Chapter 1091: Familiar Stranger
"Guess why he changed his identity?" Gu Xiaozhan leaned against the window.
Mu Anhan was somewhat surprised to see him discussing Pei Zhe so casually with her.
But she remained cautious, "Do you really want to discuss this topic with me?"
"Why not discuss it?" Gu Xiaozhan retorted, "Given the current situation, my mother, Pei Zhe, and us are in a tripartite confrontation, you can see that, right?"
"Of course." Mu Anhan speculated, "This situation is likely to last for a long time."
After she spoke, she realized he really wanted to discuss the current national situation with her.
She had once harbored petty thoughts, thinking he might be jealous or upset.
In their current tripartite situation, each side has its own territory. Without an alliance, any one side finds it difficult to shake the other two.
However... Alliance?
How could that be possible?
The best outcome is for each of the three sides to maintain well-being independently.
"I can’t guess why he changed his identity." Mu Anhan shook her head.
Gu Xiaozhan reached out and pinned her against the window pane.
He stared coldly down at her, and in that moment, Mu Anhan felt he was a bit unfamiliar.
"Are you worried I’ll deal with him? So you’re not telling the truth?" Gu Xiaozhan questioned her.
Mu Anhan’s face turned pale momentarily, "I haven’t. I know you wouldn’t deal with him!"
"Why would I not deal with him?" Gu Xiaozhan frowned slightly and asked.
"Xiao Zhan, Pei Zhe will be a good president; he’ll lead our country to rapid development. Your wish is also to elevate our country’s status internationally and allow our citizens to live happily. Your goals are aligned, why would you deal with him?" Mu Anhan reached out to grab his arm.
"Actually, I hate him!" Gu Xiaozhan stated bluntly.
Mu Anhan: "..."
"I’ve always refrained from acting against him for your sake!" Gu Xiaozhan laughed softly.
Mu Anhan was affected by his unpredictable emotions. She raised her eyes and stared at him blankly, "There’s nothing between me and him."
"I know." Gu Xiaozhan’s gaze fell on her abdomen, "You’re undoubtedly my woman, otherwise how could you give birth to five children?"
Mu Anhan seized the opportunity to hug him, "That’s good to know! I only bore children for you!"
"Tired?" Gu Xiaozhan picked her up, and the two of them sat down on the bed.
She nestled in his arms, her back leaning against his chest.
"Fall asleep now!" He lay down together with her.
"Do you know why Pei Zhe changed his identity?" Mu Anhan turned over to face him.
It was known that Gu Xiaozhan controlled the military, while Pei Zhe had served in the military before. Although he was Mr. Lu’s foster son, Gu Xiaozhan surely knew.
"Military secret." Gu Xiaozhan only told her those four words.
Mu Anhan reached out a finger to poke his chest lightly, "I still can’t tell?"
Gu Xiaozhan’s dark eyes stared intently at her, "It seems you remain quite curious about Pei Zhe!"
Mu Anhan: "... You’re twisting the idea."
In truth, she wanted to say that his feelings for her were insufficient, which was why he didn’t want to tell her.
But she knew that his brain injury meant those words could never be spoken.
If he were the Gu Xiaozhan who loved and spoiled her, he certainly wouldn’t say such things!
Even if he were jealous and angry, he would hold her tight and kiss her fiercely, or punish her aggressively, so she would understand that she mattered to him.
