Gu Yao also wanted to comfort his mom, "After you eat the candy, mom, it won’t be so spicy that you’ll want to cry..."
After he said this, he was about to open the car door and go down.
Mu Anhan held him back, "Don’t go by yourself, we’ll go to the supermarket ahead together. We’ll buy lots and lots of candy, okay?"
"Okay!" Gu Yu called out first.
Mu Anhan looked at her two children, they were so smart and adorable, how could she bear to leave them!
The events from her past would never happen to her again.
Even though Pei Zhe was once the most important person in her life, that was all in the past.
What she needed to cherish was the present and the future.
However, she still wanted to find out what had happened with Pei Zhe, it was also an explanation for him.
After Mu Anhan steadied her emotions, she leaned against the seat, listening to the kids talking about what candies they wanted to buy.
She drove them to the supermarket, pushing the cart as the two children kept picking things and tossing them into the shopping cart.
Usually, Zhu Chen would do all the shopping needed for the house.
The kids rarely had the chance to go to the supermarket to play, so upon seeing the items there, they felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, seeing everything as novel.
"Babies, don’t run around, mommy won’t be able to find you later." Mu Anhan said.
Gu Yao and Gu Yu wouldn’t listen, the two ran to the knife-selling area and saw a lot of people gathered there.
The siblings squeezed through the crowd and went inside.
From afar, Mu Anhan saw a tall man holding a fruit knife in one hand and pressing it against a petite woman’s neck.
"Help!"
"Please save me!"
The woman cried as she spoke.
Someone in the crowd had already called the police.
Others were discussing.
"I heard that man is mentally ill, and the woman he kidnapped is his wife..."
"His wife doesn’t want to live with him, he wants to die together with her..."
Mu Anhan worried that the kids would be frightened if they ran in, so she hurriedly pushed the shopping cart, "Move! Please move aside! The police are here!"
The onlookers, upon hearing the police were coming, cleared the way.
Gu Yao and Gu Yu used their small stature advantage to run to the front. When they saw what was happening, Gu Yao quickly protected Gu Yu behind him.
"Yao Yao, take your sister and go back to a safe place." Mu Anhan said loudly.
Despite being small, Gu Yao reacted very quickly, especially since Gu Xiaozhan had arranged for someone to teach Gu Yao martial arts from a young age.
He was more skillful than many kids his age.
"Okay, mom." Gu Yao took Gu Yu’s hand and hid behind the shelves.
Mu Anhan pushed the shopping cart and charged directly at the man in front.
"Don’t come closer!" The man held the woman’s neck and kept retreating.
His knife was also poking at the woman’s neck, and blood was slowly leaking.
Mu Anhan saw the woman’s eyes filled with despair yet hope, she pushed the shopping cart with one hand and kicked at the man’s elbow holding the knife.
In a flash, the man’s elbow loosened, and the woman took advantage of the shopping cart’s rush to cling onto it and freed herself from the man’s control.
"Go over to the side." Mu Anhan told her.
The man held the knife and came at Mu Anhan again.
He was already blinded by rage, "Having a more beautiful woman accompany me on the road, I don’t lose out."
"That’s not up to you to decide!" Mu Anhan held a silver needle, dazzling as it flew at him.
