Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 904: Mr. Gu Is Here Too

Mu Anhan frowned, "Is there any connection between Yang Lili and her?"

"No, I couldn’t find any relationship between them," Xue Xiangtong said. "Maybe the murderer acted randomly! I’ll go take that child for some snacks, she’s so pitiful."

Gu Yao and Gu Yu took out the snacks from their backpacks and handed them to Xue Xiangtong to give to the little one.

"How about you play with her for a while?" Xue Xiangtong suggested.

"Sure!" Gu Yu nodded.

The siblings went to play with Tang Xiaotang. She was a bit shy but was willing to join them in games.

Mu Anhan watched them, unscrewing her water bottle and taking a small sip. Just as she turned her head, she saw Firebird was there too.

The encounter was so unexpected that Mu Anhan wasn’t mentally prepared for it.

If she hadn’t known about his mother’s passing, she wouldn’t have shown much emotion.

After all, human sorrow is universal, just like human joy.

Firebird, on the other hand, was very calm; he was past the emotional stage.

He understood that since Mu Anhan was anonymous, she didn’t want to meet him.

So why should he insist on exposing it?

"We’re here to see Tang Xiaotang," he said mildly.

Mu Anhan nodded, "It’s best to let her see a psychologist, I’m worried she might be left with emotional scars."

"I’ll ask Xue Xiangtong to arrange it later," Firebird agreed with her.

Both fell silent, as if there was nothing more to say.

Firebird took out a cigarette but noticing the women and children around, he put it back.

"Don’t go out at night, be sure to stay safe." Out of countless words, he could only condense them into this one sentence.

"I know." Mu Anhan nodded, "Be careful with your investigation as well, take care of yourself."

Firebird felt warmth in his heart, "Alright."

Soon after, as Mu Anhan was leaving with the children, Gu Xiaozhan drove up.

"Dad..."

"Dad..."

Gu Yao and Gu Yu dashed over to him, throwing themselves into his arms.

He picked up one child in each arm. The kids were excited, "Dad, how come you have time to pick us up today?"

"Dad, Dad, I want to play the claw machine..."

The kids chatted away one after another, and Gu Xiaozhan glanced at Mu Anhan, "Let’s head out first!"

"Okay!" Mu Anhan got into the car.

Xue Xiangtong and Tang Xiaotang stood by the car, watching as the Gu family’s car drove off, she said, "Seeing Han Han so happy, I’m truly happy for her."

Firebird remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

"What? Do you always become so absent-minded after seeing your goddess?" Xue Xiangtong teased him.

Firebird glared at her, "I wish you’d focus more on the case."

Xue Xiangtong stuck her tongue out quietly, "Got it."

...

In the car.

Because they were picking up the kids, Gu Xiaozhan had the driver bring out the spacious family car.

The children were in the back, playing with toys and chatting.

Mu Anhan and he were sitting in the second row of seats.

"Han Han, why did you suddenly decide to pick up the kids?"

"Honey, why did you suddenly come to pick up the kids too?"

She didn’t realize it, but Gu Xiaozhan was displeased seeing her and Firebird there together.

After Mu Anhan’s retort, Gu Xiaozhan was quite justified, "Isn’t it natural for a father to pick up his kids?"

"Does that mean it’s unnatural for a mother to pick up her kids?" she retorted.

Gu Xiaozhan leaned closer to her, "Why is the detective captain also here?"

Little theater:

Mr. Gu: I’m jealous, but I won’t say it, I want my wife to pamper me.
