Chapter 1105: Temper
At the dining table.
Mu Anhan said nothing, continuing to eat her delicious meal.
But it tasted like chewing on wax.
She chose to keep eating because she didn’t want to talk.
Gu Xiaozhan ate very little, leaning back on his chair, looking very displeased.
Pei Zhe’s refusal was expected, yet he was still angry.
The more Pei Zhe refused to marry, the more he had feelings for Mu Anhan.
He couldn’t help but glance at Mu Anhan who was eating; her expression was indifferent, yet distant and cold towards him.
Mu Anhan naturally didn’t want to speak to him, sensing he somewhat plotted against Pei Zhe; this dinner was a Greek banquet.
The amnesiac Gu Xiaozhan had changed a lot.
Changed to the point where Mu Anhan felt he was more and more a stranger.
"I’m done, going upstairs." Mu Anhan put down her chopsticks and headed upstairs.
Gu Xiaozhan, of course, sensed her change in mood. He got up as well, following behind her.
Mu Anhan returned to her room and immediately took a shower.
After showering, she opened her computer to attend a department meeting.
When Gu Xiaozhan finished his shower, she was in a video meeting with Huo Jiguang.
"Let’s finalize this proposal first, and tomorrow we’ll reach out to the other party to decide which version is more suitable."
"Okay, President Mu." Huo Jiguang ended the meeting upon seeing Gu Xiaozhan’s figure in the video.
After Mu Anhan exited the video meeting, she searched for some information online.
She immediately called Mu Chaoneng: "Second brother, we need to have a meeting together tomorrow. After the meeting, let’s go to that place we used to eat at as kids."
"Is that place still there?" Mu Chaoneng got excited as well.
"Hold on, I’ll check on the computer." Mu Anhan placed the phone on the table, searching on her computer, "It’s still there! And it’s really busy, I’ll need to book a place in advance."
"Alright, alright!" They chatted a bit longer before hanging up.
After finishing her work, Mu Anhan finally returned to bed to sleep.
She watched as the man lay down first, saying nothing.
But as she lay down, the man’s large hand reached over.
It rested gently on her lower abdomen, and Mu Anhan turned her head to look at him, "It’s late, I’m tired."
This was a rejection!
Gu Xiaozhan definitely picked up on it!
"I’m playing a lullaby for the kids." His fingers danced lightly on her belly, drawing out notes.
Mu Anhan closed her eyes, ignoring him.
But this man was not so obedient.
When his hand moved to...
Mu Anhan stopped him, looking at him calmly.
"What? Don’t want me to touch you?" Gu Xiaozhan provocatively curled his lips.
"The kids can feel it now, not suitable to touch." Mu Anhan knew he loved the kids most, using them as a shield.
Gu Xiaozhan gritted his teeth, certain she was doing it on purpose.
"What if I think it’s suitable?" he persisted.
Mu Anhan laughed without smiling, "Earlier I offered you, and you thought it wasn’t suitable. Now I truly feel it’s unsuitable, yet you find it suitable. Are you arguing with yourself?"
She unveiled his thoughts with a word, tearing away his disguise.
The woman’s sharp insight didn’t anger Gu Xiaozhan.
They remained in this deadlock, him insisting, her refusing.
"Are you mad?" he asked her.
Mu Anhan slapped away his hand, "Talk if you have something to say!"
She was speaking rhetorically, preventing him from probing her boundaries through touch.
