Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Both Gentleman and Beast

Sure enough, what was meant to come always comes.

At the time, Mu Anhan was eager to explain for him and didn't even consider the consequences.

Now, Gu Xiaozhan began to settle accounts after the autumn.

However, she could respond calmly: "Honey, hasn't the news already been broadcast? I saw the news and found out that way!"

For some reason, Gu Xiaozhan instinctively felt that she was lying.

If she really knew about the news broadcast, she would've mentioned it on the spot, rather than clutching her little fists helplessly.

In the end, it was he who asked the servant to turn on the TV to watch the news.

How did she know so much detail? It was exactly the same as the evidence Mu Shaochen received!

Hacker Old A?

A thought flashed through Gu Xiaozhan's mind. She was Mu Shaochen's biological sister, and before she got married, she was closest to Mu Shaochen, who indulged his sister lavishly. Did she learn computing from Mu Shaochen?

But later, when she became pregnant, he forcibly married her, and since Mu Shaochen was his confidant, she stopped being close to Mu Shaochen.

Because she hated him, she also extended her anger towards Mu Shaochen.

This incident with hacker Old A, but clearly, his young wife isn't opening her heart to him, she simply doesn't want to talk about it.

He then correlated Mu Shaochen's defense of hacker Old A, thinking these two siblings are playing tricks right under his nose?

"Honey..." Mu Anhan gently tugged at his sleeve, his eyes remained fierce, locked onto her as if he was eyeing his prey.

What is he thinking? Is he suspecting her?

Mu Anhan knew, with her limited skills, she was hardly worth mentioning in his eyes.

Gu Xiaozhan seemed to believe what she said, "Let's eat!"

Mu Anhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, unaware that Gu Xiaozhan had long seen through everything.

He held her hand and led her to the dining table.

He gentlemanly pulled out the chair, allowing Mu Anhan to sit first.

Mu Anhan felt at that moment the man was truly charming, both gentlemanly and elegant, and the feeling of being pampered by him was amazing!

But little did anyone know that beneath the gentlemanly exterior, the man was an outright wolf!

She gave him a sweet smile, "Honey, you sit too."

Gu Xiaozhan sat down beside her, one strong arm dominantly positioned on the back of her chair.

Gu Yonglei and Pei Wei sat opposite them, weren't these two rumored to be at each other's throats? Didn't Mrs. Gu always attract negative attention to Mr. Gu?

Why, then, at the banquet, were they so sweet and affectionate?

At the dinner table of the elite, eating was akin to chewing wax.

Mu Anhan's appetite was certainly not good; despite facing gourmet delicacies, she had no mood for enjoying the food.

Fortunately, the man beside her knew her favorite dishes, and while casually chatting with others, could still accurately serve them into her bowl.

After dinner, Gu Xiaozhan was held up by family members, and Mu Anhan went out to the yard for some fresh air, taking out her phone to play a game.

"Aunt…" Feng Siling was the granddaughter of the head family; her mother was the eldest daughter of the family, married to a wealthy oil merchant from country A, making her the treasured gem of both the Gu and Feng families.

Now 18 years old, it was not just that she wasn't as pretty as Mu Anhan, but she was a few years younger and yet her skin was not as delicate as Mu Anhan's.

Feng Siling's eyes did not conceal the jealousy she felt towards Mu Anhan!

"Siling, do you need something?" Mu Anhan couldn't believe that such a young lady would willingly approach her.

Feng Siling tilted her head arrogantly, "I heard Aunt is a talented artist; the area outside Grandpa's house is a great place for sketching. Aunt, come paint a piece with me!"

"I'll tell Xiaozhan." Mu Anhan replied.

"No need, Uncle and Grandpa are discussing state affairs! No need to bother him with such a little thing!" Feng Siling simply didn't give her the chance to go see Gu Xiaozhan.
