"..." Lu Wanwan cursed inwardly at the rogue.
Back then, Gu Annan’s aura of abstinence was one of the things that attracted her.
During their exchange in Japan, they shared a room, but nothing ever happened.
Now, she was seeing his true colors more and more.
"Gu Annan, you were not before."
He raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Correct her a hundred times, and if she still doesn’t learn, then keep correcting until she gets it right.
"You were never this vulgar before. Among the people you were with, you seemed the most decent." Lu Wanwan leaned on the convertible’s seat, propping her head, "I remember someone, it was Ji Shaoyang, wasn’t it? He cracked a joke and everyone laughed uproariously—except you. I chuckled along, and you glared at me."
"..." Gu Annan looked up to see the green light, drove the car, his expression slightly darkened.
The fact that she laughed along with a group of men laughing obscenely, and she had the nerve to mention it.
"Later, I don’t know how, but one by one, they all acted prudish, never telling fun jokes anymore."
"..." His face grew darker still, she regrets it?
"Gu Annan, why aren’t you speaking?" She had been talking to herself for a while.
Turning to see his face darkened, she wondered if she had said something wrong.
Or was it that the past really shouldn’t be mentioned?
"Where are you taking me now? To eat?"
Still silent, she turned her head away in frustration.
Until they got out of the car, she heard Gu Annan speak with a bit of grit in his voice, "Wait until you get it right before I consider answering your question."
"Husband, shall we go eat first?"
Lu Wanwan quickly followed up with a sentence.
Indeed, before Gu Annan spoke, she had already thought about changing the way she addressed him.
The moment she heard his words, she didn’t hesitate any longer.
Gu Annan closed the car door, his expression finally easing a bit.
He tousled her hair, "I thought you didn’t recognize those two characters."
"Not... used to it..."
Each time, he had many demands when they were in bed, making her even more nervous to speak up usually.
She always felt that as soon as the words "husband" came out, she was going to be pounced on.
"That implies we do it too infrequently." He wrapped his arms around her with his long arms.
Lu Wanwan blushed, "Not infrequently..."
The frequency was not low at all.
Looking up into his ambiguous gaze, she realized she had misconstrued his intentions.
Hurriedly, she grabbed his large hand, changing the subject, "Let’s eat, I’m so hungry I could flatten."
Gu Annan’s eyebrows lifted, his hand reaching over to rub her abdomen, "Let’s check how flat you’ve gotten from hunger."
The gentle, enticing touch of his long fingers felt like a brush of electricity; she felt her heart go numb all at once.
She would never believe that gesture was just checking.
"This is a parking lot. Don’t get handsy."
He responded coolly, "Should I use my mouth instead?"
The two went to a top-tier Japanese restaurant in Manchester, which normally only accepted reservations.
Gu Annan gave his name, and the waiter immediately led them to a private room.
Lu Wanwan sat on the tatami mat, waiting for the meal, "Was it you who got the police to the hospital so quickly?"
He held a cup of tea, amidst the serene and classic Japanese music and the surrounding decor, every gesture was picturesque enough for a photo shoot.
"There’s no need to delay such matters."
Lu Wanwan looked at him for a moment, "Gu Annan..."
He looked over warningly.
"Husband..." Lu Wanwan quickly corrected herself, "I still want to ask you, did you really not want to see me back then? Did I do something to make you hate me so much that you don’t want to talk about it even now?"
