Chapter 1087: Feeling Sorry for Mr. Gu
Mu Shaojie, after finishing work, saw Xue Xiangtong’s message, [Got it.]
Xue Xiangtong saw that he only replied with four characters and a punctuation mark. She pouted. That was too simple!
[Sixth Brother, is there anything you want to eat? I can cook it for you tomorrow!]
Mu Shaojie: [Haven’t thought of anything yet.]
Xue Xiangtong: [Sixth Brother, if you think of something, let me know.]
Mu Shaojie: [Mm.]
He put down his phone, took a car home, and remembered that Xue Xiangtong mentioned a delicious hot and sour noodles place, so he went to that shop.
Who knew, once he got there, he ran into someone he knew.
"You two are here too?"
Mu Anhan and Gu Xiaozhan were also enjoying the pleasure of ordinary life, waiting to eat the signature dish—hot and sour noodles—in a very popular noodle shop.
"Sixth Brother..." Mu Anhan called him to sit down, "Join us for a meal!"
Mu Shaojie saw Gu Xiaozhan enjoying a civilian life and thought this time, after hitting his head, some things seemed to have improved!
Of course, his willingness to mock Gu Xiaozhan hadn’t changed a bit.
"Gu Xiaozhan, you look a lot more spirited!"
Gu Xiaozhan just glanced at him lightly, "Han Han takes good care of me!"
"Of course, she does. She’s looking after the company for you, and she’s also dealing with all those rumors." Mu Shaojie said bluntly, "There’s nothing good about your Gu Family!"
"Sixth Brother, that’s enough!" Mu Anhan stopped him, "Eat if you’re going to eat, why bring up all this?"
Mu Shaojie snorted: "Old Qi said you love him without a shred of self-interest! See, he was right!"
Mu Anhan glared at him: "You and Brother Qi have always been two peas in a pod, but I won’t let you say such things!"
"Look at you, you’ve lost so much weight!" Mu Shaojie looked at her little face, "You don’t know how to take care of yourself. Some people have become fathers for the second time and still don’t know how to take care of their wives..."
"Just pack up and eat at home!" Mu Anhan urged him to leave.
Mu Shaojie took his share, "You think I want to eat with him! I’m leaving! Always siding with outsiders! Just seeing it annoys me!"
Mu Anhan watched his figure disappear, then turned to look at the expressionless Gu Xiaozhan, "Don’t mind what Sixth Brother says."
"He’s your brother. It’s right for him to worry about you." Gu Xiaozhan wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he sighed, "There are over ten siblings in the Gu Family, yet no one truly cares about me!"
Mu Anhan held his big hand, "You have me! And you have Yao Yao and Yu Er; we all care about you."
Gu Xiaozhan nodded, "I know, and I will take care of you all."
The waiter brought the hot and sour noodles, and the two of them ate the spicy noodles, sharing a smile.
Mu Anhan, while eating, messaged Xue Xiangtong: [Sixth Brother was mean to me today!]
Xue Xiangtong lay at home: [Why?]
Mu Anhan: [Maybe he’s unsatisfied in certain aspects?]
Xue Xiangtong: [Pregnant women talking risqué isn’t good for prenatal education.]
She then sent a dog head emoji.
Mu Anhan burst out laughing: [How are things progressing with you two?]
Xue Xiangtong: [No progress at all. It’s just the usual life, eating and breathing every day.]
Mu Anhan: [...]
Xue Xiangtong: [I heard people say that women over 25 are leftovers; should I start planning for myself?]
Mu Anhan: [What qualities do you need? I can introduce you to someone.]
