As for panic?
Gu Xiaozhan interpreted it as she might be worried about Mu Shaochen, or perhaps afraid he would investigate thoroughly.
Because she knows about the G&M perfume, maybe even related to her somehow.
Gu Xiaozhan now has two thoughts: Firstly, that she recommended the perfume to Pei Pei aiming to give him an opportunity to be around other women. Once he cheats, she could smoothly proceed with the divorce.
Secondly... this thought was bold, but he has always dared to think.
That the true owner of the perfume is... her!
When she was in college, she was obsessed with all kinds of perfumes.
If that's really the case, she's hidden it too deeply, even Mu Shaochen doesn't know about it.
Yet on the night of the children's birthday, he locked Pei Pei in the dungeon, and eventually, Mu Anhan came to him actively...
Could she be trying to use intimacy to achieve trust?
