Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Gu Xiaozhan had been in the hospital these past few days, so of course he knew exactly what the media had been reporting.

Even though Mu Anhan was holding the real power in the company, she never responded to all that messy gossip, and she would never use his name to throw her weight around.

She was just quietly doing solid work, waiting for him to come back.

A small paper like the New Emperor Newspaper actually dared to write about him dealing with the Gu Family’s second branch, and dump all the blame onto Mu Anhan—if no one was pulling strings behind the scenes, that would’ve been impossible.

He remembered that at this point, his relationship with his mother was still fairly peaceful.

It was only five years after he got married that things completely fell apart.

It was Huo Yiwen who called the second branch’s madam, Su Lianxin, to leak the story and smear Mu Anhan; she was also the one who instructed the New Emperor Newspaper to run it.

She just wanted to use the second branch to make the public form a bad impression of Mu Anhan.

But Mu Anhan stayed remarkably calm and didn’t respond in the slightest, which truly exceeded Gu Xiaozhan’s expectations.

In his eyes, twenty-year-old Mu Anhan was still a college girl; faced with such tangled, complicated matters, she would’ve definitely been impatient.

But he didn’t remember that these five years of marriage had given Mu Anhan a flying, meteoric成长.

Besides, when it concerned Gu Xiaozhan’s health, how could Mu Anhan possibly go deal with the media?

Still, Gu Xiaozhan couldn’t stand it and directly told He Feng to target the New Emperor Newspaper and get that reporter fired.

The other reporters, upon hearing this, realized Mr. Gu was still the same domineering Mr. Gu, and basically stopped asking questions.

Lv Feiya was among them. ”I’d like to ask Mr. Gu, since the acting CEO of Emperor Group is now Mrs. Gu, will you be involved in decision-making after you’re discharged?”

”Every decision Mrs. Gu makes is my decision. No one is allowed to question it,” Gu Xiaozhan said, each word firm and powerful.

Mu Anhan looked up at him, her gaze filled completely with love.

For the first time, Gu Xiaozhan took the initiative to pull her into his arms, kissing her hair.

There was nothing for outsiders to nitpick; this scene shot up the trending searches in no time.

Mr. Gu hadn’t lost his memory at all; instead, after going through hardship, the couple was even more in love.

In the car.

Mu Anhan received a text from Zhu Chen, saying the old master of the Gu Family and Huo Yiwen had arrived.

”Do you know how you usually address me in front of the family?” Mu Anhan looked over at Gu Xiaozhan.

”How do I address you?” Gu Xiaozhan played along cooperatively.

”Han Han.”

”Han Han?”

”Mm, call me that a few more times.”

She cupped her cheeks in both hands and gazed at him.

Gu Xiaozhan pressed his lips together and ignored her.

”Tch!” Mu Anhan snorted. ”Just don’t call me the wrong thing when we get home in a bit.”

...

Tianqin Residence.

When Mu Anhan, hand in hand with Gu Xiaozhan, came home, Gu Zhentao and Huo Yiwen were already there.

”Housekeeper Zhu, why didn’t you invite Dad and Mom to sit at the table and eat?” Mu Anhan asked as soon as she walked in.

Housekeeper Zhu replied immediately, ”The master and madam had already eaten before they came.”

Gu Zhentao and Huo Yiwen were drinking tea. Seeing their son come back, the two of them both stood up and went over to surround Gu Xiaozhan.

If the way Huo Yiwen had treated Mu Anhan when he’d just woken up made Gu Xiaozhan feel displeased—

Then this time, having Huo Yiwen direct the New Emperor Newspaper to smear Mu Anhan was something Gu Xiaozhan had personally investigated.

”What are you doing here?” Gu Xiaozhan’s tone was icy.

Gu Zhentao sighed. ”Xiao Zhan, your parents came to see you, since when do we need a reason for that?”

Before Huo Yiwen could open her mouth, Mu Anhan softly asked Gu Xiaozhan, ”Xiao Zhan, are you tired?”
