Chapter 223: Serving My Husband Well
Lie Huo has always been a lone wolf; he would never take a woman along with him.
Especially since this woman is Mr. Gu’s most cherished one; if even a hair is harmed, he couldn’t bear the consequences.
But he knows how to strategize — as long as he talks about the risks, Mr. Gu definitely wouldn’t let her take the risk.
Gu Xiaozhan’s face was as cold as ice, signaling for Lie Huo to investigate.
Lie Huo understood immediately and left the office right away.
Gu Xiaozhan looked at the woman pouting, still a bit unsatisfied. He finally understood; she said she wanted to follow him 24/7 because she was worried about the case.
In other words, she didn’t actually want to be with him 24/7.
Earlier, he felt happy because she was willing to spend time with him, but in a blink of an eye, the fox showed its tail. What should he do?
"Fine, I won’t go. I’ll go to sleep." Mu Anhan naturally noticed the Great Demon King’s strange expression and was about to run to the lounge.
"Come here!" Gu Xiaozhan put down the pen in his hand and said sternly.
Oh dear! How did Mu Anhan offend him again?
This is his territory; she can’t escape even if she wanted to, so she obediently walked up to him, "Hubby, what do you need?"
Gu Xiaozhan tossed a document to her: "Go proofread the errors and make corrections."
Mu Anhan looked at the densely packed blocks of text, all related to petroleum, and glared at him angrily: "You’re bullying me, someone unqualified!"
"Next, there will definitely be significant developments in petroleum. Didn’t you say you want to stay by my side 24/7? You need to understand it first." Gu Xiaozhan was serious.
Mu Anhan: "..." I’m so miserable!
The battle over petroleum is bound to break out, and she was hoping to help her big brother!
But clearly, Gu Xiaozhan was bullying her, knowing full well she doesn’t understand this field and still making her read it!
He’s clearly being petty and taking revenge on her!
Instead of taking the document, she hugged the man’s arm and coquettishly said like a little wildcat, "I truly want to be with you 24/7, but can you not make me tackle such specialized stuff? I can do other things!"
"Are you professional in solving cases?" Gu Xiaozhan retorted.
Sure enough, this man was still holding a grudge over what happened just now.
Mu Anhan quickly placated the great devil: "My specialty is wanting to take good care of my husband!"
"Take the document to the desk over there and proofread." Gu Xiaozhan was unmoved, still giving a forceful order.
Mu Anhan snorted softly and pinched his arm secretly. This man sometimes is really impervious to both soft and hard tactics, so be it!
She picked up the document and sat at the temporary desk prepared for her, beside him.
Her desk was temporarily set up, right in front of him, against the wall.
She sat down and started browsing the document, filled with specialized terminology, which was difficult and hard to understand. She felt her head spinning and yawned constantly.
She hadn’t slept much last night, and now holding the document, she soon dozed off on the desk.
Although Gu Xiaozhan’s eyes were on the document he needed to annotate, part of his attention was on her.
Her every move was all noticed by him.
When he saw her asleep, he thought how much their daughter Gu Yu resembled her.
Gu Yu never liked reading or writing since she was little, always falling asleep with a book, yet she has a smart little brain.
He got up, took off his suit jacket, and gently draped it over her.
But unexpectedly, he heard Mu Anhan muttering in her sleep: "Gu Xiaozhan, you’re such a jerk..."
