The room soon only contained her and Bai Youchen. She looked at her cousin. Honestly, he did bear a faint resemblance to their uncle, but not much.
Regarding this uncle she’d never met, she’d only seen his picture.
The picture was from when he was young, and his life had stopped at that time.
On the way here earlier, she had phoned Bai Lingyun to tell him she was coming over.
After exchanging a few words, she learned that both of them resembled their mother quite a bit.
Madam Bai must have been exceptionally beautiful in her youth to have given birth to such handsome sons.
She thought of Gu Annan’s mother, who, even at her age, was still incredibly beautiful, showing no signs of having children as old as hers.
As a child, Gu Annan resembled his mother more, but as he grew up, he began to look more like his father. Unlike in his childhood, when he could pass as a girl just by changing clothes.
"Honestly, I don’t know what I should say to you." After finally finishing a bowl of soup, Bai Youchen looked up, carefully scrutinized her, and then smiled faintly, "Why did you save me?"
Lu Wanwan sat beside the bed, shrugged her shoulders, "Initially, I only intended to put you in a taxi. Seeing the blood on you made me feel something was wrong. I was also afraid of getting into trouble, especially because you seemed so mysterious."
"Next time you find yourself in such a situation, faced with such a strange person, you don’t need to trouble yourself with so much moral dilemma. Just stay as far away as possible," he said earnestly.
"If I really did that, you might have ended up lying in the street, right?"
"If there is a next time, how could you know who it is?" Bai Youchen said evenly, "You can’t possibly have another cousin for you to run into by chance."
She nodded, "I know. But seeing you unconscious in the taxi, if I had left you alone, the driver wouldn’t have brought you here. Then leaving you in the taxi would have been no different from leaving you on the roadside initially. Plus, I just felt you couldn’t be a bad person."
Back then, he was injured, speaking weakly, but his tone was gentle and polite.
Which made her feel, he couldn’t be a bad person.
"Bad people don’t have it written on their faces that they are bad people," he said with a hint of helplessness.
Lu Wanwan thought of Wen Qiao’s brother, whom she had judged to be a bad person based on his looks.
Indeed, that needed to change.
"Can I ask you, why did you do this?" After thinking for a moment, she asked, "I don’t quite understand. Family, fiancée, you abandoned them all. Don’t you care about their worries?"
"Not everything in the world goes as one wishes." Bai Youchen seemed to sigh, "Wanwan, could we keep the fact that I am your cousin a secret from others?"
"Because you said it was a last resort?" Wanwan was prepared for this mentally.
He could forsake his brothers and parents, let alone the love of his life, not to mention her, a cousin he’d never met before.
Bai Youchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Pretend, then, that you never saw me."
Outside the building was a bustling street.
Song Ning sat in the deserted lobby, her gaze unusually vacant.
Suddenly, someone burst through the front door.
As Bai Lingyun entered, he fiercely kicked the door shut, removed his sunglasses, "Song Ning, you had Lu Wanwan send him? Are you out of your mind!"
Hearing his voice, Song Ning looked up calmly, "What’s wrong with that? She’s Gu Annan’s woman, could there be anyone more suitable, safer than her?"
