Chapter 1085: Hot and Sour Noodles
Emperor Building.
Mu Anhan had been busy all morning, Xue Xiangtong came to visit her, bringing her street snacks.
"Wow, fragrant spicy and sour noodles! My favorite..."
Mu Anhan happily waved her hands and feet, and upon sitting down, she began to eat.
"Look at you, always loving sour and spicy food, maybe this pregnancy has both a boy and a girl." Xue Xiangtong laughed, "Eat slowly, I bought you two servings."
"Best friend indeed, that’s what you are, I’ll give you an award at the end of the year." Mu Anhan laughed, "My appetite is getting bigger and bigger."
"The kids need nutrition, all three of them are relying on you alone, so it’s understandable you’re eating well. My mom said when she was pregnant with me, she ate even more than you, three big bowls at every meal!" Xue Xiangtong leaned back in her chair.
"Tong Tong, aren’t you eating?" Mu Anhan asked her.
"I’ve already eaten." Xue Xiangtong propped her chin with her hand, "I’m going to visit the President with the bureau leaders this afternoon, do you have anything you want me to convey?"
Mu Anhan smiled, "I have nothing to convey, I trust him."
"Alright then!" Xue Xiangtong nodded, "I’ll be off then, take your time eating, next time I’ll bring you more delicious food."
"Go ahead!" Mu Anhan responded.
After Xue Xiangtong left, Gu Xiaozhan returned to the office, and as soon as he walked in, he smelled the unusual aroma.
He couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose, "It smells good..."
Mu Anhan hadn’t finished her bowl yet, she pushed the other bowl in front of him, "Why don’t you try some?"
She remembered that when he was first injured, he wanted to eat something spicy, but she didn’t allow it for the sake of his health!
Gu Xiaozhan didn’t hesitate and devoured the spicy and sour noodles, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
She took out a tissue, gently wiping it for him, "Eat slowly, if it’s not enough, we can order more later, or let Tao Kai buy some from this shop for us to eat."
Although she found it strange, this man, before he got injured, never seemed inclined to try these foods.
Now, he treats them like treasures.
"How about we finish early this afternoon and go to that shop to eat?" Gu Xiaozhan proposed.
"Sure!" Mu Anhan immediately agreed.
He reached out and gently wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth, little foodie.
The cleaning staff came in to tidy up the table, and the secretaries brought in two cups of green tea.
Mu Anhan drank a few sips and then leaned back on the sofa to rest.
Despite not being directly involved in management tasks, Gu Xiaozhan meticulously assisted her, making her workload lighter.
Even though he couldn’t recall the events of the past five years, his business acumen remained sharp and clear.
...
President Mansion.
Since the sub-bureau was a place Pei Zhe recently stayed, this time they also brought people to visit Pei Zhe.
Xue Xiangtong brought some local specialties, along with tea, cigarettes, and alcohol, "Mr. President, these are from my parents’ travels, they wanted to thank you for taking care of me."
"Alright, I’ll accept them." Pei Zhe nodded, "Please send my regards to your parents."
"Okay!" Xue Xiangtong looked at him, "You seem to have lost quite a bit of weight. Is sitting in this position particularly exhausting? Being a team captain must have been more enjoyable!"
Pei Zhe smiled, "Seems you’re still living quite leisurely!"
"I don’t have big ambitions, just one person eating and no family going hungry!" Xue Xiangtong waved her hand, "I’m destined for a laid-back life! Eating and drinking without worrying about a thing, not like you, always so concerned..."
