Chapter 1218: Collision of Souls

Mu Shaochen put down his work and pulled her to sit on the sofa, "You’re not here just to ask me who I like, are you?"

Mu Anhan told him about Mu Anye implanting a chip in Gu Xiaozhan.

Her eldest brother is far away exploring oil at sea, while her second brother is at the space station in space. She knows her third brother is steady and considers the bigger picture.

"What? Is Old Qi crazy?" Mu Shaochen’s smile disappeared completely.

"He’s just a madman!" Mu Anhan leaned powerlessly on the sofa.

"What does Mr. Gu think?" Mu Shaochen frowned.

Mu Anhan sighed, "He said he needs to think about it."

Mu Shaochen analyzed for her: "Han Han, let’s put Old Qi’s crazy actions aside and go through this line."

"Alright." Mu Anhan listened attentively.

Mu Shaochen said, "Mr. Gu used to act on his own, whether it was state affairs or family matters, he was the sole authority."

Mu Anhan nodded, "Now he considers the country’s interests and people’s happiness, and even if Fourth Uncle makes a mistake, he wouldn’t let it slide."

"Regarding this aspect, which Mr. Gu is more welcoming, we all know," Mu Shaochen didn’t need to elaborate, knowing it’s the latter.

Mu Anhan’s long eyelashes trembled slightly; what about his feelings for her?

Mu Shaochen continued, "In terms of feelings, he used to have a strong sense of possession over you, and if there was a mishap, he would become obsessively insane."

"Now, he’s gentle and gentlemanly to me," Mu Anhan felt a bit desolate, "but I always feel there’s a lack of the soul collision that two people should have."

Mu Shaochen was stunned...

He didn’t know much about feelings either.

He had only ever been in love with Zhang Shishi and had been hurt before. He knew how much he longed for the woman he loved most to be with him.

And now, a chip implanted by Mu Anye has turned Gu Xiaozhan into a well-liked nice person.

But what about the real Gu Xiaozhan?

"I’ll scold Old Qi later. Whatever you decide to do, your third brother will support you." Mu Shaochen added.

Mu Anhan nodded.

"Han Han, I can also understand Mr. Gu’s thoughts..." Mu Shaochen continued, "I’ve been hurt before, and I also wanted to change myself to face the woman I love most."

"Third Brother, I understand." Mu Anhan stood up.

This might be why Gu Xiaozhan is reluctant to remove the chip!

He’s probably also afraid of turning back into that old self — obsessive and prone to fits of rage, which would push Mu Anhan further and further away.

That evening, Mu Anhan and Gu Xiaozhan returned together to Tianqin Residence.

This weekend is the hundred-day banquet for the triplets, and both of them are busy.

Almost all the nobles and business leaders in the Imperial City attended that day’s hundred-day banquet.

The three plump little darlings have started to look a bit different; some inherited Mu Anhan’s delicacy, others Gu Xiaozhan’s handsomeness.

Gu Yao and Gu Yu were promoted to brother and sister. They weaved through the guests, particularly delighted.

Gu Xiaozhan emerged holding Mu Anhan’s hand, dressed in a perfectly tailored bespoke suit. Joyous events befell him, making him appear even more charming and graceful.

Due to the chip’s influence, he no longer had that previous sharpness but was like a weathered boulder, exuding a stable and especially reliable feeling.

Mu Anhan wore a red dress as if she were a flame. With her tall stature and ten-centimeter heels, she could easily look down on many male guests present.

She remembered the last time such a grand gathering occurred was during the birthday banquet for the dragon and phoenix twins when she had just returned to life...
