Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: The Other Man
Mu Anhan had been sick for several days before she finally pulled through the virus.
Mu Anye had been speaking up for her the whole time, feeling she was being treated far too unfairly.
On what grounds did Gu Xiaozhan treat her like this? Was he really incapable of properly loving one person?
For god’s sake, that was the twin sister who had shared the same womb and placenta with him.
Mu Anhan told him not to meddle, that all he needed to do was take good care of Gu Xiaozhan’s health.
Since Emperor Group was also involved in AI projects, Li Mingrui came knocking as well, wanting to collaborate.
But Mu Anhan’s main focus recently wasn’t on AI and artificial intelligence, it was on the aerospace business.
Even so, when the other side’s president invited her to lunch, she brought He Feng along and went.
If Mu Shaochen, as her brother, would naturally take her side, then He Feng was absolutely Gu Xiaozhan’s loyal subordinate; Gu Xiaozhan should feel completely at ease.
Who knew that even at this lunch, some messy trouble would still get stirred up.
He Feng’s clothes were accidentally stained by the waiter while serving dishes, so he went to change.
That left only Li Mingrui and Mu Anhan at the table, eating together, and the media took photos of just the two of them and splashed them everywhere.
The headline read: In the Age of AI, Boss Li Invites a Beautiful CEO Into a New Era.
Because there was nothing between Boss Li and Mu Anhan for the media to really spin into a scandal, the major outlets all focused on the potential for a business partnership.
But neither side came out to say anything—no confirmation of cooperation, but no denial either.
Zhong Qiaoli even sent a message teasing Mu Anhan: [You’re so busy you don’t even have time to take care of your husband, want me to help you out?]
Help with intentions as obvious as Sima Zhao’s heart, how could Mu Anhan possibly agree?
[No need for you to worry, my brother’s here!]
Mu Anhan was truly grateful to her brothers for staying by her side when she needed help the most.
Zhong Qiaoli: [You’re the one in charge of Mr. Gu’s company now. Transferring me over to work there should be doable, right?]
There was no way Mu Anhan would plant a ticking time bomb next to herself. [Aren’t you afraid President Li will be hurt if he finds out?]
Zhong Qiaoli: [President Li won’t. An Han, just transfer me over!]
Mu Anhan let out a cold laugh. [Our AI department isn’t short on people.]
Zhong Qiaoli couldn’t argue any further and only said that if they were ever short-handed, she wanted to be the first person they thought of.
Mu Anhan didn’t want to chat with her anymore. After she finished her work that afternoon, she went back to Tianqin Residence to keep Gu Xiaozhan company.
She hadn’t been clinging to him these past few days since she got sick.
She was thinking that tonight, the two of them could get a little closer again.
After she got back, she took a shower, put on some prenatal education music, and lay on the sofa with her eyes closed, savoring a moment of peace.
The butler, Zhu Chen, said that Gu Xiaozhan had gone with Tao Yong for rehab; he’d been very determined lately, wanting to recover as quickly as possible.
When he pushed the door open, even the air that came in with him was heavy with displeasure.
"Xiao Zhan..." Mu Anhan had only just called his name when he strode right up to her.
He stared at her like a predator guarding his territory, as if his prey were about to be stolen away.
Mu Anhan wasn’t unfamiliar with him being like this; she just felt his temper was getting more and more explosive.
"I was only talking business over lunch today, just about cooperation with—"
Before she could finish, he cut her off roughly, glaring at her with aggressive fury. "And which stray man was it this time?"
He naturally had no impression of Li Mingrui; in his mind, the man was just some nameless stray.
