Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Do Not Guess the BOSS’s Mind
Her forehead almost knocked against something, but fortunately, Lu Wanwan reacted quickly, stretching out her hand to block it and thus avoiding a potential bloody outcome.
Just as she settled in her seat, an arm suddenly stretched over from beside her and pressed her firmly into the seat.
Gu Annan leaned his whole body toward her, his delicate and indifferent face extremely close to hers at that moment.
Lu Wanwan was pressed against the backrest of the seat, her heart racing.
The faint scent of mint on his body made her a bit nervous, and for a moment she was too scared to move, not even sure what he intended to do.
But she quickly understood.
With a “swoosh,” Gu Annan forcefully pulled the seatbelt over.
His cold gaze fell as he fastened the seatbelt over her with efficient movements.
It wasn’t until the ‘click’ sound that Lu Wanwan came back to reality.
When she looked up again, she saw Gu Annan give her a dispassionate glance, as he moved back to the driver’s seat, acting as if nothing had happened.
Her face, against the strong cold air within the car, for the first time felt that the chill wasn’t quite enough.
It was only when the green light came on and Gu Annan started the car that she murmured a few words, “Thank you.”
For a moment, she thought he would kiss her, and the sound of the seatbelt actually made her feel a little disappointed.
Lu Wanwan really wanted to knock on her own head—what on earth was she thinking!
Gu Annan’s long fingers pinched the steering wheel, and after he accelerated, his lips moved slightly, “From now on, any fines for not wearing a seatbelt will be on you, and if there’s an accident, it’s all on you too. Medical expenses have nothing to do with me.”
A precise bucket of cold water poured down, and Lu Wanwan felt her previously racing heart instantly return to normal.
She clenched her hand into a fist, repeating to herself thirty times, wear the seatbelt, wear the seatbelt, wear the seatbelt…
Gu Annan drove fast, and Lu Wanwan watched the neighborhoods outside the window, gradually approaching the business district.
She didn’t know where the sponsor wanted to go, so she simply took out her phone again.
Maybe she could get some information from Xiaozhao?
Her fingers flew over the keyboard, but the knockoff phone was a bit slow, hardly keeping up with her typing speed, almost driving her to despair several times.
Seeing her quiet down, Gu Annan glanced from the corner of his eye to see her constantly on her phone, reminding him of what Zhao Chen had said earlier.
His brows furrowed, a clear expression of displeasure.
Lu Wanwan looked up, startled and confused.
Had WeChat offended him? Was there a fierce competition recently with the Penguin company?
She couldn’t recall noticing before that Gu Annan was so inhumane to his employees. Gu Corporation wasn’t in the instant messaging industry, was it?
“Then let me post on Moments to let everyone know first.”
She didn’t directly ask why, to avoid another reminder of how much of her 190,000 was still subject to deduction.
Just as Lu Wanwan casually tried to send a message to Xiaozhao, she saw, “System Prompt: The user has enabled friend verification, you are not their friend yet. Please send a friend request first; after the user approves, you can chat.”
She was sure she had added Xiaozhao—just a few hours earlier they had exchanged a few words. How could it suddenly say they weren’t friends anymore?
The only possibility was that she had been… blocked by Xiaozhao.
This maniacal BOSS, Lu Wanwan thought, as she mentally lit a candle for Xiaozhao.
“Sorry, my phone has frozen,” she showed Gu Annan her phone screen, blinking her clear eyes gently, and spoke in a negotiating tone, “Can I delete it next time?”
Gu Annan didn’t pay any attention, only frowning as if annoyed.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a fruit retail store.
A card was thrown into her hand.
