Chapter 847: You''re Done if I Catch You Lying
Yanis prepared some food for Zane and also made some for An. Originally, Yanis nned to ask
Zane to call him, but just as she finished cooking for An, he came downstairs. "Is there a portion for
me?"
Yanis looked at him and said, "Aren''t you supposed to be sleeping?"
"I smelled something good and got hungry, so I came down," An replied, ncing at Zane''s bowl.
"No food for me?"
Yanis responded, "Yes, I''ll bring it out for you."
"No need, I''ll do it myself," An said, entering the kitchen and scooping out his portion of noodles. He
sat down across from Zane. "Having a wife is great. I need to hurry up and marry Reed."
After saying this, An shook his head. "Marrying her means cooking for her!"
"Do you know how to cook?" Yanis casually asked.
With a mouthful of noodles, An replied, "I can learn if I don''t know. I''ll take a cooking ss in the near
future, and I''ll definitely be a five-star chef."
Then An looked at Zane. "Mr. Lawrence, would you like to join me?"
Zane nced at An calmly and said, "No need, you go ahead. Or perhaps, you should be my
disciple?"
An almost choked on his noodles. "You can cook? Did Yanis teach you?"
Yanis chimed in, "Mr. Lawrence is a self-taught chef."
An looked at Yanis in disbelief. "Can his food be eaten? Is there a risk of food poisoning?"
Yanis said, "Practice makes perfect."
Hearing this, An nodded in agreement. "You''re right. It seems like I need to practice more."
After finishing their meal, Zane left.
An sat in the living room and looked at Yanis, who had finished her tasks. "Can I go in and see her?"
Yanis raised her eyes to look at him. "Why are you suddenly so polite?"
An said, "I''m afraid that Mitch mighte back and if he sees me, he''ll think I have ulterior motives
towards his sister."
Yanis couldn''t help butugh. "You''re still afraid of Mitch?"
"Can''t I be afraid of my future brother-inw?" An replied in a low voice.
"I suggest you wait until Reed wakes up before going in. She probably didn''t get much sleepst night,"
Yanis advised.
"I just want to take a quick look, as quietly as possible," An insisted.
Seeing An''s determination, Yanis didn''t say anything more and nodded. "Go ahead. If Mitches
back, I''ll exin it to him."
An thanked her and got up to go upstairs. As he reached the stairs, he suddenly stopped and turned
to look at Yanis. "Which room is hers?"
"The second one," Yanis replied.
An acknowledged with a grunt and went straight upstairs.
Upon entering the room, An treaded lightly, walked to the bedside, and looked at Reed sleeping
soundly. He wanted to touch her face, but then he remembered what Yanis had said about Reed
possibly not sleeping well the whole night. An withdrew his hand.
As An gazed at Reed sleeping, his gaze shifted to the mark on her neck that indicated she had been
strangled. Thinking about how helpless she looked when those people took her away, An''s eyes
shed with a cold gleam.
A rebellious impulse surged within him for a moment, but as he looked at Reed peacefully sleeping, he
silently suppressed that urge.
An didndidn''t stay in the room for long. He quietly stayed by the bed for a while before turning around
and leaving the room. Once outside, he gently closed the door behind him.
Instead of returning to Mitch''s room, An turned around and went downstairs.
Yanis saw Aning downstairs shortly after and looked up at him. "Why are you back so soon?"
An descended the stairs and sat on the couch in the living room. "She''s sleeping, and I didn''t want to
disturb her."
"Don''t you want to take a nap?" Yanis asked.
An shook his head. "No need. I have some things to take care of."
After saying that, An looked at Yanis and said, "I''ll be leaving now. Will you stay here and wait for
Mitch toe back?"
Yanis nodded in response. "Yes, An won''t be able to properly take care of Reed. If Mitches
back, I''ll exin things to him."
An expressed his gratitude, stood up, and said, "I''ll take my leave then. If Mitch does return, I''ll clear
things up with him."
Yanis watched An leave and then turned her attention to Zane.
Just as Yanis was about to speak, the door next to her was pushed open.
Mitch entered from outside, first greeting Yanis and then looking at An. "Aren''t you supposed to be
sleeping?"
An replied, "I woke up. Still have some things to do."
Mitch didn''t say much, just changed his shoes in the entrance before walking into the living room.
"Yanis, is Reed still sleeping?"
Yanis nodded. "Weren''t you at the hospital? Why did youe back suddenly?"
"She has some tests today, might take two or three hours in the examination room. I came back to
make her something to eat," Mitch exined.
Yanis got up from her seat upon hearing this. "Let me do it. You didn''t get much sleepst night either,
right? Go upstairs and rest for a while."
Mitch shook his head. "No need. I''ll finish making the food and then go to the office."
"Didn''t Zane tell you to take the day off and rest?" Yanis questioned.
Mitch responded, "I entered through the back door. It''s not appropriate to take leave so often."
Having spent so much time with Mitch, Yanis knew he was a determined person, so she didn''t say
anything further. "Alright then, you can help me. Did your mother mention anything she wants to eat?"
"Anything is fine," Mitch replied.
Yanis got up and checked the refrigerator. "Buy some spare ribs and lotus root."
Mitch nodded. "Is there anything else to buy? Send me a message with the details, and I''ll go get them
now."
At the right moment, An spoke up. "I''ll go with you. I was nning to leave as well."
Mitch looked at An''s face upon hearing his words. "Aren''t you going to say something to Reed?"
Before Mitch could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped. "Let''s go together."
Mitch had intended to ask An why he left without saying hello to Reed, but he held back his words.
An guessed what Mitch wanted to say and exined, "I was nning to handle some important
matters. I was just going to check on her briefly. Evan is busy by himself. I''lle back after I finish."
Mitch said in a calm tone, "Do as you wish."
"Yanis, I''ll go buy the groceries now," Mitch greeted Yanis as he left.
An also said goodbye to Yanis and followed Mitch out the door.
Once outside, Mitch turned his head and looked at An. "Did you not tell me the truth?"
Upon hearing Mitch''s words, An replied, "What do you mean I didn''t tell the truth?"
"Aboutst night and the matters between my father and them before," Mitch said sternly, staring at
An. "You better be telling the truth, or I won''t agree to Reed being with you."
An smiled. "Of course, I''m telling the truth. If I didn''t, would you let me see Reed?"

Mitch stared at An for a while. "It''s better be that way. If I catch you lying, you''re done!"
"Alright," An readily agreed.
The two parted at the door.
An stood in ce and watched as Mitch walked away before turning and heading towards the
hospital.
An wanted to meet with Marnon, to ask if Nealon had said anything to him before.
