Chapter 1251: Pretending for a Moment

Pei Zhe and Mu Shaohan are drinking at the bar.

After finishing their work, they thought about having a drink together.

Just as they started, they saw Mu Anhan and Miao Feishuang, the two cousins, entering together.

Miao Feishuang picked up her glass and drank a cup of wine, and after drinking, she became bolder.

"Pei Zhe, how about you pretend to like me for a bit?"

Pei Zhe did not raise his eyebrows, "Talking nonsense again."

"I’m not talking nonsense; I already don’t like you," Miao Feishuang said, "I just want you to pretend a little and make Lu Yuhao mad."

Mu Shaohan said helplessly, "No need to go for His Excellency, it can be another man."

"You?" Miao Feishuang looked at him, "You’re my cousin, we have a blood relationship. Lu Yuhao wouldn’t possibly believe it."

Pei Zhe put down his glass, "For public interest, pretending to be your man would destabilize society; Vice Marshal Lu is wary of the army’s power. If he revolts because of this, the ones who would suffer are the common people."

"Tsk! Men always have the mindset that the sky would fall without them, engaging in mischief," Miao Feishuang said disdainfully.

Pei Zhe gave a moment’s thought, then said, "Personally, I have someone I like; I don’t want to pretend to like anyone."

"You still like Han Han, right!" Miao Feishuang pushed Mu Anhan, "Han Han is right here, you have a chance."

"Enough, you really are drunk," Mu Anhan reprimanded softly.

Miao Feishuang didn’t care, "Why can men party outside, and women have to guard an empty room? Han Han, give Pei Zhe a chance; without trying, how do you know if Pei Zhe is good or if Gu Xiaozhan is better?"

Mu Shaohan frowned, "Mr. Gu has a woman outside?"

"Don’t listen to her nonsense," Mu Anhan said while drinking, "It’s just Lu Lu making a fuss! Gu Xiaozhan knows what he’s doing; he can’t go against Mr. Lu’s face, right?"

Pei Zhe didn’t say anything, just silently drinking.

To prevent Miao Feishuang from saying anything too shocking, Mu Anhan mentioned work.

"Han Han, come on, we’re here to have fun, not to discuss work at the bar," Miao Feishuang protested.

The other three laughed together.

"By the way, you two men are always inseparable; is there some kind of bond developing?" Miao Feishuang raised her glass.

Pei Zhe ignored it.

Mu Shaohan frowned, "Feishuang, even if you’re fighting with Vice Marshal Lu, you can’t take it out on others, right? Take it easy, joking with me is fine, but not with others."

After all, Pei Zhe is currently the President and the highest authority in country A.

"I’m going to dance." Miao Feishuang ran off in a flash, then joined the crowd in the dance floor, dancing wildly.

"I’ll go check on her, to prevent her from being bullied." Mu Shaohan seized the moment and slipped away too.

So, at the table, only Pei Zhe and Mu Anhan were left, sitting face to face drinking.

"Is Gu Xiaozhan relying on Lu Lu because of the chip development issue?" Pei Zhe analyzed with her.

"That’s true," Mu Anhan said with a hint of loss, "I can do the research too, but he doesn’t use me."

Pei Zhe comforted her, "Get well first, and you’ll definitely be able to research more things in the future."

"Hopefully!" Mu Anhan nodded with a bitter smile.

After a few drinks, she leaned on the table, dozing off groggily.

Pei Zhe took off his suit jacket and covered it over her.

He looked at her face, lost in thought...
