Chapter 320: Chapter 320: The Man She Will Marry When She Grows Up (4) Chapter 320: Chapter 320: The Man She Will Marry When She Grows Up (4) “Gu Annan?”
Without hearing a response, Lu Wanwan’s unease grew a little more.
Truth be told, taking out a gift that was exactly like one from the past sent her heart into her throat.
Gu Annan didn’t like to talk about the past, and she had no idea how he would react.
That handsome face remained characteristically cool and indifferent, his emotions unreadable as his dark, cold eyes observed the box she held out, his thoughts inscrutable.
The distinctly chiseled contours of his face made his eyes seem even deeper.
Just as she hesitated, thinking of taking it back, the box was suddenly snatched up by his swift hand.
The surge of complex emotions made him somewhat uncomfortable, his heartbeat quickening.
“You invited me up for dinner, so where is it?” Gu Annan asked, his palm heating up as he held the box, deflecting the conversation.
“Crap.” It was only then that Lu Wanwan remembered, “I… I forgot to buy groceries.”
She had only managed to prepare the cake at noon, and when she spoke to him about dinner, all she could think about was the cake.
Now it dawned on her that the cake was for later at 12 o’clock.
They certainly couldn’t starve until twelve, could they?
“How about we go out to eat?”
Gu Annan raised an eyebrow, “Is it going to be something as perfunctory as going out to eat so soon? Is this how you celebrate someone’s birthday?”
Since when had going out to eat become equivalent to being perfunctory…
“Then wait for me; I’ll check out the nearby supermarket,” she said, picking up her purse again, feeling masochistic for even considering this fastidious guy’s tastes.
Gu Annan glanced at her purse. Could it be that the reason she’d been so nervous just a moment ago was because of this box of biscuits in her purse?
He stepped out first, opening the door. Since they were going to the supermarket, it was better to prevent her from bumping into someone by herself accidentally.
Lu Wanwan watched him in stunned silence, then heard him prompt, “Hurry up.”
Gu Annan was going to the supermarket…
Gu Annan was actually going to the supermarket!
In her eyes, people like him were supposed to be completely alienated from such places.
Although he hadn’t shown any particular expression just now, his actions shocked her even more than his initial reaction.
Lu Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh a little as she followed him.
His clear, teasing voice came from the side, causing the smile at the corners of her mouth to freeze momentarily, “Nothing.”
Shopping at the supermarket with Gu Annan was not an easy task. Seeing his pricey and aloof demeanor, Lu Wanwan directly led him into the import supermarket they visited last time.
The prices skyrocketed, and her heart ached.
She had said she would treat him to a meal, so naturally, she couldn’t let Gu Annan pay.
“Gu Annan, let’s go straight to the fresh food section. Take a look and see what you want,” Lu Wanwan said, pushing the cart and following behind him.
It was unclear if Gu Annan had ever been to a supermarket before, but he seemed to want to browse through everything, even the household items.
And regardless of whether she already had them at home, he picked up those exorbitantly priced items and dumped them into the shopping cart without hesitation, not sparing even shower gel and shampoo.
At first, Lu Wanwan wanted to remind him that they were only there to buy groceries.
But then she thought better of it. If he was enjoying himself this much, she didn’t want to interrupt. She could always pay separately later.
Soon, items such as men’s slippers, an electric shaver, and so on…
were also tossed into the cart.
“Cough, Gu Annan…” Lu Wanwan felt an inexplicable sense of panic and tried to remind him.
“The fresh food section, is it?” he said, having nearly finished exploring the store, finally heading towards the fresh food area.
An hour later, the two of them pushed a fully loaded cart to the checkout counter, where Gu Annan swiftly handed over a card.
