Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 364: When Pretend Becomes Real

The two of them entered a private room, making it easier to talk freely.

"Let’s eat first and then talk," Mu Anhan ordered dishes that both of them liked.

In the hot weather, they ate spicy hotpot, sweating profusely while enjoying their meal.

"I couldn’t sleep well last night, kept wondering about the case. Come on, let’s talk while we eat!" Xue Xiangtong stirred the boiling food in the pot with her chopsticks.

Mu Anhan replied, "No rush, I don’t want to spoil the mood while enjoying the food."

Xue Xiangtong laughed, "Alright!"

Mu Anhan took a photo of their hotpot meal and sent it to Gu Xiaozhan via WeChat.

She figured it was better to voluntarily report her whereabouts than to have him constantly monitor her every move.

This way, he would be more reassured.

Sure enough, Gu Xiaozhan soon replied to her message: [Is this breakfast and lunch combined?]

[You understand me, hubby. Having a meal with Tong Tong.]

[Eat more vegetables.]

[Okay. You should have lunch too, hubby. I’ll head back to the office after eating.]

[Mm.]

She thought to herself, just agreeing with him for now, she wasn’t really going to eat more vegetables!

Having a rare chance to go out for hotpot, she definitely wanted to eat more meat.

Mu Anhan put down her phone and picked up the delicious meat slices to her mouth.

Xue Xiangtong saw her texting, "Texting your husband?"

"Yeah, just making him drool, watching me eat," Mu Anhan laughed, "improving the relationship between us."

Xue Xiangtong was speechless, "You’re really going all out with the act, must be exhausting!"

"I’m being sincere," Mu Anhan argued.

Xue Xiangtong clearly didn’t believe her, "You fought with him for four years, and suddenly you’re sincere? You can fool him, but don’t try to fool me! They say people in love have zero IQs. Tsk, tsk, tsk, even someone as wise and valiant as Gu Xiaozhan fell for your act, proving your acting skills are top-notch!"

Mu Anhan: "..." She couldn’t possibly say she lived another life and learned from her mistakes, could she?

Besides, her husband was a good man willing to wait for her!

But some things can’t be said; saying them would be too shocking, might even be illegal.

Oh well, let Xue Xiangtong think what she wants!

One day, she’d prove her love is real.

"Han Han, don’t worry, whatever you decide, I’m here to support you," Xue Xiangtong added, "and I’m willing to be your golden supporting role, ready to pitch in anytime, 24/7, to make every act perfect."

Mu Anhan nodded emotionally, "Thank you, Tong Tong!"

"Alright, don’t get all mushy," Xue Xiangtong waved her hand, "we grew up wearing the same dress; no need to be so formal."

Mu Anhan laughed, "You’re not wearing dresses anymore!"

"That’s because I don’t want to have a wardrobe malfunction while catching bad guys!" Xue Xiangtong laughed too, "But seriously, Zhou Jingyi is such a jerk! Gu Xiaozhan is so dedicated, and even though he’s positioned so high up that it’s intimidating, sometimes fake can become real, right?"

"My hubby is already the most loyal and devoted man in the world!" Mu Anhan snorted, "And the most capable one at that!"

Xue Xiangtong saw no difference in her between acting and reality, so she didn’t argue further, instead glancing at Mu Anhan’s chest.

Mu Anhan was wearing a floral long dress, showcasing the charm of summer vividly, with a mix of allure and innocence.

"Your hubby didn’t make a move last night?" Xue Xiangtong bit into the tripe, a mischievous smile on her face.
