Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

That night, the topic of why Pei Zhe had changed his original appearance instantly shot to the top of the trending searches.

These past few days, his past and present relationship with Mu Anhan had already become a favorite topic of conversation among the public.

Although the trending tag had been taken down, this time the issue concerned Pei Zhe, and it was also exactly what all citizens wanted to know.

One photo showed him at about twenty, still youthful and inexperienced; the other showed his calm, composed look now as President.

The two faces were worlds apart—anyone could tell at a glance they weren’t the same.

Since Mu Shaohan was single, he was also living in the President Mansion for convenience.

As soon as he received this news, he immediately went to ask for Pei Zhe’s instructions.

”Mr. President, may I ask...what should we do now?”

Pei Zhe had just taken a shower. He’d had a little to drink and looked a bit lazy, the sharp edges he had during the day softened: ”Let it be.”

”But this should be something Huo Yiwen put out!” Mu Shaohan frowned. ”Should we give Mr. Gu a heads-up? After all, this is something that damages Your Excellency’s reputation. Our press office definitely has to issue a clarification.”

”No need.” Pei Zhe lit a cigarette. ”Even if it wasn’t Huo Yiwen leaking this, there’s still Zhang Yiweng, Li Yiweng and the rest. Just let it ferment for now. Go back and rest; we’ll talk tomorrow.”

”Yes, sir!” Mu Shaohan couldn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

After he left Pei Zhe’s residence, he sent a message to Mu Anhan: [Little sis, are you asleep?]

Mu Anhan was already at Tianqin Residence, lying in bed and scrolling through gossip news.

Gu Xiaozhan was in the shower; the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

[Fifth Brother, not yet. How is the President?]

She had also seen the online talk about Pei Zhe’s drastic change in appearance. She’d been curious back then too, but he had never said anything.

But Mu Anhan knew he wouldn’t change his face for no reason; he must have gone through something.

Now that others were using this to attack Pei Zhe, it wasn’t hard to imagine how things might spiral out of control in the future if this couldn’t be contained.

Mu Shaohan: [The President is fine. He says to ignore what’s online for now.]

Mu Anhan understood that Pei Zhe wasn’t flustered about this, but Fifth Brother definitely had his own thoughts.

[Fifth Brother, Xiao Zhan is a reasonable man. Don’t worry.]

She also guessed that if the one who leaked the news was Huo Yiwen, would Gu Xiaozhan get involved in this?

If Pei Zhe and Huo Yiwen went head-to-head, which side would Gu Xiaozhan stand on?

Mu Anhan always believed that Gu Xiaozhan would stand on the side that made sense.

Even if he’d lost his memory and been injured, he was still that man whose original intention had never changed.

Mu Shaohan: [Got it. Little sis, go to bed early.]

[Fifth Brother, good night!]

She put down her phone and looked at the man walking out of the bathroom.

This time, Gu Xiaozhan didn’t come out wrapped only in a bath towel; instead, he was fully dressed as he walked over.

The two of them lay down in bed together, neither of them sleepy.

”Do you want to do some prenatal education for the kids?” Mu Anhan asked him.

Gu Xiaozhan looked at her. ”The best prenatal education is that you should be sleeping at this hour.”

”Fine.” She muttered and burrowed into his arms.

Gu Xiaozhan raised his hand and patted her back, urging her to sleep.

Mu Anhan soon fell asleep, but in the middle of the night she woke up hungry.

So she went downstairs to look for something to eat. Zhu Chen had left some servants on night duty, and they cooked a bowl of beef noodles for her.

She held her phone, browsing the news while eating the noodles.

The discussions online were growing more and more heated...
