Chapter 992: Chapter 992: Embarrassed Expression
Mu Xing felt a bit lost, but still nodded, "Yes."
Though this matter is important, it’s clearly something Zhao Chen can handle.
She and Mu Bei usually help him with personal power and the affairs of Yaoye, but since returning from Rongcheng, her original tasks have been gradually handed over.
This time, she came to help Mr. Arthur with great effort, only to have her mission switched to the Shu Family’s issue.
She didn’t say anything, but inevitably felt a bit saddened, wondering if she had done something wrong, so that important matters were no longer entrusted to her.
After Mu Xing left, Arthur looked over with a peculiar gaze, "Mu Xing did well, didn’t she? This time I asked her to help, she’s much more enthusiastic than before, which is why the investigation was so quick. Apparently, her eagerness is because you might fire her, perhaps she’s feeling quite aggrieved."
Gu Annan said casually, "I don’t plan to keep her in this position for long; it was just a brief decision not to say anything, letting her adjust first."
"Why?" Arthur was more surprised at this change than seeing him flirting with his wife in the elevator.
"Too dangerous. You know Cesar is an extremely dangerous figure; even though he dared not cause any major commotion this time, it remains the most perilous." He explained nonchalantly, "Mu Xing has been trained for many years, but she’s a girl."
"Wait a minute, don’t tell me you’re being chivalrous toward women?" Arthur seemed to have discovered a new continent, "And you’re not one to belittle women. Don’t underestimate their danger level."
Gu Annan gave him a cold glance, "Mu Xing is persistent, but I promised Mu Bei long ago that if Mu Xing wanted to return to a normal life, she could at any time."
"Does she want that? Working so hard, she’s probably afraid of being discarded."
"She just hasn’t realized what she truly desires yet. This life of constant fighting was never her dream. If someone could awaken her, teach her not to cling to supposed gratitude, it might be a good thing."
Arthur initially wanted to scoff, how do you know what her dreams are?
Is having such a devoted assistant not enough? Married men with children seem to turn from cold-blooded to something like this?
Before he could even mock, the office door was pushed open.
He was about to ask who besides him had the audacity to enter without announcing.
"Daddy!" A bright voice accompanied by clattering footsteps came through.
Arthur turned his head and saw two little kids dashing in.
The secretary smiled, "Mr. Gu, Miss You told me not to announce, she wanted to surprise you."
Gu Annan nodded, picking up the running Little Youyou, "I understand."
After the secretary left, Little Momo walked in leisurely, curiously glancing at this person.
"Daddy, he’s the uncle from last time!" Little Youyou pointed at Arthur, her rosy apple-like face smiling brightly, "Uncle, did you come from the ’very far very far’ United Kingdom?"
Arthur sighed, clinging to that joke to mock him since the first meeting.
"Yes, uncle came all the way across mountains and waters to see you," Arthur shamelessly said.
"Uncle, you came by plane," Little Youyou reminded, "Tricking kids is wrong, shame shame!"
Arthur: "..."
He tried to make a shameful face.
"This must be Momo." Arthur clearly showed more interest in Momo, as this was the child recommended by Paul to elder brother...
