Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 376: Coveting

Feitian Island.

Mu Chaohuan never knew that on a small island, one could build something so luxurious?

Feitian Island isn’t big, but it’s very famous.

The officials and businessmen from the Imperial City love to spend time here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, with no supervision. It’s like a paradise for entertainment.

Casinos, horse tracks, shopping malls, karaoke nightclubs—it has everything one could wish for.

Mu Chaohuan and Pei Wei sat down in front of a newly opened tea house, but it was very quiet here.

Pei Wei poured him some tea, "I specifically had a tea house opened for you. This is the imperial tea reserved for the Imperial Palace throughout history, try it."

Staring out the window absent-mindedly, Mu Chaohuan nodded, "Actually, there’s no need to be so extravagant, coming such a long way just to drink tea! Besides, I have never been particular about tea leaves."

"You really don’t know how to enjoy life!" Pei Wei laughed, "Life is only a hundred years, swiftly passing by like a white steed."

"Yes, life’s only a hundred years, that’s why I value time more, I want to return to work!" Mu Chaohuan did not agree with his perspective, "Pei Wei, thank you for your hospitality, but I will leave tomorrow."

Pei Wei’s face turned a bit sour, "Didn’t we agree to deal with Gu Xiaozhan together?"

In Pei Wei’s view, Mu Chaohuan was Gu Xiaozhan’s brother-in-law. As long as Mu Chaohuan was willing to follow him, he not only thrived in the oil exploration field but could also exploit some of Gu Xiaozhan’s weaknesses.

But now, Mu Chaohuan was unwilling to cooperate with him?

"Publicly, he is the national leader. Even if you think he’s not a good person, that’s because of different political views. But the people of the Imperial City all say he’s a good leader. Privately, he’s my only brother-in-law. Xiao Han wants to grow old with him, so of course, I will bless Xiao Han." Mu Chaohuan was straightforward.

Before returning to the Imperial City, he had many prejudices against Gu Xiaozhan.

Those were all things others told him about how bad Gu Xiaozhan was.

But he knew, where is the voice most reliable? It comes from the people.

The Pei Family and the Gu Family are both significant figures in A country’s political arena. Their mutual strife is because of political interests.

Mu Chaohuan just prefers academic research, which doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand the nature of political interests.

Pei Wei wanted to explode with his temper but held it in, glaring sinisterly at Mu Chaohuan, "I’ll ask you again, have you made up your mind?"

"I’ve made up my mind." Mu Chaohuan nodded, "Please send me back now."

Pei Wei laughed heartily, "Since you’re here, you might as well enjoy yourself. Let’s head back tomorrow!"

"I don’t like playing around." Mu Chaohuan insisted on leaving, "I only like working."

"Too bad, there’s no boat back tonight!" Pei Wei said, sounding nonchalant.

Mu Chaohuan’s expression turned cold, "Pei Wei, are you doing this on purpose?"

"Oh?" Pei Wei crossed his legs arrogantly, clearly indicating it was intentional.

"You brought me to the island deliberately, just to stop me from going back?" Mu Chaohuan stood up, "You really have malicious intentions! If I refuse to cooperate with you, you won’t let me go?"

Pei Wei also stood up, "A wise man knows when to yield. If you change your mind now, I’ll send you back immediately!"

"Don’t even think about it!" Mu Chaohuan firmly declared, "A gentleman knows what to do and what not to do. I will not be threatened by you!"

Pei Wei put his hands in his pockets, smiling wickedly, "Back when we were in high school, how come I didn’t know you had such a beautiful sister?"
