Chapter 155: Chapter 155 The Affair Exposed Chapter 155: Chapter 155 The Affair Exposed Lu Wanwan hugged her chest with both hands and pushed him, “Move aside.”
The person blocking the way didn’t budge an inch.
Her tone softened, “Please let me through.”
Suddenly, the office door was heard being pushed open.
Then came the secretary’s flustered voice, “President Shao, you can’t…”
“I’m already inside, so what’s with can’t.” Shao Zhixing let out an indifferent snort, his gaze pausing as he caught sight of the office desk.
It really wasn’t the time to enter.
“President Gu, I’m sorry.” The secretary was close to tears, “I couldn’t stop President Shao.”
Gu Annan let go of her hands, her face turning cold and stern as she glanced disapprovingly at Shao Zhixing before telling the secretary, “I know, you may leave now.”
Lu Wanwan recognized him as the man she had seen at the Dijing Clubhouse that day, someone very close to Gu Annan.
That curiously prying gaze made her slightly uncomfortable; she quickly fixed her hair and collected the lunchbox from the desk, “I’ll be going then.”
Gu Anan responded with a low “Mhm.”
Lu Wanwan fled the scene.
“Lu Wanwan?” As she passed by Shao Zhixing, he suddenly smiled, the gleaming black of his eyes bright as stars, “We meet again. I’m Shao Zhixing, remember? We played mahjong together.”
“I remember, I remember.”
He smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, very handsome, “You made quite an impression on me. Let’s set up another game sometime, ask Annan to bring you along.”
Lu Wanwan just wanted to get out quickly, feeling like she’d been caught in an illicit affair, “Sure, sure.”
“Lu Wanwan.” Gu Annan’s voice rang out coldly, “Aren’t you going to leave quickly?”
Lu Wanwan immediately quickened her steps and left the office in a blink.
“Is this why the meeting was delayed?” Shao Zhixing raised an eyebrow, hands lazily tucked into his pockets, “Our old man always says you’re the most capable of our generation, someone who knows what he’s doing. Doesn’t seem like it, though.”
Gu Annan’s brows furrowed slightly, the displeasure from the interruption was clear on his face.
“Speak quickly if you have something to say.”
“Do we really need to talk about it? The meeting!” Shao Zhixing knocked on the desk, “I personally came for a meeting, and you’re keeping me waiting by throwing your weight around?”
Gu Anan dialed the intercom, asking the secretary to notify the meeting participants.
After hanging up the phone, he recalled something and looked up suspiciously, “You have time to personally attend a meeting?”
Shao Zhixing’s mouth twitched as if touching upon an unpleasant subject, “Nothing much, just bored. And hey, let’s go for a drink after the meeting.”
“I’m not free.” His voice was cold and dismissive without a hint of mercy.
“You are free!” he scoffed mischievously, “Because your fiancée is not available today, she’s been asked out.”
Lu Wanwan left the building, planning to hail a cab back to the newspaper office.
She suddenly saw a familiar figure on the side of the road, “Xu Yuan?”
“Wanwan? You’re here too!” Xu Yuan was about to enter the building when she saw Lu Wanwan and was taken aback, her hands clasped as if she’d seen a savior, “Wanwan, do you have money on you?”
Lu Wanwan saw her pitiful look, devoid of any imposing air, and jokingly said, “Got your wallet stolen, huh?”
“…I got robbed.” Xu Yuan rolled her eyes in anger, “Let’s not talk about it, it’s infuriating.”
“Really?” She could hardly believe it, “Who has the nerve to rob a wallet from your hands?”
“All I know is I’m penniless now, and I don’t have my phone either.” Xu Yuan’s mouth was skewed, apparently still upset, “Young Madam Gu, how about taking me out for a drink tonight?”
