Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Study.

Gu Xiaozhan was dressed in a perfectly tailored suit that made him look even more striking, like a god, yet also so noble that he felt untouchable.

He immediately threw himself into work, as if that lingering intimacy with Mu Anhan just now had been nothing more than routine.

Today was the online meeting for representatives of export enterprises, and thanks to Gu Xiaozhan’s heavy investment recently, their export sales had been climbing steadily.

The focus was mainly on textiles, ceramics, auto parts, clothing, electromechanical products, communication products, and so on—mostly mid- to low-end goods.

The entrepreneurs attending the meeting were all very pleased; the market had been full of praise lately.

Although it was hard to break into developed countries like Country M, money is money no matter which country it comes from, isn’t it?

Everyone knew that Country M’s technology and finance had dominated for years; if we wanted to shake their position, we still had a long way to go.

Ma Changguang from the Ministry of Commerce also joined the meeting, and before it ended he encouraged everyone: ”Through arduous and extraordinary struggle, we will definitely be able to surpass the current superpowers. Thank you for your hard work, everyone!”

Everyone was very excited; the grand blueprint for our future felt almost within reach.

After the meeting, Ma Changguang had a separate video call with Gu Xiaozhan.

”Xiao Zhan, making you work overtime even on the weekend—thanks for your hard work!” Ma Changguang gave a small smile. ”Take some time this afternoon to be with your wife and kids!”

”You’ve worked hard too, Minister Ma.” Gu Xiaozhan nodded. ”I have to go to the company this afternoon and check how the chip R&D is coming along.”

Ma Changguang made a joke: ”You’re so busy, be careful Mrs. Gu doesn’t start complaining!”

Gu Xiaozhan: ”...”

After the meeting, Gu Xiaozhan took a sip of water.

He Gang had sorted out the documents and laid them on his desk. ”Mr. Gu, you really haven’t spent time with Madam in ages!”

”Mm.” Gu Xiaozhan nodded. ”I’ll just drop by the company this afternoon and then come back.”

He Gang: ”...”

Lunch.

Since it was the weekend, Gu Yao and Gu Yu were at home, and the four of them ate together.

The three little babies were still in the bottle-feeding stage, and the maternity nanny was looking after them.

”Daddy, you haven’t held me in forever!” Gu Yu hugged his leg and acted spoiled.

Gu Xiaozhan picked her up; he really was too busy, and had been neglecting his wife and children.

”Daddy, will you come fly kites with us this afternoon?” Gu Yu made another request.

”Daddy has to go to the company for a bit this afternoon. I’ll play with you when I get back, okay?” Gu Xiaozhan pinched her little cheeks.

Gu Yu pouted her tiny mouth: ”You don’t come back until midnight. Who’s going to fly kites in the dark?”

”Mommy and your brother will take you to fly kites, okay?” An Han said.

Gu Yao coaxed her too: ”I’ll make you a kite that won’t fall from the sky no matter how high it flies.”

”Okay!” Only then did Gu Yu cheer up.

After the meal, Gu Xiaozhan left by car.

Mu Anhan took the two children out; they went together to nearby Meilan Lake.

There was a golf course by the lake, and up in the hills the scenery was beautiful.

As they were passing by the golf course, someone in a car called out to them.

”Xiao Han, where are you taking the kids?”

Mu Anhan followed the voice and looked over. ”Fifth Brother...”

It was Mu Shaohan in the car. He got out and walked over. ”I just finished a round with the President.”

”Fifth Uncle...” The two children waved at him. ”We’re going up the mountain to fly kites.”

Pei Zhe got out of the car as well. ”Shall we hike up together?”

”Uncle Pei is coming too—more people, more fun. Yay, yay!” Gu Yu clapped her hands at once.
