Chapter 146 Work Hard To Stay Worthy
With Lu Caiwei in charge of Moonlight Group, Julian Parks wanted to go to the countryside with
Annalise Barton to meet her mentors. He vaguely knew that Annalise had a few mentors, just not sure
exactly how many.
One night when they were about to sleep, he hugged her from behind and kissed her ear. “Annie, how
many mentors do you have?” Annalise Barton smiled and rebuked, “I’m not telling you. I want to remain
mysterious.” “Tell me.” He kissed her earlobe. She refused. “No.” He tickled her armpit to tease her.
“Are you going to tell me?”
Sheughed and wriggled in his arms. Such teasing was the most dangerous. He almost turned into a
vicious wolf again. After thinking about how it would affect her sleep, he decided to hold back. After all,
it was already early in the morning. Now, he couldn’t help but ask again, “Annie, how many mentors do
you have?”
Annalise Barton tilted her head and smiled at Julian Parks. “I’m not telling you.” Julian Parks looked at
her delicate appearance and his heart skipped a beat. Unknowingly, the corners of his lips turned up
into a smile. It felt so good to like someone. No matter what she said or did, as long as he was looking
at her, he felt happy. The sweetness he felt coursing through his entire body was as if he was always
eating candy.
He smiled and reached out to stroke her head lovingly. Annalise Barton immediately squatted down
and covered her head with her hands. “No, I did my hair today. It’ll end up messy.” She had a meeting
today, so she tied her hair into a bun and even set it.
“Haha!” Julian Parks could not help butugh happily. Seeing how adorable it was when she held her
head in her hands, made his heart melt. Initially, he thought that it would take a long time for him to
develop feelings for her. Unexpectedly, it took no time for him to fall deeply in love with her. He smiled
gently at her and took her hand. “Let’s go get some gifts.”
“Aspared to gifts, my mentors very much prefer food.” Annalise Barton felt that it was more
practical to go to the market, as she knew her mentors wereplete foodies.
“Let’s buy both food and gifts,” Julian Parks said. How could he show up empty-handed for his first
visit? Last night, he had quietly browsed the Inte for two hours to see whatizens had prepared
for their first visit to their inws’ house.
Many of them on the Inte first shared their financial situation, followed by the types of gifts they
bought, and finally their inws’ reactions. In summary, most of them gave cigarettes and wine to their
father-inw. For their mother-inw, they gave coats, milk, cosmetics, and such.
Under normal circumstances, everyone would choose to visit their inws before the Chinese New
Year because they would be in a happier mood from the festivity of the approaching New Year. The in-
laws would also be more epting if their prospective son-inw dressed up and gave them gifts.
Several sons-inw also summarized some taboos. Gifts should be given in pairs, but not in singles.
Festive red colors should be used as the gifts’ packaging instead of ck or white. Gifts should be
respectfully given
out with both hands. Avoid giving giftste at night, give them out early. Of course, this was with the
exception of a long journey. The two of them went to the mall to get some gifts. Since they’ve decided
to get gifts for Annalise Barton’s mentors, she wondered what they liked.
Throughout their lives, the mentors made many outstanding achievements and had both fame and
fortune. They did notck money at all. They didn’t need any extravagant gifts, intentions mattered
most to them. Since it was almost winter, buying them quilted clothes would be ideal. Hence, Annalise
Barton dragged Julian Parks to pick out clothes. “Annie, how many mentors do you have?” Julian Parks
asked again curiously.
Since they’re buying gifts for her mentors, he should at least know how many of them are there. It
would be best if he knew their age, gender, and hobbies! Annalise Barton smiled. “Three of them live in
the vige now.”

She had five mentors. Mr. Joseph Quigley is a medical expert. Mr. Dariel Randall is the founder of the
Randalls’ Martial Arts. Mr. Cash Cappell is a master of pottery. Mr. James Brown is a hacker of the
Honker Union. Ms. Madeline Tuffin is a world-renowned painter. Mr. James Brown and Ms. Madeline
Tuffin are rtively young and do not live in the vige.
asionally, Ms. Madeline Tuffin would return to the vige to recuperate with Mr. Joseph Quigley’s
help. She would also learn pottery from Mr. Cash Cappell. Mr. James Brown always remained
mysterious in his traces and hardly returned to the vige. These were her official five mentors. The
rest of them were considered good teachers and friends of hers.
“In that case, should we buy five or three gifts?” Julian Parks asked for Annalise Barton’s opinion. After
all, he had no idea if the other mentors would return to the vige. In actual fact, he couldn’t wait to find
out who the three mentors in the vige were. He had a strong intuition that the other two mentors were
not simple either. “Just buy three gifts,” Annalise Barton said. “Let’s go buy clothes first.”
Annalise Barton picked three quilted clothes seriously. They were of the same style, bright red, and
looked especially festive. She looked at Julian Parks with a smile and said, “When yourpany starts
releasing clothes for the older folks, we’ll buy them together.”
“Okay.” Julian Parks’s grinned from ear to ear. When she said, “we’ll buy them together”, it made him
so happy. The fact that she naturally said “we” was beyond satisfying for him.
After choosing three sets of quilted clothes, Julian Parks dragged Annalise Barton to buy something
else. He asked Annalise, “Other than Mr. Joseph Quigley, are the other two mentors about the same
age?” Seeing the clothes that Annalise bought, he guessed that they would be a lot older.
“Yeah, a few years apart,” Annalise Barton said. “Let’s go buy a pot. There’s Mr. Cappell’s pottery store
over there.” Julian Parks’ sharp eyes spotted the store when they entered the mall.
Older people loved to drink tea, and they would want to have a good tea set too. Across Chanaea, Mr.
Cappell’s tea sets were of the highest standards and no one could surpass him.
“No need, my mentors have a lot of teapots,” Annalise Barton said. Julian Parks insisted. “Mr. Cappell’s
tea sets are the best. The mentors will like it.” “No need. They have too many teapots.” “Let’s just buy
one more set,” Julian Parks said.
Annalise Barton stood on tiptoe and whispered into Julian Parks’ ear, “When we return to the vige,
you will discover a secret.” “What secret?” Julian Parks asked curiously.
“The secret to never having to buy a pot,” Annalise Barton whispered into Julian Parks’ ear. Julian
Parks’ eyes lit up suddenly. “Mr. Cappell?” “Yeah, he’s one of my mentors,” Annalise Barton said.
Julian Parks was filled with emotions. No wonder Annalise could not only appraise paintings but also
pots. Painting and pottery were inseparable. With a mentor like Mr. Cappell, she was naturally talented
in art. Somehow, he felt that he would need to work hard to be worthy of her.
“Let’s buy cigarettes, wine, and other gifts.” He pulled her to look for other gifts. After picking gifts for
more than two hours, they finally returned fully loaded and filled the entire trunk. Annalise Barton
suggested going to the market.
As he was about to leave, Julian Parks received a call. His men reported that Abigail Barton and
Alexander Parks had arrived at Horingtonst afternoon. They seemed to have sent spies to secretly
keep an eye on their movements.
