A man like Gu Xiaozhan, who had been in a high position for a long time, did not easily lose his temper.
Mu Anhan was his only weakness.
Her every move, even the slightest rustle of grass in the wind, could attract his gaze. She made him go from calm and rational to crazy and irritable.
A loud "bang" echoed.
The sofa in the bedroom shattered beneath his fist into a million pieces.
Mu Anhan jerked awake in shock. She thought there was an earthquake. What happened?
She had not expected to open her eyes to see Gu Xiaozhan's demonic red eyes flashing, fists clenched, the ground under his feet scattered with splintered remnants of the sofa. His usually handsome face distorted with murderous fury, and the room's temperature had dropped to a freezing degree.
She recalled these eyes from his drugged-up state from the aphrodisiac, the magical blood-red pupils terrifying. Did the aphrodisiac still affect him?
Perhaps because this man was too powerful, and his abilities were too strong, she instinctively feared him, as if the primal fight-or-flight mode engraved in her bones.
Gu Xiaozhan's entire being was like a raging tornado, wanting nothing more than to obliterate everything in his path.
Mu Anhan did not have time to think. She rolled out of bed and ran to him barefooted, imploring softly, "Honey..."
Gu Xiaozhan did not seem to hear anything. He glared at her like a demon from hell. The back of her neck prickled, and her hair stood on end.
Mu Anhan knew that she was the only one without cause to fear him. Everyone else should run from this beast, but not her.
Despite everything, she wanted to dote on him with all her heart!
Her fair, slender arms reached out and gently wrapped around his neck, leaning her small head against his chest. His manic force hit her in the face and almost choked her.
But gradually, her tenderness triumphed over his mania. She gently stroked his short hair and coaxed soothingly, "Honey... Relax, it's okay. I'm here; everything will be fine..."
Like magic, her soft murmurs in his ears cut through the tirade. The terrifying red in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his tightly clenched fists loosened.
Mu Anhan felt his mania evaporating little by little. She knew that her comforting worked, so she continued, "Honey, I'm your Anhan... In this life, I'm only yours... In the next life, I'm only yours... Let's be together forever, okay?"
Gu Xiaozhan closed his eyes. He must have been too tired recently, causing him to have hallucinations.
The woman who hated him the most gave him such an affectionate promise. It was impossible, yet it was such a lovely dream.
This life had not yet ended, but she had promised herself to him for her next life, as well as the one after that.
Perhaps promises were not credible because they were merely words spoken in the heat of the moment and not what they sincerely meant.
Although he knew the promise was a dream, he still calmed down.
He felt like he was floating away on the clouds, and she soared freely alongside him for thousands of years...
Someone knocked on the door twice.
"Mr. Gu, are you awake?" Lie Huo called out.
As Gu Xiaozhan's chief bodyguard, he had been with him through blood and death and knew him well.
Gu Xiaozhan was not a person who enjoyed sleeping. Why was he still not up at this hour?
He also knew that Gu Xiaozhan's only weakness was Mu Anhan. If that woman wanted to harm Gu Xiaozhan, it would be a disaster!
Gu Xiaozhan's eyes snapped open, and he returned to reality.
He scented a woman's fragrance that uniquely belonged to Mu Anhan. She snuggled up to him obediently, and her tiny hand stroked the back of his head repeatedly in soothing motions.
Mu Anhan noticed the change in his aura. She looked up, and her eyes met his deep ones.
"Good morning, hubby!"
Under Gu Xiaozhan's seemingly calm gaze, there were turbulent undercurrents. His eyes were extremely dark and distant like no light could ever penetrate them.
