Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Comfort
"No problem." Mu Chaoneng agreed very readily.
"I’ll arrange a time for you two to meet and talk." Mu Anhan smiled. "I’m full, I’m going to head back first."
"So fast?" Mu Chaoneng checked the time. "Now that you’re President Mu, you count time by the second?"
"Work’s over, I’m going home to keep my husband company." Mu Anhan stood up.
Mu Chaoneng sighed a little. "We brother and sister haven’t seen each other for years, and all you can think about is your husband!"
Mu Shaochen patted his older brother on the shoulder. "We’ve got plenty of time to catch up in the future. I’ll take our little sister home first."
"Alright. Did you bring a driver? You’ve been drinking, you can’t drive." Mu Chaoneng reminded them.
"We did." Mu Anhan left together with Mu Shaochen.
Mu Shaochen told Tang Bin to send Mu Anhan back to Tianqin Residence first, while he went to visit Mr. Gu.
...
Tianqin Residence.
Gu Xiaozhan had just come back from rehab and was about to take a shower when he saw a message light up on his phone.
It was a photo.
Pei Zhe was pouring tea for Mu Anhan, his profile gentle, the way he looked at her soft and indulgent.
Mu Anhan’s smile bloomed like a flower, her snow-white neck as elegant and beautiful as a swan. A few strands of hair fell against her cheek, adding a touch of sultry charm.
Gu Xiaozhan tightened his grip on the phone. She actually went to see Pei Zhe?
He took a cold shower, but it still couldn’t wash away the restlessness in his body. That image of her smiling at another man was like a thorn, viciously stabbing into his heart.
In his heart, there was a beast, about to smash open its cage and burst out ferociously.
...
When Mu Anhan got home, the butler Zhu Chen said Mr. Gu was in the shower.
Mu Shaochen met with Mu Anye, and the two of them sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.
"How is Mr. Gu doing now?"
"He’s very proactive with his rehab, plus he has a good foundation. His recovery speed is at least twice as fast as other people’s." Mu Anye said.
"That’s great!" Mu Shaochen nodded. "After Mr. Gu gets better, will you still go back to the United States?"
"I probably won’t. I’m waiting for this big shot to invest and build us a medical lab." Mu Anye made no effort to hide his intention.
"As long as Mr. Gu makes a full recovery, everything else won’t be a problem." Mu Shaochen took a sip of tea.
The two of them talked for quite a while, but there was still no sign of Gu Xiaozhan or Mu Anhan coming downstairs.
"Why don’t you head out? Those two have such a lovey-dovey marriage, you know? It’s downright envy-inducing." Mu Anye shook his head. "I don’t even want to live here; getting force-fed dog food every day is killing me!"
Mu Shaochen stood up. "Alright, I’ll get going first. I’ll talk to our little sister tomorrow."
Only after Mu Shaochen’s car had driven far away did Mu Anye go upstairs. He then heard sounds of an argument coming from the bedroom.
In the bedroom.
When Mu Anhan came back, Gu Xiaozhan was still in the bathroom under a cold shower.
She was worried, so she knocked on the door. "Xiao Zhan, you’ve been in there a long time. Aren’t you done yet?"
No one in the bathroom responded to her.
Still worried, she pushed the door open and saw the man standing under the showerhead, his eyes bloodshot, as if he were desperately trying to control his emotions.
Mu Anhan had seen this scene many times before and was already quite adept at handling it.
She didn’t care that the water was soaking her as well. She walked over and gently wrapped her arms around him. "Xiao Zhan, I’m here..."
"I’m sorry, I came back late..."
"Xiao Zhan, I’ll always be here..."
She spoke softly and tenderly, soothing his explosive mood. She reached out to caress his handsome face, bravely met his bloodthirsty, icy gaze, and then rose up on her toes to kiss his lips...
