Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Gu Annan, Happy Birthday (4) Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Gu Annan, Happy Birthday (4) “How come I don’t remember ever saying that…”
“You should ask yourself that, why can’t you remember. As compensation…”
Lu Wanwan’s body trembled, her clear, bright eyes wide open.
It was just that they hadn’t cut the cake at 12 o’clock, even though it had been his birthday all day, and no time had passed.
Did they really need some damn compensation for that?
“Gu Annan, you’re bullying me!”
When Lu Wanwan got up, she felt like her waist was about to break.
Even dressing, such a minor task, seemed so strenuous.
Full of resentment, she glanced at the figure in the kitchen then fished out an oversized coat to wrap herself up tightly.
A small house is always such a hassle; whenever she washed up, she could see him anytime she looked up.
Lu Wanwan tilted her head to brush her teeth, while eyeing the kitchen’s direction.
Even in the kitchen, his every move was graceful and composed, his style clashing with the rudimentary kitchen.
Watching him, she didn’t realize how long she’d been brushing her teeth.
Gu Annan, with his back turned, didn’t even need to look around, “Are you planning to brush your teeth until the evening? Aren’t you hungry?”
Her brow tightened and she immediately withdrew her gaze.
Hungry, she was nearly starving.
After washing up, looking at the table with its clear porridge, fried eggs, and vegetable soup–simple things that became extremely tempting, a seduction for the taste buds, in his hands.
Maybe it was because she was so hungry that just smelling them made her impatient.
It was just that sitting at the table, glancing sidelong at the cake, she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
It was she who insisted on waiting until 12 o’clock, yet she was the one who forgot about the cake.
“Gu Annan, I didn’t expect you to do so much.” She rubbed her slightly messy hair and picked up a spoon.
“Did you think I was some klutz who can’t even differentiate wheat from chaff?” Gu Annan gave her a glance before sitting down opposite her.
“…” Did he really have to distort her words like that?
“About the cake, how do you plan to compensate me?” Gu Annan raised his head again, as if it were a casual and natural matter.
But the very word ‘compensation’ set off a series of unstoppable thoughts in her head.
Before, ‘compensation’ had almost left her unable to get out of bed.
They couldn’t keep compensating .
He was full of energy, but her legs were trembling; it was unfair!
“Don’t you have to go to the company?” Lu Wanwan lowered her head, steering the topic elsewhere, “For a major corporation like yours, shouldn’t you be swamped with work?”
“Are you questioning my capabilities?”
She nearly bit her tongue. Could they even have a pleasant conversation anymore?
“Gu’s business is not for you to worry about. Instead, think about how much money you’ve had docked this month.” Gu Annan spoke calmly, with a depth in his eyes and a hint of amusement as he watched her face turn to astonishment, “Didn’t we say yesterday to deduct it from your salary? Or do you have some other ideas?”
Lu Wanwan’s hand holding the spoon almost crushed it.
She took a deep breath covertly, her voice calm, “No, just deduct it.”
However, the smile on Gu Annan’s face didn’t last long as he heard her continue, “But after today, you can’t stay here anymore.”
His eyebrows lifted slightly, meaningfully observing the woman who spoke with such earnestness.
Lu Wanwan looked up, “Groceries and rent, utilities, everything costs money, and I can’t afford an extra person.”
“But, I have no plans to leave,” he said slowly, parting his thin lips leisurely.
