He returned the call to Zhao Chen, giving instructions on recent work assignments, and also exchanged a few words with Arthur, who temporarily took over his duties at the Gu Corporation.
After he hung up the phone, Lu Wanwan was still nowhere to be seen.
With nothing better to do, he got out of bed and aimlessly looked around the room.
Eventually, his gaze fell upon a cabinet, on top of which there were several photo albums that Lu Wanwan had brought back from the Lu family to the Gu Mansion, and ultimately to this place.
Perhaps out of sheer boredom, he simply opened them one by one to look through.
These were Lu Wanwan’s photos from birth, all of which he had never seen before.
Beautiful, unflattering, embarrassing – it seemed to have everything.
Until he came across a picture of a child lying on the bed naked – the ‘nude photo’ that last time Lu Wanwan furiously forbade him from seeing.
Gu Annan curved his lips, thinking this woman was really childish.
He only glanced at it and continued flipping through the pages.
His eyes suddenly fixed on a photo of the two kids together, quite surprised to see their joint picture.
The girl, not even three years old, had a beaming smile, pure and charming. The boy beside her, though only a few years older, already had a certain air of mature calmness.
Gu Annan’s eyes shone slightly as he scrutinized that photo, his expression meaningful.
The sound of the key turning in the door didn’t budge him; he kept looking.
The moment Lu Wanwan opened the door, she saw him casually browsing through her photo album.
She suddenly remembered the photo that he couldn’t see, and rushed forward, “Gu Annan, don’t you know what privacy means? I kindly let you rest here, why are you going through my stuff?”
“Just taking a look.” Compared to Lu Wanwan’s agitation, he seemed very calm. Before she could snatch the album away, he pointed at the photo, “What’s this?”
Lu Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat, the unfortunate coincidence that he had found that particular photo.
“Just a group photo, is there a need to ask?” Seeing his lack of reaction, she reassured herself not to be too obvious, “Who doesn’t have a few group pictures from their childhood?”
“Someone you don’t know, don’t bother asking.”
“Oh? So, you know who it is?” He narrowed his eyes slightly and closed the album.
“Of course, I know who it is.” Lu Wanwan took the album back and put it away properly.
Gu Annan stared at her for a while, “Are you sure, you know who it is?”
Lu Wanwan felt a bit guilty. Although she had already annulled their engagement, and there was nothing to worry about, her subconscious did not want Gu Annan to know about this person.
After all, with her mother gone, that verbal joke was probably forgotten by now.
She glanced at Gu Annan’s bare chest, “Get dressed!”
She tossed him the groceries she had bought and sternly warned him, “I let you rest here because you’re sick. But let’s be clear, you… you need to be fully dressed here.”
Gu Annan looked at what she had bought, mostly things for him.
Did she intend to let him stay indefinitely?
“I’m not sure if these pajamas will fit you, so try them on yourself; as long as they fit, they’re fine.”
A current seemed to run through Gu Annan’s heart.
He glanced at her quickly, his speech a bit hurried, “Let me clarify first, these are things you bought for me, not things I asked you to buy.”
He could tell at a glance, these items were not much to him, but for the current Lu Wanwan, they probably cost her half a month’s salary.
She was actually willing to spend that much.
