Chapter 1148: Yu the Great Controls the Floods
Five-star hotel.
Dinner is served, all top-notch dishes.
Pan-seared foie gras, black truffle, French country soup, steak, ham, lobster, oysters...
Mu Anhan had already arranged the fancy dinner when she invited everyone to the hot springs.
However, when four men arrived, she asked the waiter to double the portions temporarily.
Mu Anhan, bearing a child, was the first to leave the hot springs room.
When Gu Xiaozhan arrived, he brought desserts for her, and she was already quite full.
"Bring me something spicy next time," Mu Anhan said while eating, still discontented.
"Girls all love sweet things," Gu Xiaozhan had his own agenda.
Mu Anhan snorted, "Dream on! I prefer spicy food."
He still wanted to change her taste, dream on!
Xue Xiangtong and Mu Shaojie changed clothes and came over, only to see these two bickering.
"Mr. Gu, Han Han..." Xue Xiangtong greeted them.
"Sixth Brother, Tong Tong, come sit!" Mu Anhan welcomed them, "We’ll serve the food once everyone arrives. There are some snacks here, you can eat a bit if you’re hungry."
Xue Xiangtong, with a flushed face from the bath, ate some appetizers, "I must say, I’m really feeling a bit hungry."
Mu Anhan leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Were you working hard just now? Isn’t it usually the men working hard? Were you quite active too?"
Xue Xiangtong listened to her teasing without being bothered, "Haha, you smart one, this time you’re wrong. Six Brother and I are purely in a platonic relationship."
Mu Anhan gave an incredulous expression, "If I were a man, I couldn’t resist in the water..."
Xue Xiangtong was amused by her, "Six Brother and I are unconventional; we walk the path less traveled."
Mu Anhan: "..."
Just as she hadn’t finished exclaiming, a message notification sounded from her phone.
She took it out to see that it was sent by Gu Xiaozhan sitting beside her. She found it odd, glanced at him, then looked at her phone again.
[He’s definitely not capable.]
This "he" naturally referred to Mu Shaojie.
Mu Anhan kicked him under the table, [What do you know! He’s respecting the lady!]
Gu Xiaozhan: [Haha, like Yu the Great controlling the floods, passing by home three times without entering, is that respect?]
This man’s sharp tongue wasn’t just meant for business rivals; it was also handy in everyday bantering.
Mu Anhan: [Aren’t you also controlling the floods like Yu the Great?]
Gu Xiaozhan: [I’m empathetic to my wife’s hard work during pregnancy.]
Mu Anhan: [Hmph!]
Just then, Mu Shaochen and Zhang Shishi walked in.
Mu Shaochen sat down next to Mu Shaojie, while Zhang Shishi sat beside him.
"Mr. Gu, little sister, thank you for waiting! Sorry..." Mu Shaochen said apologetically, looking at them.
"Third Brother, it’s fine, Yu Hao and Feishuang haven’t arrived yet," Mu Anhan smiled and said.
Gu Xiaozhan suddenly asked, "Shao Chen, when are you getting married?"
This sudden question left not only Mu Shaochen stunned but Zhang Shishi as well.
Xue Xiangtong was eating, but her ears perked up to listen intently.
Mu Shaochen glanced at Zhang Shishi, "We’re not in a hurry."
"A relationship not aimed at marriage is just messing around," Gu Xiaozhan interjected.
The atmosphere at the table grew tense.
It’s well known that Mu Shaojie is in the non-marriage and non-reproduction camp; these words felt like a heavy blow to him.
Mu Shaojie’s face turned cold and grim, feeling as though Gu Xiaozhan’s words were targeted right at him.
