Chapter 25: Mr. Gu is Jealous After Tasting Flesh

Although Mu Shaochen was the third brother-in-law of the powerful Gu Xiaozhan, he was also Gu Xiaozhan's loyal subordinate.

At work, as long as his employees didn't make any mistakes, Gu Xiaozhan would never be cruel to them.

Yet, Mu Shaochen had just accepted the job and had not even begun his investigation. Why was Gu Xiaozhan so fierce in his dismissal?

Gu Xiaozhan's bark startled Mu Anhan.

Did her third brother do something wrong?

In the past, she would have blindly defended her third brother and hastily dealt with Gu Xiaozhan in the form of severe reprimands and would have told him off to high heaven.

But today, she did not.

Mu Shaochen understood why Gu Xiaozhan suddenly lost his temper. He gently put down his coffee cup and respectfully said, "Right away, Mr. Gu. I'll get it done now."

He pushed the switch that moved his electronic wheelchair and left quickly without a word to the confused Mu Anhan.

The study door closed, and the aroma of coffee filled the air.

Although Mu Anhan did not understand why Gu Xiaozhan suddenly behaved like this, she still chose to believe in him. She knew this man loved her so much that he often went crazy, so it probably had something to do with her.

"Hubby..." Her soft voice tinkled, breaking the cold silence in the study.

Gu Xiaozhan picked up his coffee cup. Even that simple, silent motion exuded grace and nobility.

"Your coffee is original; I didn't add sugar." Mu Anhan said to appease him.

She had checked with Butler Zhu Chen earlier to find out his preference and learned that he always drank black coffee.

Although it was bitter, Gu Xiaozhan liked it!

Gu Xiaozhan's tempestuous face calmed when she showed knowledge of his preferences. But he could not simply let it go and said, "You're not allowed to brew coffee for anyone else in the future." 

Mu Anhan finally understood. Was he possessive of her to that extent?

Could she not even brew a cup of coffee for her blood-related brother?

"But he's my third brother," Mu Anhan tried to clarify, "my biological older brother."

Gu Xiaozhan's sharp eyes cut to her. "Not even for my own son!"

Somewhere in Tianqin villa, Gu Yao sneezed. Someone must be talking bad things about him behind his back! 

"Alright!" Mu Anhan agreed.

His insane possessiveness prompted him to take all measures to ensure that she belonged to him and only him in all aspects. What a paranoid man!

Mu Anhan found it endearing and decided to spoil him. She thought that the more she pampered him and catered to him, he would love her even more!

She picked up the untouched cup of coffee meant for Mu Shaochen and was about to take a sip, but the man interjected in a deep, husky voice, "You can't drink that!"

Mu Anhan's hand trembled in surprise, almost spilling the coffee.

Gu Xiaozhan held his cup to her lips. "You can only drink from mine."

Mu Anhan frowned slightly. It was so bitter. How could she drink it?

"Hubby, it's very bitter," she protested in a small voice.

"Didn't you always drink your coffee black?" Gu Xiaozhan furrowed his sharp, sword-like eyebrows.

Mu Anhan looked at him with a wide gaze. Yes, in her previous life, she did like black coffee, but later on, she changed her tastes to defy Gu Xiaozhan.

Because he enjoyed black coffee, she insisted on adding sugar, despising any similarities between them.

Zhou Jingyi also influenced her change. He had said that she was coffee and he was sugar and that they were a perfect match when they melted together.

Zhou Jingyi had such a silver tongue that Mu Anhan figured he must have been a poet in his past life who drowned in the honey that he spewed somehow.

Mu Anhan accepted the coffee cup and took a small sip. Her eyes sparkled when she looked at him. "Hubby, will you not drink?"

Gu Xiaozhan noticed a drop of coffee on the corner of her lips. Her pink tongue parted her soft lips and licked it away gently.

Although it was a subconscious reflex, the action made Gu Xiaozhan's blood boil.

"Give it to me." He needed the bitter coffee to suppress the fire threatening to overtake his body.

Mu Anhan handed it over obediently. She could not resist muttering as she was about to leave the study. "This man has just tasted flesh but still gets jealous..."

Before she could reach the door, a pair of rough hands gripped her slender waist and yanked her back. Gu Xiaozhan forcefully held her against the desk.
