mu is indeed good, I won't seek too much recognition! I won't compete with you for anything!"
"This is beyond doubt, and I can assure you of that!"
"After all, for me, as long as I can stay by his side and quietly accompany him, I feel very happy!"
"Other things are not important!"
No matter when, sincerity is the only ultimate skill! Such words naturally left Tong Ziran speechless. She could only say that this woman's realm had surpassed her too much!
[Emotional fluctuation from Gong Nanyan +50, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +50]!]
[Emotional fluctuation from Tong Ziran's silence +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +30]!]
…..
Mu An felt deeply moved. If understanding could be ranked, he would undoubtedly cast his vote without hesitation for Gong Nanyan! Because she was just too considerate and thoughtful!
