Everything Mu Shaochen does to show his affection for her comes through his actions.
Zhang Shishi is really worried that if this goes on, she’ll definitely fall for him.
She brought the teapot of tea Mu Shaochen had prepared over to the barbecue table and poured everyone a cup, "Everyone, have a sip!"
"Shi Shi, you’re always so thoughtful!" Xue Xiangtong took her cup, "I need some too. Otherwise, when the captain finds out my voice is hoarse, he’ll think I lost my voice yelling to catch thieves."
Zhong Wen teased her, "Perhaps the captain will think you lost your voice after spending the night with your dream guy."
"Hahaha, I wish I could have such a privilege. Where’s my dream guy? Come find me now!" Xue Xiangtong laughed.
Mu Anhan was sipping on chrysanthemum loquat tea and pinched her, "Stop dreaming and get to work. When you’ve got nothing to do, instead of dreaming about that, wouldn’t it be better to aim for a promotion and raise?"
"You’re like a well-fed person who doesn’t know a hungry one’s plight. You’ve got a husband accompanying you every night, unlike me with a lonely pillow and restless nights," Xue Xiangtong jumped away.
Zhang Shishi laughed, "Let’s have some tea and leave! Let Han Han and her husband enjoy their alone time!"
"Alright, alright, we’re leaving; we won’t be a nuisance." Xue Xiangtong said before leaving, a bit puzzled, "Why haven’t I seen the kids?"
Mu Anhan chuckled, "I knew Chu Wanqing was coming, so I had the children taken out to play."
She didn’t want Chu Wanqing’s attention to turn to the kids. Seeing Chu Wanqing constantly acting out today made that clear.
"Be careful of that green tea," Xue Xiangtong nodded, "We’re off!"
After Zhang Shishi and Zhong Wen also said their goodbyes, Tianqin Residence fell silent.
Because Gu Xiaozhan had a phone call, he went to a secluded spot to answer it.
When he finished and returned, everyone had already left.
Only Mu Anhan was still leisurely eating the roasted meats from the barbecue stand, "Honey, do you want any?"
Gu Xiaozhan shook his head helplessly, "You eat so much, be careful or you’ll end up with a sore throat tomorrow!"
"I’ve got a secret remedy for that." Mu Anhan winked at him and did a little seductive twist with her great figure.
The flame in Gu Xiaozhan’s eyes burned even hotter than the one on the barbecue grill, and he asked expectantly, "What is it?"
Mu Anhan deliberately kept him hanging; she knew exactly what he wanted to hear.
He definitely wished for her to say that he was the secret remedy.
But she wouldn’t say it.
She waved the chrysanthemum loquat tea in her hand, "Of course it’s this!"
Gu Xiaozhan: "..." He felt like throwing out all the chrysanthemum and loquat in the house tonight!
Why doesn’t she need him when he’s right there?
She just had to insist on using chrysanthemum and loquat to reduce the heat!
That’s just irritating!
"Honey, you seem to have a lot of fire too!" Mu Anhan poured him a cup, "You should have some too; don’t let your throat start smoking tomorrow."
Gu Xiaozhan didn’t take it and instead said meaningfully, "I think exercise is the best way to relieve heat."
Mu Anhan felt like there was more to his words, she chuckled, "Honey’s right! I’ll go change into my workout clothes, we’ll go jogging in a bit!"
Just as she turned around, he grabbed her wrist.
"Honey, let’s talk nicely." She quickly started to act coy; she’s provoked this man, and now she has to deal with the consequences.
Gu Xiaozhan’s nature, when you can’t read his mood, tends to be cool and collected, making him hard to see through, "Come on, let’s go change into sports attire together!"
