Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Shameless Dark History
“Then go upstairs!” Gu Annan gave her a deep look, his face cold as he turned around to ascend the stairs.
Thinking of how Lu Wanwan had just behaved, he felt a sense of relief that she seemed to finally have a sense of shame. At least she now had some embarrassment, unlike before when she shamelessly went to buy adult videos, visited host clubs ‘to gain experience,’ and afterward still had the nerve to think it was no big deal.
Besides, why would she need that kind of stuff? Could it be that he wasn’t satisfying enough?
With that thought, his eyes darkened profoundly.
As soon as she entered the room, Lu Wanwan was unguardedly pressed against the wall.
Her lips were immediately sealed.
The struggle quickly became futile.
Her muffled dissatisfaction melted into that kiss.
But, hadn’t they already done that something in the morning…
“Xiaolu, why do you look so listless,” Tang Xiao noticed her leaning lethargically with her head on her hands in front of the desk, daydreaming, “Does a business trip tire you out this much?”
Lu Wanwan nodded fiercely in response, “Yeah, yeah, truly exhausting!”
“I thought a company-paid trip to Japan would be fantastic,” Tang Xiao said quietly, “but you work too hard. With people like Bai Lingyun, coming back empty-handed isn’t a big deal, yet you didn’t give up until the last moment, even at the cost of your looks!”
Lu Wanwan touched the swelling on her forehead, nodding weakly, “I really do push myself.”
Holding a mug full of hot tea, compared to accompanying Gu Annan, this mission regarding Bai Lingyun was nothing short of relaxed.
Even now, her mind still echoed with the hazy voice from yesterday, amidst the confusion she heard him say, “Do you still have the energy to be curious about things you shouldn’t see? If you take one more look at what you shouldn’t, don’t even think about getting out of bed…”
A shiver went through her, yet simultaneously, a strange sensation began to rise from the depths of her heart.
“You’ve got spring fever,” Tang Xiao waved a hand in front of her, “Bai Lingyun must be very handsome to have you come back looking !”
Lu Wanwan pushed her hand away, “Talking nonsense.”
She quickly pulled out a mirror to check, indeed her face was a bit red, her eyes shy with embarrassment.
It was just the swelling from the tea table accident yesterday that was displeasing to the eye, making her look a bit ugly.
“Wanwan, congratulations,” Yi Cheng just came from the editor-in-chief’s office and smiled at her, “You made the headlines again, and this issue’s article is already off to the press. I heard the competition also got wind of the news, but the person they sent over got sent back.”
Lu Wanwan knew ‘the competition’ referred to their rival publication, Star Headlines.
“I ran into them, and they got sent back?”
“They went straight to the hospital upon returning, apparently having been beaten up,” Yi Cheng looked at her head wound, “Are you okay?”
Lu Wanwan hurriedly smiled, “Of course I’m okay, this was just from me being careless.”
He gave her a somewhat strange look, nodded, and said, “Good to hear that. It might have been just an accident for them. Anyway, you’ve made a significant contribution this time, standing out even during your internship.”
The elder sister at the desk opposite Lu Wanwan gave a cool smile, “Yes, you’ll be the mainstay of our publication in the future!”
“Chen Jie, when Star Headlines overtook us, the headlines for those issues were written by you, right?” Yi Cheng laughed, “We still have to put effort in, the competition is fierce nowadays.”
Chen Jie rolled her eyes.
“Right, the editor-in-chief just mentioned that you can claim your flight ticket back,” Yi Cheng reminded her.
“I didn’t keep the itinerary, I won’t claim it; it’s fine.”
“I’m just about to head to the airport for some errands, so I can help you with that.”
Lu Wanwan could only make excuses, “Really it’s okay, thank you, I’ll handle it myself.”
