Chapter 1357: Carrying Her

After Pei Zhe finished speaking, he looked at Gu Xiaozhan.

“Why are you looking at me? What she did has nothing to do with me,” Gu Xiaozhan snorted displeasedly.

“She joined an organization under the guise of being your girlfriend.” Pei Zhe felt that at this point, there was no need to hide anything.

Gu Xiaozhan snorted coldly, “I never acknowledged her as my girlfriend; it’s nothing more than her own presumptuous actions.”

Mu Anhan grabbed his hand, “Pei Zhe is only mentioning this to give us a way to handle it, not to imply you did anything wrong. Lu Lu harbored ill intentions long ago; there’s no need for you to be angry. Besides, I’ve always believed in your feelings for me.”

“An Han is right!” Pei Zhe nodded in agreement.

“I told Yu Hao last time that it was the last time I would plead,” Gu Xiaozhan said, “So this time, I won’t let her off.”

To dare harm the woman he loved most, it wouldn’t be excessive to tear Lu Lu into pieces.

Mu Anhan sighed lightly, “But Mr. Lu over there…”

“National security threat charges are inescapable for anyone,” Pei Zhe said gravely.

He and Gu Xiaozhan exchanged a glance; these two men, who typically didn’t see eye to eye, at this moment had the same thought for Mu Anhan’s sake.

No matter whether it’s the Lu Family or the Li Family, anyone who harmed Mu Anhan shouldn’t expect to escape punishment.

The three of them continued walking outside together.

Mu Anhan stopped, leaning against a tree to catch her breath.

Gu Xiaozhan crouched down, “Get on, I’ll carry you!”

“I can still walk,” Mu Anhan hurriedly said, “You should conserve some energy; we don’t know how long it will take to get out…”

Before she finished speaking, Gu Xiaozhan reached out and picked her up.

“You…” Mu Anhan blushed.

“If you won’t let me carry you, I’ll just hold you,” Gu Xiaozhan said.

Mu Anhan buried her face in his neck, “Just carry me for a while. I’ll have the energy after resting for a bit.”

Gu Xiaozhan responded quietly, “Okay.”

Pei Zhe saw them deep in their affection, and he led the way in front.

“It’s getting dark. If we don’t get out by tonight, we’ll need to light a fire on the spot. An Han, what do you think?” Pei Zhe asked her.

It’s known that no matter what he asks Gu Xiaozhan, Gu Xiaozhan would always oppose him.

But asking Mu Anhan was a different matter.

Mu Anhan, still in Gu Xiaozhan’s embrace, replied, “Sure! If a rescue team comes searching, they’ll easily spot the fire to find our direction.”

After she finished speaking, she said to Gu Xiaozhan, “Xiao Zhan, put me down now!”

Gu Xiaozhan obliged and looked around, seeing only red leaves and no other wild fruits to eat and stave off hunger.

“You rest here; Pei Zhe will gather some dry branches, and I’ll go hunt some wild game.”

Mu Anhan nodded, “Don’t go too far, both of you.”

She leaned against the tree and sat on the ground.

Pei Zhe and Gu Xiaozhan walked away together, heading to do their tasks nearby.

Mu Anhan looked at the towering trees, covering the sky, as the last rays of sunlight were about to disappear.

Suddenly, she felt as if she were in a secluded paradise, cut off from the world, without the city’s noise or surrounded by concrete and steel.

However, if not for being in danger, who would come to such a beautiful place?

While she was thinking wistfully, Pei Zhe had already gathered dry branches and returned, starting a fire.

“An Han, come! It’s warmer over here.”

Mu Anhan stood up and walked over briskly, “The forest is indeed quite cold at night!”

Pei Zhe took off his suit, preparing to…
