In the bedroom.
Mu Anhan laid in bed, reading today's news on her phone. After a while, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, the sky gradually brightened, and the birds outside the window chirped. It was a new day, cheerful and promising.
Mu Anhan stretched lazily and found the bed next to her empty. The other side had not been slept in.
She sat up straight. Did Gu Xiaozhan not come back to sleep last night?
Did he purposely not come back to his bedroom because she was in it?
Or was he busy with work and stayed in the study all night?
She quickly washed up, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and rushed to the study.
The door to the study was left ajar. Mu Anhan gently pushed the door open and saw a thick stack of documents on Gu Xiaozhan's desk. He was asleep in his black, luxurious office chair.
He had set the air conditioner to the lowest temperature, and Mu Anhan shivered as she entered.
She saw that he wore only a black shirt with his tie loosened and casually hung on his neck. The first button on his neck was undone, revealing his sexy collarbones.
In her previous life, she had never observed him so closely.
Now that she had the chance to stare, she felt that Gu Xiaozhan was really the most handsome and charismatic man in the world!
Although he was asleep, his posture was that of a leopard, sleek and ready to pounce.
Wasn't he...tired?
Mu Anhan took his suit jacket from the hanger and gently draped it over him.
At that moment, his large hand shot up and grabbed her wrist. His strength was such that she could not wriggle free at all. Her small wrist was in danger of snapping!
His suit jacket slipped to the ground. Although it barely produced a sound, Gu Xiaozhan, vigilant even in his sleep, awoke.
"Hubby, it's me..." Mu Anhan furrowed her brows in pain.
Gu Xiaozhan opened his eyes and peered at the pretty girl before him. She wore a white T-shirt and navy blue jeans, her hair tied up in a bun, and a pair of sandals. She looked like a youthful college student.
If she hadn't called him hubby, he would have thought he had turned back time to when he first met her in her youth.
Gu Xiaozhan let go of her wrist. She was delicate, and her wrist turned red from the hard grasp.
She wasn't his enemy; why did he use so much strength?
"Hubby, it hurts..." Mu Anhan took the opportunity to act coquettishly and put her small white hand in front of his eyes.
Gu Xiaozhan just woke up, but his sharp eyes that could see into people's souls burned. "Don't you know that you can't tease men in the morning?"
Mu Anhan's face instantly turned bright red!
He saw through her.
She puffed up her cheeks in anger, like a cute little pufferfish, and retaliated, "Don't you know that a woman's hand is very delicate?"
"What do you want?" Gu Xiaozhan's tone carried a sense of helplessness.
She was acting like an unreasonable child, even more mischievous and clingy than Gu Yu.
"It won't hurt anymore if hubby blows on it!" Mu Anhan continued to act cutely.
Gu Xiaozhan stared at her coldly. He didn't mind if she acted coquettishly if she truly loved him. However, he felt like she came to him with an ulterior motive.
Mu Anhan waited for a long time, but he did not move.
"Tsk! If you don't want to, then just say so!" She pouted, and just as she was about to withdraw her hand, he grabbed it again.
But this time, he didn't put any power behind the grip.
Calluses from past fights covered his rough hands. They were a stark contrast to Mu Anhan's soft, snow-white skin.
The warmth of the man's palm contradicted the coolness of her hand and gave rise to a strange feeling.
That numbing, ticklish feeling like pins and needles made her tremble slightly.
