Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 452: Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg

The two just looked at each other, completely ignoring everyone else.

Shui Chaoyu coughed lightly, "Brother Zhan, what should we do next?"

He wanted to quickly get his answer and then leave with Mu Chaohuan.

"Investigate in secret and see if anyone at the base has been swayed," Gu Xiaozhan said. "This oil base must not be taken lightly. Although we can’t guarantee everyone is trustworthy, we absolutely need to clean up when we encounter such things."

"Yes!" Shui Chaoyu prepared to leave.

"Also, block the news of this assassination. Carry on with your usual duties!" Gu Xiaozhan added.

Mu Chaohuan also reminded his younger sister, "Xiao Han, take good care of Mr. Gu."

"Brother, I will," Mu Anhan nodded. "Brother, take good care of yourself!"

Her older brother is loyal and kind-hearted. Despite his benevolence, he was taken advantage of.

Luckily, his current work is satisfactory, and the environment is reassuring.

After everyone in the room left, Lie Huo also stepped out and closed the door.

"Lie Huo, wait!" Mu Anhan called out to him, handing him a pill. "You exhausted a lot of energy and inner strength while healing Xiao Zhan’s wounds today. Take this to regulate your qi and strive to recover to your best state soon."

Lie Huo initially wanted to guard outside the door, still uneasy about the maritime base.

Gu Xiaozhan also said, "Increase the number of guards. You should rest well. Tonight, things should remain calm and peaceful."

After all, this is a heavily guarded maritime base. They might sway one or two people, but not all.

Lie Huo wished to stay behind but couldn’t go against Gu Xiaozhan’s orders.

"Actually, once you’ve rested and recovered, you’ll be able to devote yourself better to the work ahead," Mu Anhan reminded him.

"Yes!" Lie Huo understood.

The door closed once again.

Now Mu Anhan finally had a moment alone with Gu Xiaozhan. She held his injured hand, the strength she had just shown vanished in an instant. She whispered, "I’m sorry..."

"Why say that to me?" Gu Xiaozhan lifted her chin with his uninjured hand.

Mu Anhan gazed at him, her eyes filled with tears. "How could you not sense the danger coming if you weren’t looking at me? I shouldn’t have been so willful and come out with you!"

"Such a smart woman, yet foolish at this moment!" Gu Xiaozhan sighed. "If you weren’t here, my poison wouldn’t have been cured."

"But if I hadn’t come, no one could have harmed you!" Mu Anhan was stubbornly persistent.

Gu Xiaozhan pulled her into his arms. "Let’s not get into which came first, the chicken or the egg, okay? Things have come to this, let’s not dwell on it."

Mu Anhan nodded, leaning against his chest. Although he said that, she still felt sorry for him.

"Being a leader is so dangerous!" She reached out to stroke his chest.

Gu Xiaozhan laughed, "With this position, one must do something."

"Even if you do nothing, you’re still my good husband," Mu Anhan also smiled.

Gu Xiaozhan heard her say that, but how could he do nothing? There were so many things he had to do!

He stroked her exquisite little face with his large hand. "Are you cold?"

"Huh?" Mu Anhan didn’t react.

"If you’re cold, I’ll keep you warm," his voice was deep and magnetic.
