Chapter 1102: Scheming
Mu Shaojie nodded, "Alright, it’s too late now, just pick a room and sleep."
Xue Xiangtong looked at him, didn’t he understand her hints?
Who knew, the man touched her head, "Don’t progress too fast."
Xue Xiangtong blushed immediately, he had seen through her thoughts long ago, yet he spoke like that.
"Hmmph!" She found a guest room, lay down, and slept.
Mu Shaojie took a shower and even went to the guest room to check on her.
She had already fallen asleep, with a rather casual sleeping posture, yet her face bore a happy smile.
...
The next day.
Tianqin Residence.
Mu Anhan was helping Gu Xiaozhan with his tie, he looked down at her, her small hands fluttering around his neck.
After finishing breakfast, the two went to work together.
Before getting out of the car, Gu Xiaozhan placed his large hand on her belly, soothing the babies.
But for some reason, Gu Xiaozhan felt Mu Anhan was becoming distant towards him.
She was no longer as enthusiastic as before.
She even answered calls from various businessmen in front of him.
Her conversations with Pei Zhe were no longer cautious, she said whatever needed to be said, without any reservations.
She devoted herself to work entirely, leaving less time for him.
Mu Anhan attended the aerospace department meeting.
Gu Xiaorui arrived at the CEO’s office, only Gu Xiaozhan was present.
"Brother, are you feeling better?" She carried a box of cookies, walked up to him, "I made these myself, would you like to try them?"
She knew, her brother was incredibly wealthy, lacking nothing except family love.
Gu Xiaozhan and his siblings weren’t very close, he glanced at her, "Just leave it there!"
"Brother..." Gu Xiaorui sat down on the sofa, "Is sister-in-law not in the office?"
"She’s gone to a meeting." Gu Xiaozhan set down the document in his hand and also sat across from her, "What’s the matter?"
"I like Pei Zhe." Gu Xiaorui didn’t beat around the bush, straightforwardly expressing her intentions, "I want to marry him!"
Gu Xiaozhan analyzed the current situation for her, "Mother pressured Pei Zhe, to no avail, are you asking me?"
"Brother is different from mother." Gu Xiaorui said, "Pei Zhe is very resentful towards mother because she always targets sister-in-law. Pei Zhe’s desire for sister-in-law has never changed, if he doesn’t get married, it will actually affect the relationship between you and sister-in-law."
"I completely trust your sister-in-law one hundred percent." On this point, Gu Xiaozhan was very sure.
Gu Xiaorui nodded, "What about Pei Zhe? People are unpredictable, can you trust him? If he is with me, I’ll keep an eye on him, then surely brother will have no worries, right?"
Gu Xiaozhan was a bit displeased, "Do you even know, men really hate being manipulated, especially regarding love and marriage."
"Of course I know, but isn’t that how brother married sister-in-law?" Gu Xiaorui said firmly, "And now doesn’t sister-in-law love brother with all of her heart, devoted until death?"
Gu Xiaozhan did not speak.
"From childhood to adulthood, I have never asked brother for anything." Gu Xiaorui said as she cried, "I only ask brother to do me this one favor, okay? Regardless of the outcome, I will bravely accept it."
Gu Xiaozhan’s hand tapped the edge of the sofa, "Are you really capable of managing Pei Zhe?"
"Don’t you trust the Gu Family’s capabilities?" Gu Xiaorui had great confidence.
Always, whatever the Gu Family wanted, they got.
