Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Gu Annan, Happy Birthday (1) Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Gu Annan, Happy Birthday (1) “Stop looking at me, can’t you just eat?” Lu Wanwan’s heart thumped wildly whenever their eyes met.
Those deep, ocean-like dark pupils seemed to blaze with a fiery brightness eager to burst forth.
She quickly lowered her head, her face flushing in waves of heat.
It was the first time she felt so unsettled eating alone with him.
“Why are you nervous?” Gu Annan squinted slightly, watching her sip her wine, her glass of red quickly running low.
Her already rosy cheeks were now dotted with fine beads of sweat.
Upon hearing Gu Annan’s words, her bright pupils lifted slightly, looking exceptionally luminous. Her red lips parted in surprise, revealing her pearly white teeth under her radiant face, made even more charming by alcohol.
His throat tightened, and beneath his dark gaze, her naive and charming demeanor was incredibly enticing.
It was as if a small brush kept scratching at his heart.
“I’m not nervous, I just… are we done eating? If we’re done, I’ll go wash the dishes.”
Lu Wanwan suddenly stood up, inadvertently banging her knee against the corner of the table.
She cried out in pain, and the next moment, she was pulled back.
“Why are you so clumsy, does it hurt a lot?”
“It’s nothing, it’s not very painful.” She quickly waved her hand and took the dishes to the kitchen.
Gu Annan watched her slightly panicked demeanor thoughtfully, and followed her.
Lu Wanwan washed the dishes uneasily, the gaze at the kitchen door wrapping around her like vines.
She was the prey he was waiting for.
Between the turmoil in her mind, washing the dishes became a lengthy struggle.
She took a deep breath, placed the dishes neatly, and washed her hands.
“I’m done washing,” she said, her hands behind her back, looking at the person lazily leaning against the door frame, his deep pupils shining like stars.
“So?” Gu Annan asked slowly.
His voice was particularly pleasant, crisp and luxurious, especially when he deliberately asked, it seemed to carry a seductive charm.
Lu Wanwan felt herself getting a bit dizzy, the effect of the alcohol she had earlier gradually kicking in.
She knew Gu Annan appeared proper standing to one side, but he was clearly an insatiable wolf.
Perhaps emboldened by the alcohol, she couldn’t avoid the inevitable and relaxed, walking toward him.
“So?” Lu Wanwan’s gaze was dazed, “So what?”
Gu Annan stood with his arms folded, looking down slightly, “What do you plan to do next for your birthday?”
She tilted her head, the alcohol catalyzing his dark gaze, making her feel a bit hot.
“It’s not your birthday yet.” Lu Wanwan pouted her lips and gestured with her hand, “There are still three hours. Gu Annan, will a lot of people celebrate your birthday tomorrow?”
“I don’t know.” He reached out and pulled her into his arms, “I don’t even remember it.”
“You don’t remember your birthday?” Her eyes widened slightly. How could someone not remember their own birthday?
His hot breath quickly reached her face.
Lu Wanwan frowned, realizing the truth.
As a person held in high regard, he didn’t need to remember it himself. Surely many others would.
Only she, herself, since her mother passed away and her grandmother fell ill, might besides her own self, have no one else to remember her birthday.
A kiss was quickly pressed onto her cheek.
Lu Wanwan tucked away that bit of accustomed discomfort in her heart.
Her arms encircled his neck, and she tiptoed to kiss him.
The proactive soft touch of her lips made his brain buzz, like fireworks exploding.
