    Chapter 1120: Unfinished Business Between Him and Me


    After listening to An, Zane fell silent for a few seconds. "How does Evan feel about this matter?"


    "He doesn''t know yet," An answered, taking a drag from his cigarette. His tone was slightly heavy.


    "Those people are after me."


    As Zane heard An''s words, he turned to look at him. "Is it rted to him?"


    Both of them knew exactly who he was referring to.


    In An''s circle, the people who would target him were none other than Nealon''s people.


    An absentmindedly ruffled his slightly disheveled hair, speaking softly, "It''s somewhat rted, but this


    matter isn''t entirely because of him. You don''t need to think too much about it; I''ll handle it."


    Zane didn''t press further and said straightforwardly, "If you need anything, just find Albi. He''ll help you


    arrange it."


    "You''re not going to ask for more details?" An turned to look at Zane, speaking in a hushed tone.


    Zane raised an eyebrow, meeting An''s gaze. "What do you want me to ask in detail? Would you tell


    me if I did?"


    An took the cigarette from his lips, ying with it between his fingers. His voice revealed no extra


    emotion. "I just don''t want to involve people around me, especially you guys."


    Hearing An''s words, a crease formed on Zane''s brow. "Is there unfinished business between you and


    him?"


    An chuckled lightly. "Finished? You really don''t understand our line of work. Wrapping things up isn''t


    so easy."


    "How then?" Zane asked, looking at An.


    An shook his head gently. "It''s better for you guys not to know the specifics."


    After saying that, An stood up. "It''s gettingte. I''ll take Reed back."


    Zane tilted his head slightly, looking at An. "You''re not staying for dinner? Reed promised Yanis


    they''d have dinner here. Are you going back by yourself?"


    Upon hearing Zane''s words, An stood still for a moment before sitting back down. "Considering your


    sincere invitation to have dinner at your house, I''ll reluctantly ept."


    Zane gave An a brief look and then stood up, tossing the cigarette he had been holding between his


    fingers to An. "Get this area sorted before dinner."


    An sighed lightly, stood up, and ced the two almost ruined cigarettes in his hand aside. "You''re


    really... not likable."


    As Zane was rearranging the pots, he replied, "You''re not the first person to say that."


    An paused and looked at Zane, his voice carrying a touch of curiosity. "There are others?"


    Zane replied, "Ivan, Iris."


    An chuckled. "That means you''re really not likable. I''m curious why Yanis likes you so much."


    Zane didn''t respond to An''s remark, finishing arranging the pots, then started giving An clear


    instructions on what to do.


    An didn''t protest, and Zane''s directions were promptly executed.


    The two of them worked in the backyard until evening, finally getting it all organized.


    Looking at the neatly arranged rows of flowers, An felt a sense of aplishment. "When we


    change houses, let''s find one with a backyard. We can nt flowers that Reed likes. I seem to have a


    knack for it."


    Zane cast a disdainful look at An. "You certainly have a knack for arranging."


    "What''s wrong? I can''t take care of these nts?" An nced at Zane sideways. "Let me tell you,


    don''t underestimate me."


    Without responding to An, Zane turned and headed indoors. "Isn''t Evan the kind of person who finds


    things troublesome? Don''t think that you can solve everything in Manches City; more people means


    more solutions. Sometimes people need to bow down."


    Listening to Zane''s words, An didn''t agree, but he had a different thought in mind.


    After they entered the house, they were greeted by the aroma of hotpot.


    Both of them had been working outside all afternoon, not realizing that someone had prepared a hotpot


    meal.


    Zane and An instinctively walked toward their respective loved ones.


    Especially Zane, who walked up to Yanis in three quick steps. "Yanis."


    Yanis was picking vegetables and looked up when Zane hurried over. "What''s wrong?"


    "Do you want hotpot?"


    Yanis made a sound of agreement. "Aunt Alice prepared a dual-vor hotpot. Reed and I will have the


    non-spicy side, and you guys can have the spicy one."


    After saying that, Yanis'' gazended on Zane. "Go wash up quickly; dinner will be ready soon."


    Zane took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "It''s not nutritious."


    Yanis made an exasperated sound. "It''s not like we''re eating it every day. Just this once. Stop


    Zane was about to refuse but hesitated when he met Yanis'' gaze. His original words got stuck on his


    tongue. "Then eat less. If you get hungryter, Aunt Alice can prepare something else for you."


    Seeing Zane relent, Yanis also didn''t push further. She nodded repeatedly. "Alright, I''ll eat less. I won''t


    eat too much."


    Zane gave up and sighed, "Then I''ll freshen up and change clothes. Don''t move; let Aunt Alice and


    Aunt Gloria prepare everything. Rest over there."


    Yanis nodded. "Alright, I got it."


    Worried that Yanis might go against her word and start working again, Zane directly took Yanis by the


    hand and ced her on the couch before heading upstairs.


    On the other side, An walked over to Reed. He began by washing his hands in silence before moving


    closer to Reed. "Do you want hotpot?"


    Reed didn''t notice An''s gaze and replied while arranging things, "I''d like a bit."


    An pursed his lips.


    "Reed, your body hasn''t fully recovered. You shouldn''t eat this."


    Reed''s hands paused in their movements. "Don''t worry, I won''t eat the spicy side. Yanis and I will have


    the non-spicy one. I''ll eat less, so it won''t have much impact."


    An wanted to say something else, but Reed''s voice sounded again. "It''s alright; you don''t need to


    worry. I know my limits. Besides, I don''t want to ruin Yanis and Sandy''s good mood."


    Unable to express what he wanted, An could only nod. "Then eat less, andter, I''ll prepare


    something else for you when I get back."


    Reed nodded. "Got it. Why don''t you go freshen up? There are spare clothes in the car. Change into


    them."


    An shook his head. "No need. I''ll help you wash up."

    "Why am I being so obtuse? I came here to have hotpot with you two, but it''s almost as if I''d be better


    off eating by myself." Sandy had listened to the interaction between Zane and An earlier and sighed


    with exasperation.


    Yanis looked at her. "You won''t fully enjoy it if you eat alone."


    "I... could find someone else."


    "Who would you find? Anthony?" An turned his head to look at Sandy. "Aren''t you afraid Mr. Hawkins


    will rush over tonight?"
