As for panic?
Gu Xiaozhan interpreted it as she might be worried about Mu Shaochen, or perhaps afraid he would investigate thoroughly.
Because she knows about the G&M perfume, maybe even related to her somehow.
Gu Xiaozhan now has two thoughts: Firstly, that she recommended the perfume to Pei Pei aiming to give him an opportunity to be around other women. Once he cheats, she could smoothly proceed with the divorce.
Secondly... this thought was bold, but he has always dared to think.
That the true owner of the perfume is... her!
When she was in college, she was obsessed with all kinds of perfumes.
If that’s really the case, she’s hidden it too deeply, even Mu Shaochen doesn’t know about it.
Yet on the night of the children’s birthday, he locked Pei Pei in the dungeon, and eventually, Mu Anhan came to him actively...
Could she be trying to use intimacy to achieve trust?
Actually, she doesn’t need aphrodisiac perfume to stimulate him; just a smile or a beckoning gesture from her can make him lose control even under normal circumstances!
Gu Xiaozhan felt the root of the issue still lies with the perfume, and he must uncover it.
He withdrew his gaze from Mu Anhan and focused on the documents on the large office desk.
Mu Anhan tossed the milk tea cup into the trash, feeling a bit distracted, not noticing Gu Xiaozhan’s gaze.
Seeing Gu Xiaozhan seriously handling the documents, she quietly returned to the lounge.
She picked up her phone, intending to send some valuable information to her third brother.
She saw a message from Su Peizhi; has this woman gotten out of the detention center?
Mu Anhan opened it, feeling furious!
This shameless white lotus, how could she be so malicious? How dare she send a message like that?
Her intimacy with Gu Xiaozhan was because she liked doing happy things with him.
She played with the kids and passed the buck to Gu Xiaozhan, because she also wanted to integrate into the family and bond with her husband and kids.
How was she to know her actions were interpreted by Su Peizhi as her wanting to leave Gu Xiaozhan and destroy his relationship with the kids?
Mu Anhan wished she could see Su Peizhi right away and give her a good beating!
Yet she thought again; Su Peizhi, this malicious fool, is large-breasted but brainless. Why would she send such a message now?
She has been detained all along, how could she possibly know about Mu Anhan and Gu Xiaozhan’s current situation?
Mu Anhan quickly calmed down; Su Peizhi was just a pawn, not scary at all, but who stands behind her was the real concern?
Mu Anhan wanted to find out, deciding to see Su Peizhi one more time.
She messaged Mu Shaochen: [Third brother, I’m helping investigate the G&M perfume designer issue, will inform you if there’s any news.]
Mu Shaochen: [Thank you, little sister, be careful with everything.]
Mu Shaochen was at a loss, didn’t know where to start since after the twins’ birthday party, the G&M perfume hasn’t been on the market again, let alone that mysterious designer!
Mu Anhan came out carrying her bag, "Honey, I’m going out for a bit."
Gu Xiaozhan looked up from the documents, "Where are you going?"
"Su Peizhi just got out of the detention center; I’m going to see her." Mu Anhan didn’t hide it; after all, he would track her itinerary.
Gu Xiaozhan’s eyes flicked across the contents of her phone’s floating window; it seems she indeed decided to leave him?
"What if I don’t let you go?" Gu Xiaozhan was scared, afraid she wouldn’t even want to act in the play with him anymore, just disappear completely.
