Pei Bei instantly knew the aphrodisiac worked. She had spent 100 million on it! If it didn't work, she would have thrown a fit.
As expected, the aphrodisiac perfume produced by G&M was indeed worthy of its reputation.
However, Gu Xiaozhan was worth the price.
If she managed to get in bed with Gu Xiaozhan tonight, he would divorce Mu Anhan and ask for her hand in marriage instead.
As the future Mrs. Gu, she would not need to care about money. What were a mere 100 million dollars? Once she married and had a share of Gu Xiaozhan's 100-billion-dollar assets, her children would inherit his vast family fortune. She would have the world beneath her feet.
"Brother Zhan, are you unwell? Let me help you back to your room to rest." Pei Bei couldn't hide her excitement as she hurriedly went forward to help him.
Before she could get anywhere near him, Gu Xiaozhan turned to the person next to him and ordered, "Capture her!"
Lie Huo was startled. After all, she was the daughter of the president. However, seeing Mr. Gu's eyes burn like fire, he instantly understood something was wrong and obeyed.
"Brother Zhan, what did I do wrong?" Pei Bei cried as she got dragged away.
"You know what you did." Gu Xiaozhan spurned her. He instructed the butler to send the guests off before turning to go upstairs, clenching his fists to suppress his anger.
Butler Zhu Chen obeyed the order and began to usher the guests out of the banquet and meeting halls in an orderly manner.
The guests were confused at their sudden ejection since they hadn't even cut the children's birthday cake yet. But Mr. Gu had given the order, so no one dared to hang about. They left quickly.
When Pei Long entered the car, he realized that Pei Bei was not there and hurriedly asked Zhu Chen, "Where's Little Bei?"
"Mr. Gu is holding her captive." Zhu Chen said without inflection, his face expressionless.
"What?!" Pei Long was so angry that his beard trembled. "How dare he? Bring Gu Xiaozhan out here!"
"Mr. Gu is unable to meet anyone at the moment." Zhu Chen straightened his back. "Miss Pei drugged Mr. Gu's drink. Mr. President, you should return home first!"
Pei Long immediately caught his drift. Gu Xiaozhan had captured Pei Bei to use her as an antidote! If she kept this up, he would likely have a son-in-law soon!
"Tell Xiaozhan to come to the presidential house tomorrow!" Pei Long sat back, feeling satisfied. His chauffeur closed his door and got into the driver's seat.
"Yes, Mr. President!" Zhu Chen bowed and watched him go off in his car.
…
This time, Tang Haolang arrived within three minutes. He saw Gu Xiaozhan soaking in cold water, his body still burning hot and shaking.
"Where's Madam?" He stepped out of the bathroom and asked Lie Huo.
Lie Huo pointed at Mu Anhan's bedroom. He immediately understood what Tang Haolang meant to do. "If you value your life, don't even think about touching the Madam," he warned.
Mr. Gu was known to be cold and heartless, but maybe that was because he devoted all of his tenderness only to Mu Anhan.
"Mr. Gu's life will be in danger if he continues to hold on like this!" Tang Haolang grabbed Lie Huo's collar in frustration. "The designer of the G&M aphrodisiac perfume is a pervert! Only the designer would have the cure; not even I can help! How will we find the antidote if we don't even know who the designer is?
Lie Huo understood that if they used the Madam to soothe the Master, she might hate Mr. Gu to death, but Mr. Gu would live.
"Well? Are you going to invite Madam?" Lie Huo shook Tang Haolang off.
Suddenly, two knocks sounded at the door.
Mu Anhan opened the door, saw Tang Haolang, and smiled. "Dr. Tang, are you here to change my dressing?"
"Madam, Mr. Gu... His life is in danger..." Tang Haolang said and started to cry piteously.
"What?" Mu Anhan stopped, and her heart ached as if pierced by a sharp needle. The pain knocked the very breath out of her.
How could this happen? It was impossible!
She snapped out of her initial shock and pushed him away with one hand. "Where's Mr. Gu?"
At their indication, she ran to the bedroom and fell silent when she saw his proud head hung low, his body shaking weakly in the bathtub.
"Hubby... " Mu Anhan stepped lightly toward him as if in a dream. She had just been reborn. How could Gu Xiaozhan die so soon?
He was so powerful and was fine when she last saw him minutes ago. Who dared harm him in his own home?
She ran to the bathtub and jumped in without caring about herself. She put her arms around her husband's neck and shouted in panic, "Hubby! Hubby, please don't die...!"
