Chapter 1064: Retribution
Although the sound was very slight, Mu Anhan also woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Gu Xiaozhan’s somewhat confused gaze.
He was staring at her and the two children, his usually deep eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.
She thought, perhaps his memory hadn’t returned yet, not knowing how to face a wife and a pair of children!
Especially when this wife is now pregnant with their second child!
She slowly got up, moving aside her son’s little arm that was hugging her neck, and also moved away her daughter’s small legs placed on her belly.
She gently got out of bed and walked over to him.
"Xiao Zhan, let’s go back to the room."
Gu Xiaozhan went back to the bedroom with her, taking his pajamas into the bathroom: "You go ahead and sleep, I’ll take a shower."
"Okay." Mu Anhan lay down but couldn’t fall asleep.
She picked up her laptop and opened it to take a look at tomorrow’s work schedule.
She was reluctant to let Gu Xiaozhan worry about work before he recovered, she had to pull herself together.
Gu Xiaozhan finished his shower and sat beside her.
"I want to go see Lie Huo tomorrow." Mu Anhan asked for his opinion.
Although Lie Huo is his subordinate, he is still a man.
She shouldn’t meet any man now, even if he’s his man.
Gu Xiaozhan lay down, "I’ll go with you."
Mu Anhan: "..."
She thought this might be for the best, avoiding her being alone with Lie Huo.
She is now extremely cautious in interacting with him, afraid that he might accidentally relapse into paranoia and agitation.
"It’s late, let’s sleep." He turned off the room lights.
The darkness of the room made Mu Anhan lie down as well.
She couldn’t sleep.
She knew he wasn’t asleep either.
But he didn’t say anything, nor did he intend to say anything.
Mu Anhan dared not provoke him, she was still traumatized by the events that happened during the day.
She didn’t know how long it had been, but she felt very hungry, too hungry to sleep.
She remembered when she was pregnant with twins in a previous life, she and he were always in a cold war.
But this man would always have the kitchen prepare her late-night snacks, no matter the time.
He knew how hard pregnancy was for her, knew she had a poor appetite, always had the kitchen change things up so she would eat a little.
Now, she’s pregnant with a second child.
If it weren’t for his injury, would she have been spoiled by him to the heavens?
She tossed and turned, with no sense of sleepiness.
So she quietly got up, intending to go downstairs to find something to eat.
Zhu Chen was still on night duty, "Madam, tonight’s late-night snacks include shrimp dumplings, bird’s nest, millet porridge, and crepes. Which would you like?"
"Shrimp dumplings, please." Mu Anhan sat down, "Thank you."
"It’s our duty." Zhu Chen nodded and went to bring the snacks over.
Mu Anhan recalled, in the previous life, when she was pregnant, she also sat alone at the table eating late-night snacks.
Only back then, she drove Gu Xiaozhan away, not wanting to see him.
And now, when she wants his company, he doesn’t want it.
She sighed, thinking this is truly karma!
After finishing the shrimp dumplings, she went upstairs to sleep.
Maybe because she was full, sleepiness quickly crept in, and she soon fell asleep after lying down.
Awakening the next day.
Gu Xiaozhan was no longer by her side, when she finished getting ready, he happened to return from his workout.
"Morning!"
She greeted him.
Gu Xiaozhan wore a sleeveless T-shirt and shorts, his body still full of strength and fitness.
As he took off the T-shirt, he said, "I’ll take a shower and then we’ll head out to see Lie Huo."
She changed into a work suit, looking both professional and strikingly heroic.
Gu Xiaozhan came out wearing only a bath towel...
