Chapter 303: Chapter 303 I need to… take a fever reducer (3) Chapter 303: Chapter 303 I need to… take a fever reducer (3) He stopped, staring at the person limp beneath him, his voice cold and playful as he said, “Your body says otherwise.”
His phone rang. He glanced at it, didn’t answer, and then stood up.
“Remember what I just said, get up, eat something, then go back to sleep. And remember to take your cold medicine.”
“The sick one is you, not me,” she complained softly.
But watching Gu Annan leave with vigorous spirits, he must have almost recovered.
Lu Wanwan closed her eyes and continued to sleep drowsily.
It really wasn’t fair. He was the one with the fever and cold, yet she just felt a bit unwell.
Why, after one night, was he refreshed and awake while she was still sneezing?
Do I really need to exercise more?
At noon, Gu Annan left the conference room.
The first thing he saw was Zhao Chen, “Was breakfast sent over? Did she eat it?”
“…She probably did,” Zhao Chen was uncertain.
“What do you mean probably?”
Zhao Chen felt troubled internally, “Miss Lu wouldn’t open the door. I called Miss Lu, but she said she didn’t want to open it.”
Gu Annan paused his steps, “Don’t tell me you just let it be?”
“Mr. Gu, I tried. But Miss Lu said if she doesn’t open the door, there’s nothing I can do. She mentioned she wasn’t dressed and I couldn’t just barge in. In the end, she told me to leave it at the door; she would come out and get it later…”
Zhao Chen hadn’t finished speaking when he consciously stopped himself.
The boss’s face turned unexpectedly stern, the atmosphere suddenly turning icy cold.
“Who wasn’t wearing clothes?” The last man to leave the conference room, whose presence was devilishly striking and body posture outstanding, his finely chiseled features a blend of Eastern and Western traits, asked.
“Mr. Arthur,” Zhao Chen forced a laugh.
Arthur was Gu Annan’s senior colleague from Europe, a half-French, half-Chinese mix. The two had completed many tasks together and could be considered comrades who had been through life and death.
Ji Shaoyang and the others each had family businesses to manage. Aside from them, the person Gu Annan trusted and felt most at ease with was Arthur, which is why he was the one Gu Annan had brought back to temporarily take over his position.
“Could you be talking about Jinjin?” After a moment of thought, Arthur suddenly asked, startled.
“Not the second young lady,” Zhao Chen explained, “It’s…”
He was troubled again. It seemed like Miss Lu and Mr. Gu had broken up, but then Mr. Gu had stayed the night at Miss Lu’s place.
This complex affair was getting hard to understand.
“One of Mr. Gu’s subordinates.”
Arthur’s blue eyes suddenly widened as he looked towards Gu Annan.
Gu Annan nonchalantly glanced at him, “Is there a problem?”
“What have you done to your subordinate that you had to send an assistant to barge in?” Arthur looked at him with a beast-like gaze.
“Mr. Arthur, you’re mistaken, Mr. Gu did not tell me to barge in, and I absolutely wouldn’t dare to,” Zhao Chen replied.
“Oh? It sounds subordinate is quite special.”
“Fiancee,” Gu Annan, not in the mood to explain further, replied crisply.
Zhao Chen: “…” Mr. Gu, weren’t you dumped? Has Miss Lu agreed to this title?
“It’s her then…” Arthur thought for a moment then suddenly realized, “You urgently called me to help, not because you’re in love, right?”
“Am I not working?” he said, very displeased.
Zhao Chen again: “…” Mr. Arthur isn’t typically . Mr. Gu is technically single; being in love requires two people. This conclusion is a bit premature.
Gu Annan didn’t respond and glancing at his watch, he quickly quickened his pace and left.
“Zhao Chen?” Arthur, not getting an answer, turned towards Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen dared not deceive those Eyes of Golden Flame, “Well… let’s just say, Mr. Gu is about to end his bachelorhood.”
Arthur’s lips twitched, realizing after all this time, he still hadn’t scored.
