Gu Xiaozhan’s eyes, sharp like an eagle’s, flashed with a hint of mockery, "Mu Anhan, these dragon-phoenix twins are at least your own flesh and blood. Are you using them to beg me to let you go?"
"Husband, I just want to attend tonight’s birthday party." Mu Anhan lowered her posture as much as possible, yet her eyes courageously met his gaze.
She could tell earlier that the children were willing to accept her gifts.
She stayed up all night last night, crafting two gifts by hand in her room, hoping that the children would like them.
Looking at her eyes, Gu Xiaozhan no longer saw the old disgust and hatred; instead, they were as clear as a stream, pure without any impurities.
Could it be that she completely changed into someone else just because she had a hole in her head?
Gu Xiaozhan still had his doubts.
However, Mu Anhan stepped forward and gently took his arm, shaking it lightly, "Husband, the children are a part of me, I want to love them..."
As she said this, she recalled the scene from her previous life where the witch’s curse killed her, and her eyes filled with tears.
Gu Xiaozhan’s sharp eyes seemed to pierce through everything; he wanted to withdraw his arm, but to his surprise, she held on even tighter.
His body involuntarily stiffened.
Her soft body gently pressed against his strong arm; he was a healthy and vigorous man.
Although she was also 175 centimeters tall, which was the model standard height in the women’s circle,
standing in front of the 190-centimeter tall Gu Xiaozhan, she appeared small and delicate.
At this moment, as she continued to cry, it made him feel an urge to fiercely hold her in his arms and love her with all his might.
"Mu Anhan, if you dare pull any tricks at the birthday banquet, just see how I deal with you!" Gu Xiaozhan relented to her.
"Thank you, husband." Mu Anhan broke into a smile through her tears.
Seeing her switch from crying to smiling in a second, Gu Xiaozhan frowned; could she really be acting?
He pulled out his arm and left with large strides.
Mu Anhan happily ran back to her room, jumped onto the bed, and rolled around a few times. She needed some rest to look beautiful while celebrating with her husband and children tonight!
...
Six o’clock in the evening.
The birthday party officially began.
Prominent figures from the political, business, and military circles all appeared, especially with President Pei Long bringing his cherished daughter Pei Pei, who had just turned 18, signaling Gu Xiaozhan’s significant status in Country A.
Mu Anhan proactively linked her arm with Gu Xiaozhan’s, standing proudly by his side as the hostess.
The whole nation knew that Gu Xiaozhan was married and had a pair of dragon-phoenix twins, but they had never seen the children’s mother appear with him in public.
Even the likes of the president and top-level officials knew privately about the tense relationship between the couple, so they never mentioned it.
Wearing a red gown paired with high heels, her long, seaweed-like hair cascaded over her shoulders, her exquisite face was breathtakingly beautiful, stealing the spotlight with her aura.
After some brief greetings, Gu Xiaozhan was surrounded by Pei Long and others, discussing the current international situation.
Socialites who hadn’t given up on Gu Xiaozhan gossiped about how his wife didn’t love him, hoping to replace her.
Pei Pei, standing behind her father, looked on with admiration at the black-suited Gu Xiaozhan; he was flamboyant, domineering, superior, cool, yet exuding a forbidden allure.
Mu Anhan went to find her children, with Gu Yao engrossed in the Magic Box, while Gu Yu was assisting him.
"Mommy can help you pass the level." Mu Anhan crouched down and said softly.
Gu Yu immediately ran behind her brother, her big, watery eyes looked at her in fear, afraid of interacting with her.
Gu Yao’s eyes were cold as he refused her, "I can handle it myself, you can leave."
The cheeky boy, even daring to chase her away?
