Gu Xiaozhan reached out and pulled her into his arms; he closed his eyes and pressed his head against her neck, slling her.
"It slls like spicy hotpot." He chuckled softly.
Mu Anhan humd with satisfaction, "I know you don’t have ti to eat, so here I am, bringing you the aroma of hotpot for you to savor."
"Are you suggesting that I devour you too?" Gu Xiaozhan’s voice was so deep that it seed as if the world’s noises ceased to exist, leaving only his enticing tone.
If ears could get pregnant, listening to him would have birthed countless little ears.
"Weren’t we going to eat tonight?" Mu Anhan’s face flushed red.
Gu Xiaozhan sighed softly, "I need to go out to sea tonight."
"Huh?" Mu Anhan felt a bit disappointed, "Is it sothing important?"
"Yes." Gu Xiaozhan nodded.
"No matter how late you co back, I’ll wait for you." Mu Anhan’s eyes were resolute, filled with love.
She knew he was always extrely busy.
Gu Xiaozhan didn’t speak, but there was already a spark in his eyes.
Mu Anhan glanced sneakily at the door of the lounge, "So... are you busy now?"
"Also busy." Gu Xiaozhan seed to not understand what she was implying.
"Oh!" Mu Anhan jumped out of his arms, "Then you be busy! If there’s anything you need to do, just call !"
After speaking, she went to her desk.
"Why did you ask if I’m busy? Is there sothing you need?" Gu Xiaozhan called her back.
Mu Anhan’s face turned red; she originally ant that if he was busy at night, now might be the ti to visit the lounge...
But since he said he was busy, could she bring it up again?
"Nothing significant." Mu Anhan shook her head.
Gu Xiaozhan didn’t pursue further and continued imrsing himself in work.
Mu Anhan opened her computer, put on her earphones, and checked for any new discoveries from surveilling Su Peizhi’s phone.
Strangely, her so-called master hadn’t made any move.
Even after Su Peizhi ssed up at the airport, the alleged master didn’t show up to find her.
Nevertheless, Mu Anhan decided to remain patient—a fox will always show its tail.
She thought since Gu Xiaozhan was going out to sea tonight, she might as well have a small gathering with her older brother and third brother.
She ssaged Mu Chaohuan: [Brother, how about I treat you and third brother to dinner tonight?]
[Xiao Han, I’ve arranged to et Pei Wei tonight.]
Mu Anhan saw he was the one initiating the eting, [Brother, do you plan to discuss anything with him?]
Mu Chaohuan: [I intend to clarify so matters as I’m preparing to return to work.]
Upon hearing this, Mu Anhan understood her brother’s intention was not to collaborate with the Pei Family, which reassured her.
[Where did you arrange to et?]
[I’ve chosen a teahouse, but Pei Wei suggested going out to sea on a yacht.]
[Brother, you must be careful with him; he’s very petty.]
She was reminding Mu Chaohuan that Pei Wei was too narrow-minded and if Mu Chaohuan ultimately rejected working with the Pei Family, Pei Wei might resort to action against him.
Mu Chaohuan: [Okay.]
Mu Anhan imdiately browsed the web to search for information about Pei Wei’s private yacht.
It’s apparent he’s a scientist who prefers conversations in teahouses, showcasing his integrity.
Yet, Pei Wei was originally a wayward scion, owning luxury cars, yachts, and planes, never engaging in real work.
She feared that if her brother declined cooperation with Pei Wei tonight, he might face danger.
The path was sowhat different from the previous lifeti; in the past, her brother agreed to work with the Pei Family.
