Chapter 459: Strictly Controlled
The man at the entrance caught the attention of quite a few people when he walked in.
He was rather slender, even in winter, wearing a coat, he appeared thin, yet possessed a certain refined beauty.
His face, that rarely smiled, had delicate features, fair skin, and lips as elegant as cherry blossoms.
This was the appearance Xue Xiangtong liked, Mu Anhan sighed inwardly, he truly fit Xue Xiangtong’s preferences.
Therefore, even though Mu Anhan knew this relationship was a trap, she couldn’t stop Xue Xiangtong from falling into it.
"Sorry, I’m late!" Qin Ye Peng had already strode over to them, he nodded slightly to Mu Anhan, then spoke indifferently to Xue Xiangtong.
Perhaps that’s how it is with emotions, even when the other party is indifferent, there’s always one side who’s particularly passionate.
"It’s fine, it’s fine, Han Han and I were just chatting!" Xue Xiangtong’s eyes lit up the moment she saw him.
Mu Anhan said coldly, "Young Master Qin, making Tong Tong wait isn’t a gentleman’s way!"
"Indeed! I’ll punish myself with three glasses!" Qin Ye Peng immediately ordered some drinks.
He drank three glasses in a row, while Xue Xiangtong discreetly nudged Mu Anhan under the table with her foot, signaling her to drop the subject.
"Han Han, let’s have a drink together!" Xue Xiangtong raised her glass.
"I promised my husband, I won’t drink!" Mu Anhan smiled lightly.
Xue Xiangtong said, "You’re really under your husband’s thumb! Who comes to a party like this?"
"I can’t help it, my husband is quite strict!" Mu Anhan teased herself.
Qin Ye Peng had witnessed how Gu Xiaozhan doted on Mu Anhan, regardless of whether she was dressed as a man or a woman, that man wanted nothing more than to cherish her dearly.
But to say he controlled her? Is that so?
Qin Ye Peng didn’t respond, instead, a familiar voice piped up.
"They all say Gu Xiaozhan dotes on his wife to an incomparable degree, shouldn’t you be careful that his strictness doesn’t upset you?"
Pei Wei’s voice sounded in the ears of the three, he stood with his hands in his pockets, smiling broadly at them.
Ever since Mu Anhan learned that Pei Wei was the person behind Zhou Jingyi, she harbored deep hatred for the mastermind who caused her demise in her previous life.
But now that she and Gu Xiaozhan were one, with aligned goals, she naturally couldn’t take revenge on him alone.
So, Mu Anhan pressed down the hatred in her heart, and of course, gave him a cold glance.
Pei Wei didn’t mind, he directly took Mu Anhan’s glass of wine: "Since An Han doesn’t want to drink it, I’ll drink it, let’s not waste it!"
He seemed to be proving to Mu Anhan that there was nothing suspicious in the wine.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have drunk it like that.
"Alright, you’re picking up the tab." Mu Anhan didn’t stop him either.
Pei Wei was a very sensitive person, he felt that Gu Yonglei coming to the bar tonight must have something to do with Mu Anhan.
It’s usually women who think about catching someone in the act.
Could it be that Mu Anhan was interested in him?
He just found it odd, for four years since marriage, Mu Anhan had always been indifferent towards Gu Xiaozhan, so how suddenly had she become close to him?
He didn’t know the reason, but he hoped Mu Anhan would abandon Gu Xiaozhan and give him a second glance.
The four of them idly chatted away, then Xue Xiangtong needed to go to the restroom.
She had been gone for a while and didn’t return; even when Mu Anhan called her, there was no answer.
Worried for Xue Xiangtong’s safety, Mu Anhan quickly went to look for her near the restroom.
Who knew that when she got there...
