Chapter 1075: Rigid and Boring
Pei Zhe reacted swiftly, shielding her behind him, but the wine in his glass and the juice in her hand spilled onto Mu Anhan.
Fortunately, Mu Anhan wasn’t hurt, only her dress got dirty.
"Are you okay?" Pei Zhe asked with concern.
Mu Anhan shook her head, "I’m fine."
Pei Zhe was still tightly gripping her wrist, and she could feel his worry, so she gently withdrew her hand.
Then, she looked at the culprit, who had already been subdued by Mu Shaohan.
"Pei Pei?"
Mu Anhan frowned slightly; how did this woman have the right to appear at the banquet?
Moreover, it was obvious that Pei Pei was targeting her.
"Mu Anhan, as the wife of Brother Xiao Zhan, are you being fair to him here laughing and chatting with Pei Zhe?" Pei Pei yelled hysterically.
Pei Zhe, always a determined and cold-blooded person, wouldn’t allow anyone to slander Mu Anhan. It should be Gu Xiaozhan to deal with the affairs of the Gu Family, so naturally, it was up to him to handle the Pei Family matters.
"Secretary-General, remove this person who has stolen business secrets and state secrets!"
He didn’t need to say much more and could immediately sentence Pei Pei.
Business secrets were one thing, but once it involved state secrets, it might result in a lifetime of not being able to come out.
Mu Shaohan naturally understood the meaning of his words and called people to immediately take Pei Pei away.
"Pei Zhe, you are abusing your power; you are not a good president at all! You confine your father, you’re not a good son at all! You suppress your brother, you stop at nothing for power," Pei Pei shouted as she was dragged away.
But everyone at the banquet was shrewd; whether Pei Pei’s words were credible or not, no one dared to question Pei Zhe’s decision.
Since ancient times, after a coup, the leader who ascends can lead the people to a peaceful and prosperous life and can build the nation towards prosperity. Who would still remember how he rose to power?
"An Han, go change your clothes," Pei Zhe said.
Mu Anhan nodded, "You should also check how Pei Pei got in!"
"I know." Pei Zhe, not at ease, decided to escort her to the hotel room personally, "I’ll ask someone to bring the clothes over."
"I still have my work clothes, I’ll just change back into them," Mu Anhan told him not to bother.
Pei Zhe escorted her to the door, where Tao Kai had already opened it from the inside, "Madam..."
Mu Anhan hadn’t expected that Gu Xiaozhan would be in her room. She happily ran in, "Xiao Zhan..."
Tao Kai greeted Pei Zhe, "Your Excellency, President..."
Seeing Gu Xiaozhan was there, Pei Zhe didn’t linger any longer and turned to leave.
Tao Kai closed the hotel room door and stood outside.
Mu Anhan stood in front of Gu Xiaozhan. He was seated at the desk, facing the computer, and when he smelled the alcohol on her, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"Did you drink?"
The implication being, how could you drink when you’re pregnant?
Mu Anhan leaned her hands on his desk, "Do you want to check?"
Gu Xiaozhan gazed at her. When he heard her speak, there was no smell of alcohol, "I know, you didn’t drink."
No sense of humor! Mu Anhan pouted.
When a man is too passionate, such feelings are suffocating and frightening.
But when a man remains too calm no matter what happens, it also makes one feel dull and uninteresting.
"Your clothes got dirty, change them," Gu Xiaozhan leaned back on the chair.
Mu Anhan agreed with a nod, she initially wanted to ask him if her dress looked good, but who would have expected such a commotion?
