Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Do I Need to Steal a Kiss from You? (2) Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Do I Need to Steal a Kiss from You? (2) If she thought that way, could it be too naive?
“Just wait outside,” Lu Wanwan, upon seeing the approaching figure, quickly sped up her chopping, “I’ll be fast.”
“It has been ten minutes, and you’ve only chopped a tomato?” Gu Annan, with his lips curling, “You don’t seem very hungry. Maybe we shouldn’t eat.”
He walked right up to her, pulling the knife from her hand.
Seeing that knife in her hand, the blade so close to her fingers as she even sped up her chopping, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
“Give it back to me!”
Having the cleaver snatched away, was this getting serious?
“That much chopping is enough,” Gu Annan placed the knife back in its original spot, “If you can’t finish in fifteen minutes, you’re just going to be hungry.”
She gave up the argument, feeling slightly resentful in her heart.
He was always doubting her ability to do things, thinking she couldn’t do anything right.
Just like when she showed him a French test with a perfect score, he even managed to look surprised, as though it were something extraordinary.
After four years, in his eyes, she was not only an academic slacker but had devolved into a fool who couldn’t manage even the smallest tasks.
Lu Wanwan immediately focused with all her energy and prepared two portions of delicious and fragrant pasta.
As she served them, Gu Annan was standing with his back to her, at the patio door on a call, the soft sunlit glow of sunset falling on him.
“Who leaked it, conduct an immediate investigation.”
“I’ll be right there!”
Gu Annan, apparently having an emergency, turned around, his brow deeply furrowed, “Eat by yourself, I have to go.”
“But you haven’t eaten,” Lu Wanwan’s tone was very disappointed.
“I have something to do.”
He moved quickly, but after a few steps, he stopped again, “I don’t want to come back and not see you, let’s have a good talk about earlier tonight.”
Lu Wanwan: “…” Was there really something good about earlier to talk about, why can’t we just forget it!
Sitting alone at the dining table, facing two portions of pasta, she suddenly lost her appetite.
After eating, she returned to her room and browsed her phone for a while.
Suddenly, she saw a news alert, “Mysterious heir of Gu Family spotted in a bar, fighting over a hostess.”
She quickly clicked on it, which stated that the heir of the Gu family had recently gotten into a brawl at a bar over a hostess and forcefully took someone away afterwards.
There were no photos in the news, but the whistleblower claimed to have pictures ready to be released at any time.
Lu Wanwan was shocked.
The bar’s name was omitted, but from the timing and description, it was the incident she experienced at Caesar’s.
It portrayed her, the victim, as a bar hostess and described Gu Annan as a reckless scion.
But if photos were released, some might actually believe the news!
When the time came, Gu Annan would be in a difficult situation, having to either reveal the truth or confirm the story in the news.
Lu Wanwan remembered that Gu Annan had been in control of the Gu family for less than a year and was easily questioned due to his lack of experience.
If the public mistook him for such a person, it would definitely affect the Gu family’s stock price negatively.
She guessed that Gu Annan’s sudden departure was also because of this incident.
She immediately opened her rarely used WeChat and found the blocked corporate group chat, which indeed had related discussions.
“Xiaoxiao, what’s with that news about Gu?” she immediately messaged Tang Xiao privately.
“Ah, don’t mention it, the editor-in-chief is regretful we missed this scoop, wondering why the whistleblower didn’t come to us?”
