Chapter 1059: Not Fighting Back
If Pei Zhe hadn’t spent that time with Mu Anhan at the police station, he might have done something extreme.
However, during that time together, he saw clearly what kind of person she was.
Even after five years apart, when they met again, she was still honest with him.
Mu Anye scoffed with discontent, "You plan to let her stay with this man who could go mad at any moment for the rest of her life?"
"This is her life. Any of us can help her when she needs it, but we cannot make decisions for her." Pei Zhe maintained this stance.
"I’m going out for a smoke." Mu Anye left without looking back.
In comparison to Mu Anye’s straightforwardness, didn’t Pei Zhe also want to act?
But others have had an easy life, growing up without worries.
He was different; he endured too much hardship since childhood, and as he grew, he wanted to shelter others from the rain.
Pei Zhe intended to leave, but heard the sound of an argument from the lounge.
The lounge.
Mu Anhan was tightly held in Gu Xiaozhan’s embrace, as if he owned her. Despite her fatigue from surgery, she reached up to wrap her arms around his neck, gently calling to him:
"Xiao Zhan... Xiao Zhan... I’m here..."
"You promised me not to see him!" Gu Xiaozhan accused her.
Mu Anhan gazed at him, "Today Mr. Lu had surgery. Everyone came to the hospital to visit Mr. Lu, not to meet me. We are only coexisting because there are many of us here."
Gu Xiaozhan’s eyes were bloodshot, showing no signs of understanding her, "You come home with me, and you’re not allowed to go anywhere..."
"Alright, I’ll go home with you!" Mu Anhan also didn’t want him to cause a scene in the hospital.
There are no secrets in this world, and it would surely be misunderstood by someone with intentions.
As she sat up, she felt some pain in her belly, "Xiao Zhan, wait a moment..."
"Are you lying to me?" Gu Xiaozhan glared at her fiercely.
"No, I’m not..." Mu Anhan shook her head, "Give me a moment to rest; my belly feels uncomfortable... They are your children!"
"You’re using the children as an excuse because you still want to run into Pei Zhe at the hospital, don’t you?" Gu Xiaozhan was growing more irrational.
He dragged her, trying to force her to leave, and Mu Anhan felt even more pain, "Xiao Zhan... Xiao Zhan, I’m begging you... Could you listen just this once?"
Pei Zhe, who was outside the door, could no longer bear it. He called the bodyguards to quickly find Mu Anye.
He pushed the door open and strode inside.
"Gu Xiaozhan, let a doctor check her!" Pei Zhe pulled Gu Xiaozhan away.
How could Gu Xiaozhan allow him to interfere in their affairs? The fight that hadn’t been finished earlier now flared up again as he raised his fist.
Pei Zhe did not retaliate.
He couldn’t fight with someone seriously injured in front of Mu Anhan.
Pei Zhe took a punch straight on, causing his lip to bleed.
Mu Anhan hadn’t expected Pei Zhe to be here, which only enraged Gu Xiaozhan further.
"Pei Zhe, you should leave first!"
"I can’t let anyone bully you!" Pei Zhe refused to be a coward and take her away.
But he also couldn’t just stand by and watch her get hurt by another man!
"Bang!"
Just as Pei Zhe spoke, he took another punch.
The sight of them fighting was the last thing Mu Anhan wanted. Her belly hurt, and she sat on the floor, too weak to intervene.
Mu Anye received the message and arrived immediately.
He swiftly elbowed Gu Xiaozhan into unconsciousness, while Mu Anhan chastised him: "How could you strike so hard? Don’t you know he just had surgery? Mu Anye, you’ve gone too far!"
