Chapter 1051: First Blood
When Gu Xiaozhan came out of the shower, he saw the woman on the sofa, covered with his white shirt, eyes closed as if she were asleep.
He reached out and picked her up, and Mu Anhan’s eyes snapped open. "I can walk on my own!"
The man glared at her fiercely. "You don’t want me to hold you?"
"I’m just worried about your wound," Mu Anhan muttered under her breath.
"The wound doesn’t matter." Even with a hole blown in his head, Gu Xiaozhan wouldn’t care.
Mu Anhan wrapped her arms around his neck. "The baby in my belly will grow day by day, we’ll get heavier and heavier. Will you still carry us then?"
"I will." His answer was firm and absolute.
His possessiveness over her grew stronger by the day.
She and the babies were all his.
He put her on the bed, and the two of them lay down together.
Mu Anhan couldn’t fall asleep for a long time; the scene from that night kept circling in her mind.
She didn’t know when she fell asleep, so much so that the next day when she woke up, she was already late for work.
When she woke up, Gu Xiaozhan was no longer by her side.
She washed up and went downstairs; Mu Anye was playing games in the living room.
"You’re not going to accompany Xiao Zhan for rehab?" Mu Anhan sat down to have breakfast.
"I’m just his doctor." Mu Anye snorted.
Mu Anhan: "...Aren’t you planning to open some research institute? If you don’t treat Xiao Zhan well, will he still invest in you?"
"I’m not going to be his bootlicker either!" Mu Anye was full of backbone.
Mu Anhan: "..."
She finished breakfast and got ready to get in the car.
Huo Yiwen had already arrived at Tianqin Residence. She got out of the car and glanced at her watch. "It’s already eleven, and you’re only going to work now?"
Mu Anhan was in a foul mood and ignored her, heading straight for the car.
"Mu Anhan, you stop right there! What kind of attitude is that?" Huo Yiwen scolded sharply.
Before Mu Anhan could say anything, Mu Anye had already sauntered out lazily. "Why is there a mad dog barking around here?"
Everyone fell silent.
Calling Huo Yiwen a mad dog—probably only this young master freshly back from abroad, Mu Anye, would dare.
Huo Yiwen really was about to be driven mad. She was the famous Fourth Madam of the Gu Family, and the mother of the all-powerful Gu Xiaozhan, yet some nobody of a man had just called her a mad dog?
"And what the hell are you? Daring to spout off like that here?"
Dressed in white from head to toe, whiter than snow, Mu Anye stood in the sunlight so bright it hurt the eyes. "So you’re the mad dog that’s been biting people all this time."
Gu Xiaozhan couldn’t curse out his own mother, and Mu Anhan couldn’t curse out her mother-in-law.
But what did Huo Yiwen have to do with Mu Anye?
He was going to curse this old witch to death!
Huo Yiwen was so furious she pointed a shaking finger at him. "You bastard! Men!"
The two bodyguards she’d brought immediately charged at Mu Anye.
They approached him from left and right, but Mu Anye didn’t move at all. When their fists were about to land on him, Mu Anhan’s heart leapt into her throat.
But between dragon-and-phoenix twins, minds were in sync.
She could feel that Seventh Brother wasn’t afraid; on the contrary, he was excited, a kind of bloodthirsty excitement.
"Swish! Swish!"
The two sounds rang out at the same time. No one saw how Mu Anye had moved, but the two bodyguards’ wrist arteries had already been slit open, blood spraying from their wrists.
They each clutched their own wrist, not daring to step forward again.
Not only were all the members of the Gu Family stunned, even Huo Yiwen was dumbfounded.
Only Mu Anhan leaned against the car door; she’d long known that Old Qi’s skills were extraordinary, and indeed they were.
