Chapter 1183: Master at Calming Children

"Baby, let’s wait a bit, don’t cry, we’ll have something to eat soon." Gu Xiao coaxed the little chubby baby in his arms.

Who would have thought that the little chubby baby seemed to truly understand him and stopped crying. Those big round eyes were darting around, seemingly looking for Mommy.

Mu An smiled, "You’re really good at calming babies!"

"If they dare to be naughty, I’ll spank their bottoms!" Gu Xiao snorted.

"You wouldn’t bear to do that!" Mu An said as she turned around and looked down at the fifth child who was munching away.

Gu Xiao’s gaze was fixed on her the whole time.

Even with her back to him, she could feel the unusual warmth.

Fortunately, the fifth child was very well-behaved, falling asleep right after eating in her arms.

Just when she was about to put the fifth child down, Gu Xiao was a step ahead, placing the fourth child beside her and taking the baby from her arms.

"You feed him first, I’ll take the fifth child to the nanny." He said, then walked out.

Mu An hummed a tune while feeding the fourth child. After she was done, the nanny came to take the baby to sleep.

She didn’t see Gu Xiao around, so she went to look for him.

...

Study room.

Gu Xiao was on the phone with Mu Shaochen.

"Mr. Gu, I’ve always respected you, but regarding my sister, you’ve gone too far!" Mu Shaochen said, "Today at the R&D department, I saw a figure that looked like my sister. After inquiring, it was indeed her. She just gave birth, and you let her go to work. Besides, the R&D department is particularly mentally demanding. Don’t you know, our mother once overworked her brain back in the day..."

Mu Shaochen choked up as he said this.

"Shaochen, I’m sorry! It’s my fault for not taking good care of An Han. I’ll give you an explanation for this matter." Gu Xiao rubbed his temples.

He never imagined that while he was so busy lately, Mu An had quietly gone back to work at the company.

The key issue is that with so many people at the company, no one informed him about this.

It was only out of Mu Shaochen’s brotherly protection that he found out.

He called Zhu Chen in, "The madam hasn’t been home lately?"

"The madam leaves a little after eight in the morning, comes back a bit past noon, has lunch, plays with the kids, and leaves again at two in the afternoon, returning by six in the evening," Zhu Chen immediately replied.

Seeing Gu Xiao’s cold expression, he added, "Mr. Gu, I haven’t confirmed where the madam actually went..."

Without Gu Xiao’s orders, he hadn’t investigated these things.

"I see, you may go now." Gu Xiao waved his hand.

He should have thought of it earlier, with the recent increase in speed in the R&D department, someone might be taking the lead.

But he didn’t expect that someone to be Mu An.

Someone knocked on the study room door: "Xiao Zhan..."

"Come in." He responded.

As soon as Mu An walked in, she saw the man’s cold and stern demeanor. Her heart skipped a beat, "Did something happen?"

She walked up to him, worried about him.

"Have you not been home these days?" Gu Xiao, though he already knew the truth from others, still wanted to hear it from her.

Mu An nodded, "It’s boring at home, so I went out to stroll around. Do you need anything? I can bring it back for you when I go out tomorrow."

Gu Xiao stared at her, pulling her into his embrace, "You’ve lost a lot of weight recently, is shopping tiring?"

"Think of it as exercise!" Mu An wrapped her arms around his neck, "Women are naturally creatures who love shopping!"
