Of course, Gu Xiaozhan could not ignore Mu Anhan's stare that followed him avidly. She did not hide her admiration and love at all.
She was extraordinarily lively, very different from the usual image she portrayed around the house in the past.
Even though Tang Haolang said it could be due to her head injury, Gu Xiaozhan had his doubts.
Mu Anhan kept looking at him and forgot to eat her porridge. When Gu Xiaozhan's handsome face passed by close to her, she smiled. "Hubby, you're so handsome!"
The corners of Gu Xiaozhan's lips twitched slightly in amusement. In the past, she would not even look him in the eye!
But now, she was like a young fangirl, her eyes sparkling with passion. She was even willing to be with him last night. What a change!
"I'm going out for a while. Behave and stay at home." Gu Xiaozhan spun on his heel after speaking, ready to leave.
"Hubby..." Mu Anhan called out to him.
Gu Xiaozhan had ravished her so ferociously last night that she was thoroughly worn out and choked on the word. He stopped in his tracks and turned back. She ran to him, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him softly on the lips. "A parting kiss," she said.
After kissing him, she stopped being a nuisance and resumed eating the seafood porridge.
A flash of tenderness shot across Gu Xiaozhan's eyes like a shooting star.
When Mu Anhan finished her food, she changed into a high-collared dress and walked out.
"Madam, you are not permitted to leave." Zhu Chen suddenly appeared and spoke respectfully.
Of course, Mu Anhan knew that without Gu Xiaozhan's permission, she would not be able to take a step out of the Tianqin villa.
This man... She chuckled in amusement. In her previous life, his favorite pastime was to imprison her, not giving her even an inch of freedom.
She had enjoyed butting heads with him, but that was when she had wanted to escape his suffocating clutches.
"Butler Zhu, I'm not going out. Call Tang Haolang over. I need to change my dressing." Mu Anhan smiled.
Zhu Chen was a reserved and steadfast man. Although he could tell that Mu Anhan was different from her usual arrogant and domineering self, he did not show it.
"Of course, Madam! I'll make the call immediately."
Zhu Chen rang for Tang Haolang, who seemed to materialize from thin air a short moment later.
When he went upstairs to Mu Anhan's room to change her dressing, he saw her face was dark and clouded. 'Has the injury healed and her personality back to normal?' he thought fearfully.
"Madam..." He called, his voice trembling.
Mu Anhan only glanced at him coldly, not in a hurry to reply.
Tang Haolang silently stood aside, back straight in perfect posture. He dared not breathe.
He was not afraid of Mu Anhan's tantrums but Gu Xiaozhan's following punishments.
Gu Xiaozhan had the power to rule the world, but of all people, he chose to fall for a lawless woman who wanted nothing to do with him.
So, whenever Mu Anhan was unhappy, the people who brought on her displeasure would be severely punished by Mr. Gu.
"Dr. Tang, what do you think will happen to you if I tell Mr. Gu that you lied to me?" Mu Anhan giggled, and the eerie sound sent tingles up Tang Haolang's scalp.
Tang Haolang kneeled on the ground. "Madam, please have pity on me and spare my lowly life! When Mr. Gu woke up this morning, he whipped Lie Huo and me a hundred times!"
He lifted the hem of his clothes and showed his back full of crisscrossing whip marks.
Mu Anhan was stunned. She had only wanted to scare Tang Haolang into telling her who had drugged Gu Xiaozhan.
She never expected Gu Xiaozhan's punishment to be so nasty to the point of perversion!
Gu Xiaozhan had Tang Haolong and Lie Huo punished because they tricked Mu Anhan into his bedroom while he struggled with the powerful aphrodisiac.
No matter what Mu Anhan did, Gu Xiaozhan could never bear to hurt her.
During their four-year marriage, she had been unwilling to be close and never slept with him, so he had abstained like a monk for more than a thousand days and nights.
He was the handsome and charming Mr. Gu, the most powerful Mr. Gu, and millions of girls in the country threw themselves at his feet.
But he was only loyal to Mu Anhan!
