Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Setting Her Husband on Fire

Gu Xiaozhan naturally noticed her gaze, but was she going to use him to hurt their son again?

Even though last night the two had been intimately entwined, who knows if she was playing some sort of deceitful game this time?

Just as Gu Xiaozhan's heart sank, he heard Mu Anhan speaking in a hoarse voice, "Yao Yao, mommy is sick..."

The moment she finished saying this, she discreetly observed Gu Yao's expression, realizing her son hadn't expected her to say that.

But the little guy was intelligent, "You've often pretended to be sick before."

Indeed, a mom with a history can't clean her slate easily.

Mu Anhan sighed silently to herself, now appearing feeble beyond measure, "Mom was wrong before, but today I'm genuinely sick. Listen to my hoarse voice, my whole body is weak, since last night till now, I haven't eaten a grain, boohoo..."

Her current frailty was all thanks to Gu Xiaozhan.

The beast-like fierce man was unrestrained and irrational last night.

But she was willingly accepting of it.

As she said this, she cautiously glanced at the man beside her.

She discovered his gaze was sharp as ever, and he was looking at her.

Even though she spent the night with him, this man was still full of a dual sense of coldness and sinister aggressiveness, intimidatingly formidable.

It seemed only when entwined with her, did he become as a vast furnace.

At that moment, he ignited at the slightest touch, as if an endless inferno burning fiercely.

Anyway, Rome wasn't built in a day, Mu Anhan dared not expect that sleeping with him after rebirth could solve all issues.

But this man standing by, Mu Anhan wouldn't allow it, she shifted her tone, "Yao Yao, if you don't believe, ask your daddy, is mommy really sick today? Daddy wouldn't lie to you!"

Gu Xiaozhan wished to stay out of it, but Mu Anhan wanted to drag him into the fire, how could she let him keep silent?

"Daddy, say something!" Gu Yao turned an inquiring gaze to Gu Xiaozhan.

Gu Xiaozhan looked at the woman beside him, when did she become a sly little fox?

Mu Anhan's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were still misty, as if her smile carried emotion, coyly yet slightly provocatively meeting his gaze.

It was known that Gu Xiaozhan held high prestige before the children; what he agreed upon, he always fulfilled.

The children also greatly trusted his integrity!

Before Gu Xiaozhan spoke, Mu Anhan discreetly reached out to pinch his lean waist, and lightly blinked her beautiful eyes, as if asking, won't your conscience ache if you don't help me?

This vibrant and lively woman was something Gu Xiaozhan had never seen post-marriage, his heart subtly moved.

No matter her intention, he wanted to indulge.

"Yao Yao, your mommy is genuinely feeling unwell." Gu Xiaozhan's voice carried innate paternal authority.

Mu Anhan said nothing but mouthed, "Of course, not considering who's to blame for it!"

Seeing her with a semblance of settling scores after autumn but also that kind of cute playfulness, a fleeting tenderness flashed in Gu Xiaozhan's eyes.

Mu Anhan meanwhile gazed at her son Gu Yao, missing Gu Xiaozhan's expression.

After all, Gu Yao was a child, and faced with Mu Anhan's show of weakness, coupled with Gu Xiaozhan's verbal account, he wasn't angry anymore.

"Yao Yao, mommy knows you're the best, you can definitely overcome the challenge, what do you want to ask mommy in return?" Mu Anhan immediately suggested.

Gu Yao sternly corrected her, "You're not allowed to drink anymore, and you must never throw us siblings into the trash can."

"Yes! Obeying Yao Yao's command!" Mu Anhan cheerfully raised her hand to salute.

As she said this, she paused slightly before adding, "In a few days when mommy feels better, I'll send you a harder Magic Box challenge toy, how about that?"
