Chapter 120: Chapter 120 The Tall Figure Approaches Her
Bai Lingyun’s sunglasses were so dark that no one could see where his eyes were looking.
Lu Wanwan wanted to say something more, but Gu Annan’s pace seemed not to stop, and he quickly added, speaking to Bai Lingyun, “I’ll give you space, I have other matters.”
She had no choice but to follow and leave.
Unfortunately, this was the second time today that she had missed an opportunity right in front of her eyes.
Gu Annan didn’t speak, but she could feel from his actions that he was determined not to let her stay.
Having moved some distance from the Garden Restaurant, Lu Wanwan looked down and noticed his hand still placed on her waist.
Before she could finish her sentence, the grip on her waist loosened, and his arm suddenly withdrew.
The next moment, his steps quickened, his long legs quickly leaving her behind. She wasn’t sure if she was mistaken, but even Gu Annan’s expression seemed to suddenly turn cold.
“Oh!” Lu Wanwan, pressing her temples with a headache, had no choice but to quicken her pace to catch up.
She finally understood that Gu Annan knew about her job, yet he tightly guarded her against approaching Bai Lingyun, surely because he did not want people to know his fiancée was a reporter from Zui Entertainment.
She blamed herself for not considering this earlier. Gu Annan, caring so much about the Gu Family’s reputation and even personally bringing her here to receive an apology after being bullied, how could he possibly let people know his fiancée belonged to a profession despised by high society?
“I thought so, the woman I just saw looked familiar; she is the person we were looking for!”
“Check it again… It’s really her! But surprisingly, the man by her side isn’t Bai Lingyun, but another man.”
Two men wearing white T-shirts with sneaky looks exchanged glances while looking at their phone, then turned back to look at Lu Wanwan as she walked away.
Kiyohara Aiko was in a bad mood, her father demanding her to again personally deliver a generous apology to Mr. Gu and his annoying fiancée.
She almost bumped into the two men who were walking without watching the road, only looking back.
“So annoying!” Kiyohara Aiko fumed.
The two men, upon hearing a phrase in Japanese, merely glanced at this Japanese woman and continued speaking indifferently in Chinese.
“Could the information be wrong? Wasn’t she supposed to meet Bai Lingyun in a hotel?”
“That can’t be right. Bai Lingyun has been confirmed to be here, and this woman has also appeared; how could the information be wrong. Maybe… There’s another explanation! The man just now by her side looked either rich or noble, no less significant than Bai Lingyun!”
Kiyohara Aiko suddenly stopped and quickly caught up, “Wait.”
Just as they realized what was happening, the phone they were opening the photo on was snatched away.
Just recently a suspicion, Kiyohara Aiko was now sure that these two, thinking she didn’t understand Chinese, were indeed talking about Mr. Gu’s fiancée!
“You, how dare you snatch something!”
With the phone in her hand, Kiyohara Aiko slowly curled into a smile, “I want to buy the information you were just talking about!”
Inside the villa suite, Lu Wanwan sat uneasily on the couch, occasionally looking towards Gu Annan.
Gu Annan was sitting at the desk, typing on his laptop, probably working.
Whenever she looked up, her gaze would perfectly meet his exquisitely handsome profile.
Bai Lingyun was currently at the Garden Restaurant, and under Gu Annan’s command that she couldn’t go anywhere without his permission, what excuse could she find to go out?
Her phone beeped once.
The message was from the editor, unsurprisingly inquiring about her progress.
While she was thinking about how to reply, Gu Annan suddenly stood up, his tall figure walking towards her.
