Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Call My Name (2) Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Call My Name (2) In her fluster, her finger accidentally slid along the edge of a shard.
Bai Lingyun quickly grabbed her hand out, “Never mind, someone will clean it up tomorrow.”
“Lu Wanwan!” Bai Lingyun let go of her, “It’s really fine. Someone will clean it up tomorrow, don’t worry about it. You should go take care of the bleeding first.”
Lu Wanwan could only nod her head, feeling extremely foolish.
Not only foolish but also particularly pathetic, she still felt dazed.
She wanted to keep herself busy, but those images intrusively entered her mind.
“There’s only a band-aid.”
“It’s fine, a band-aid will do,” Lu Wanwan said apologetically, “It was my clumsy fault, said I’d help with the dishes, yet I ended up breaking a plate.”
Bai Lingyun handed her the band-aid, sat down next to her, an arm propped against the armrest of the sofa, supporting his head, watching her bandage her finger.
When he noticed she felt uncomfortable being watched, he finally spoke, “Can I ask you a question?”
Lu Wanwan thought back to the question he asked just before she broke the plate, indeed, anyone would be curious.
Although she didn’t want to bring it up at all now, but…
“This incident at my house, you’re not going to write about it, right?” Bai Lingyun slowly started, those very beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, the shadows cast by his long eyelashes making his eyes seem deeply set.
“…” Lu Wanwan did not expect his question, paused for a moment, then said half laughing, half crying, “Of course not. Mr. Bai, I’m really not in the mood to work right now.”
Bai Lingyun languidly curved his lips, “Call me by my name. If you call me Mr. Bai, I’ll just treat you as a reporter and I can’t help but want to kick you out immediately.”
She bit her lip, her brows furrowed tightly, glaring at him for a long while.
Considering he did take her out of the Ji Family’s home today, she complied, “…Bai Lingyun.”
Bai Lingyun nodded, finally satisfied.
Lu Wanwan thought something wasn’t right, she was supposed to leave, not try to persuade him to let her stay.
“Bai Lingyun, thank you for today. I’ve disturbed you for such a long time, I…”
A flash of lightning from the balcony shot in, the thunder deafening.
“Hmm?” Bai Lingyun, with his legs crossed, continued sitting on the sofa, “You what?”
“I should get going.” Lu Wanwan stood up, her brows even more tightly furrowed.
Glancing outside, the window revealed lightning and thunder, the sound of rain transitioning from sparse to dense.
Heaven really had no eyes, raining heavily at such a time.
Bai Lingyun didn’t seem particularly keen on asking her to stay, he didn’t even get up, just lazily leaned against the sofa, “Okay, but I’m a bit tired, so I won’t see you out.”
Saying it sounded a bit affected, but it’s only natural not to see her off.
Who would want to go out in thunder and rain, especially a public figure.
But what should she do if she just left ?
“Could I… borrow an umbrella?” she asked with difficulty.
Bai Lingyun shrugged, a look of regret on that stunning, delicate face, “I don’t have an umbrella.”
Watching Lu Wanwan’s face turn to shocked disbelief, he seemed to find it amusing, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting.
Hearing it so nonchalantly, it almost sounded like a joke.
“Can you not tease me?” she said with a mournful look.
“I really don’t have an umbrella,” he said earnestly this time, “I think I mentioned I rarely stay here, and there are actually many things missing in this house.”
Lu Wanwan felt a sense of despair, “Do you have a computer? Could I use it for a moment?”
Bai Lingyun gave an innocent and sincere smile, showing his white teeth, “I have one, but I didn’t bring it.”
