Mu Anhan naturally couldn't expect that just one gift could win back the children's affection.
However, she hoped to improve the mother-child relationship.
"Yao Yao, if you don't succeed before midnight, you have to promise one thing to Mommy, okay?" Mu Anhan suggested.
Despite Gu Yao being clever, he was still a three-year-old child mentally. He looked at her coldly, "What if I succeed?"
"To be fair, you can make one request of Mommy," Mu Anhan's lips curved slightly. The fact that he was willing to make a bet with her was progress.
"Okay." Gu Yao agreed straightforwardly.
As Mu Anhan just stood up, Pei Zhi pulled her into the shadows: "An Han, Jingyi came looking for you! Hurry and meet her!"
"I won't meet her." In her past life, Mu Anhan listened to these low-lives, leading to her family's ruin.
She was about to leave, but it was already too late.
Zhou Jingyi was already standing in front of her.
He wore a cream suit, his elegant face adorned with black-rimmed glasses, giving off a gentle spring breeze vibe, appearing scholarly and deeply bookish.
In her past life, Mu Anhan was deceived by his demeanor. This time, she had clearly rejected him during the plane crash, yet he dared to come to Tianqin Villa looking for her?
"Han Han..."
"Please call me Mrs. Gu."
Mu Anhan interrupted him coldly, "You have no right to be here, get out!"
Initially, Pei Zhi didn't believe Zhou Jingyi when he said Mu Anhan hit him and wasn't swayed by him anymore.
Now, seeing it with her own eyes, Pei Zhi started to believe some of it.
But, after years of manipulation, Pei Zhi thought she had succeeded, "An Han, aren't you afraid living with those two little devils? Jingyi is refined and knowledgeable, he can provide you the richest spiritual world."
"If he's that great, why don't you be with him?" Mu Anhan sneered.
Pei Zhi was stunned because she fancied Gu Xiaozhan, always wanting to trick Mu Anhan into cheating so she could rise up.
"We are good sisters, a good man should naturally be left for you." Pei Zhi immediately defended.
Mu Anhan looked down at her, half-smiling, having already seen through her lies.
"I would risk my life to save you, and for that alone, I wish you happiness in love and family harmony," Pei Zhi added.
In a past life, when Mu Anhan was 16, she fell into an icehole while skating. It was Pei Zhi who saved her, making Mu Anhan follow Pei Zhi's every word.
It was only after her death that Mu Anhan learned that the icehole was Pei Zhi's premeditated setup, intended to earn Mu Anhan's trust.
It was Pei Zhi's ace in the hole. Whenever Mu Anhan showed signs of resistance, she would bring it up.
Pei Zhi gave Zhou Jingyi a signal, and Zhou Jingyi immediately reached out to pull Mu Anhan into his arms.
If on such an important occasion today, the dignitaries of Country A witnesses Mu Anhan being unfaithful, would Gu Xiaozhan tolerate her?
Pei Zhi felt it was truly a case of perfect timing and opportunity, the best chance to ruin Mu Anhan's reputation.
Mu Anhan knew the ulterior motives of this deceitful duo all too well. She extended her long leg, spinning a full three hundred and sixty degrees, landing a kick on Zhou Jingyi's chest, sending him flying.
And Mu Anhan's red skirt continually danced and spun, as if it were a beam of red light, blinding everyone's eyes.
When she stopped, she realized someone had already been standing behind her without her knowing.
That person was none other than...
