Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Gu Annan, Happy Birthday (3) Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Gu Annan, Happy Birthday (3) Arthur paused in his step, his deeply contoured face stiffening slightly.
“Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that.”
Zhao Chen cleared his throat lightly, “The situation is, Gu has had an emergency today and seems to be feeling unwell, so he can’t make it. Mr. Arthur, after all, health comes first, right?”
Shades of confusion flickered through Arthur’s deep blue eyes, but his lips formed a smile, “You’re right, let’s have a video conference then, just his appearance will do.”
“…” Zhao Chen wiped his sweat, “About that.”
“Hah, even if he’s too ill to get out of bed, too sick to talk, he could still listen, couldn’t he?”
“That’s true in theory, but practically speaking, Gu still thinks it’s best to leave everything in your hands for the time being.”
“Best? Haha.” Arthur smiled, yet his words were through clenched teeth, “Tell him I’ll be back in the United Kingdom in a week. He can handle the rest himself.”
After finishing his words, he walked off to the meeting room, clearly frustrated.
Just because Gu Annan gets to be in love, does that mean he deserves to be single?
When Lu Wanwan opened her eyes, she still felt a total lack of strength.
The memory of last night’s insatiable demands made her face flush slightly, and even now she was still being tightly embraced, with her own hands unwilling to let go.
Coming to her senses, she immediately withdrew her hands, preparing to get out of bed.
The arm wrapped around her waist suddenly tightened, and just as she pushed herself away a little, her face rapidly came to rest against Gu Annan’s chest due to that force.
“Feeling greedy first thing in the morning?” came his magnetic, husky voice.
“Then why are you moving for no reason?”
Remembering that men in the morning should not be provoked, she dared not move an inch.
“Still touching?” Gu Annan looked down, and although her hands were motionless on his abdomen, the heat came through without any barrier.
“I’m not touching you.”
“Where are your hands then?”
Because she had been holding him even in her sleep and hadn’t had the chance to let go.
Feeling wronged, Lu Wanwan quickly withdrew her hands.
“I told you not to move rashly!” His voice suddenly dropped, and his long, muscular legs quickly pinned her down.
“Gu Annan!” Lu Wanwan was somewhat exasperated, “I was just pulling back my hands. First, you tell me not to touch, then not to move, don’t be so overbearing!”
The man on top of her lifted an attractive eyebrow, the corners of his lips hooked into an indistinct curve.
“I didn’t say you couldn’t touch,” he murmured as he gently pecked her neck, “but you must follow through when you start something, you can’t just touch and run.”
Gu Annan watched her mouth open anxiously, and he kissed her directly.
With his lips sealing her words, his tongue forcefully prodded, breaking through her defenses and sweeping into her mouth.
The vigorous yet gentle sucking, as if her lips were delicious candy, never enough.
Not until he heard her involuntary soft moan, those glistening eyes barely open, revealing a slender gap under long entwined lashes, light diffused in a mesmerizing allure.
“Haven’t you forgotten something?”
Lu Wanwan opened her eyes, and the handsome face up close exuded an emotion that was hard to grasp.
“The cake…” she suddenly remembered.
She had insisted on cutting the cake at midnight, but by the end of the evening, she couldn’t remember anything, only that…
“Did I fall asleep? Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Gu Annan’s fingers gently pinched her chin, speaking suggestively, “I did call you. But you said, ‘stop fussing.'”
