Julian drove and Annalise pointed the way. They drove for more than an hour back to the village. At Pond Village, Annalise asked Julian to drive the car up a winding mountain road behind the mountain. This road was built by Annalise’s mentors when they were building houses back then.
The mountain was not tall, but it occupied a large area. When the mentors lived in seclusion, they specially found a bulldozer to bulldoze the soil on the top of the mountain before building houses.
The mountain road that was built could only allow one car to drive up. Moreover, there was a door control system halfway. Only people who lived on the mountain could open the door and enter.
Everyone in the village knew that there were a few old men living on the mountain. They seemed to be quite rich and might be retired cadres of the unit. However, the people on the mountain didn’t often interact with outsiders, so the villagers didn’t know the exact situation.
Julian drove to the door control system and stopped. Annalise got out of the car, swiped her face at the door control system, and was admitted passing. Julian drove the car forward. The car drove straight into the private villa area.
The first thing they saw was a bamboo forest, followed by a large area of flowers, and then a vegetable garden. The vegetables in the vegetable garden were growing extremely well. On the other side, a group of chickens heard the sound of the car and flapped their wings, chirping and flying around. “What a good place!” Julian could not help but sigh.
Actually, Julian was a little uncomfortable. Thinking that he was going to see Annalise’s mentors, Julian couldn’t help but be very nervous. Upon hearing the sound of the car, Dariel came out unhappily. “Who is it?” When Dariel saw an unfamiliar car, his face darkened even more.
However, when Dariel saw Annalise jump out of the car, his expression changed instantly as if from dark. clouds to clear weather. His cloudy eyes were filled with surprise. “Why didn’t you tell us you were coming back in advance?” Annalise smiled and said, “Isn’t it a surprise for you, Mr. Randall?”
Dariel pursed his mouth like a kid and complained unhappily, “You haven’t been back for a few months. It’s indeed a surprise for us.” “No. It’s only been a month.” Annalise smiled and held Dariel’s hand. Dariel dodged and did not let Annalise hold his hand. However, Annalise insisted on holding Dariel’s hand.
Dariel smiled secretly, his eyes filled with love and kindness. Julian also got out of the car. Annalise immediately introduced Dariel to him. “Julian, this is my second mentor, Dariel Randall.” Dariel said seriously to Annalise at once, “How dare you call me by the name! How rude!” Annalise laughed.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Randall. I’m Annalise’s husband. My name is Julian.” Julian immediately greeted Dariel politely. Julian was shocked. When Julian first found out that Annalise was Master Quigley’s apprentice, he was very shocked.
When Julian bought a gift for Master Quigley, he wanted to buy a teapot. At that time, Julian learned that Cash was also Annalise’s mentor by chance, and he was shocked again. Now, Julian knew the founder of Randalls’ Martial Arts, Dariel Randall, was also Annalise’s mentor. No wonder Annalise was so outstanding.
Dariel looked at Julian unhappily. “You are Anna’s husband?” “Yes, Mr. Randall,” Julian said politely, The next moment, Dariel suddenly pushed Annalise away and punched Julian.
“Mr. Randall!” Annalise immediately shouted. At the same time, Annalise covered her face with her hands, not daring to look. She did not know if Julian would be bedridden by Dariel’s punch.
