Chapter 14: She Is Her Husband's Antidote

Even under the influence of the most lethal aphrodisiac, Gu Xiaozhan managed to hold on to his consciousness in his ice bath.

He was such a powerful man. Otherwise, he could not stand at the peak of power and wealth, the epitome of almighty. 

But what was the matter with this woman? Did she not always want him to die sooner?

This way, she would be able to escape from under his thumb and fly freely.

Why was she screaming and shedding tears for him, begging him not to die when he was merely under the influence of an aphrodisiac?

Was there something wrong with his hearing, or was Mu Anhan's acting too good?

"Get out!" Gu Xiaozhan initially thought he could still bear it, but after this woman threw herself into his arms, his willpower slowly crumbled to dust.

"I refuse!" Mu Anhan hugged him tighter. "Hubby, I will not leave you..."

With her soft, pliant, and fragrant body in his arms, the battle of willpower against the drug started to disintegrate. Gu Xiaozhan pulled her arms from his neck and held her shoulders, facing her directly.

Mu Anhan shivered; she was scared out of her wits. She saw his red eyes, the color as terrifying as if blood flowed endlessly within them. Were these the legendary demonic eyes? 

There were rumors of Gu Xiaozhan being a demon everyone feared, but this was the first time Mu Anhan had seen such a horrifying side of him!

Her pupils dilated and constricted rapidly, her fear almost palpable in the air. Gu Xiaozhan couldn't help sneering, the disgust directed at himself.

Yes, he was a monstrous demon that struck fear into people's hearts and made them tremble. Of all the people in the world, he had never wanted Mu Anhan to see this side of him.

And she was indeed afraid! He could smell the fear radiating from her.

Mu Anhan soaked in the ice water. She shivered from the cold, her teeth chattering. The grip of his palms on her shoulders was too tight and hurt.

Yet, she still reached out and hugged him gently again. Her pretty lips trembled as she said, "Hubby, I want to keep you company..."

It was like when she died in her previous life, and he stayed by her side in the crystal ice coffin.

"Do you know what happened?" Gu Xiaozhan's scary red eyes were piercingly cold despite their heat.

Mu Anhan shook her head. She had no idea. "No matter what happens, I will not leave you alone."

"Damn that Tang Haolang!" Realization dawned on Gu Xiaozhan. He must have tricked Mu Anhan into coming here!

When he released Mu Anhan, she shuddered against the cold so hard that she lost her balance and fell forward into the big bathtub, accidentally touching his hot iron.

Mu Anhan finally understood that he was drugged.

She gaped, stunned to the core!

There hadn't been such a melodramatic plot in her previous life, and it was too shocking in this life!

As Mu Anhan fell into a stupor, Gu Xiaozhan stared at her petite body soaking in water. He had already lost control.

He lifted her out of the water, then strode purposefully toward the bed. Nothing could stop him now.

He threw Mu Anhan onto the soft, luxurious bed. In the time it took for her to blink from the fall, he had already pressed down on her. His heat enveloped her entire body.

His kiss was ardent with fervor, sealing her lips with his…

...

After an unbelievable night, Mu Anhan woke up in the afternoon the next day, having slept the morning away.

She lazed in bed. Even moving her fingers was tiring!

Gu Xiaozhan's vigor was too abnormal!

Last night, he had almost ripped her apart in bed.

Even so, the future seemed bright and full of promises for Mu Anhan. She wanted to be by his side forever, even if the seas dried and the stones crumbled, until time itself no longer existed.

It suddenly dawned on her that in her previous life, she had never slept in his bedroom.

She looked up and saw their wedding photo hanging on the wall.

She wore a gorgeous white wedding dress with a translucent veil and flowers in her hair. She was beautiful but empty and unwilling; her eyes shuttered off.

Gu Xiaozhan's handsome face was noble and arrogant, but his eyes expressed an unspeakable glory as if he soared high in the clouds like he could brave any strong wind or waves, and no one could bring him down.

He stood behind her and looked at her from the corner of his eyes. There was a rare tenderness there that he had never shown anyone else.

It was a great pity that Mu Anhan had been stupidly blind in her previous life and never realized what she had until she lost it.

The thought made her eyes well up with warm tears. Her heart broke over and over again for his pain and for the life they could have had.

Soundlessly, the door swung open. Gu Xiaozhan entered the bedroom and saw her crying wretchedly.
