She had too many questions in her heart, and moreover, didn’t know why Gu Annan would show up here at all, but she also didn’t want to keep standing on the roadside in a standoff.
As soon as she sat in the car, that familiar scent drew near, and then with a "bang," the car door was closed rather ungentlemanly.
The driver in the front didn’t even look back and just drove off.
Gu Annan was about to speak when he caught a hint of alcohol at the tip of his nose.
"You’ve been drinking?" His gaze was stern, and his voice had a demanding edge to it.
Lu Wanwan looked at the seriousness on his face, "I had a little beer, Taozi ordered it..."
The atmosphere inside the car became heavy; she felt like a child who had done something wrong.
Was it because she shouldn’t have questioned who that woman was just now?
She clearly saw that woman get into his car, yet he claimed she was just asking for directions.
Lu Wanwan bit her lip, and her look at him changed.
"Without my permission, you’re not allowed to drink anywhere," he stated emphatically, word by word.
In fact, his tone didn’t contain a trace of critique, and it was as uneventful as it was steady.
Those who didn’t know him would never notice anything different from his usual self.
But Lu Wanwan could hear it, even the tiniest subtlety of change.
"Gu Annan," she lowered her voice but looked straight at him, saying clearly, "Don’t you think your ’not allowing’ is a bit too much?"
Since yesterday, he had been imposing all sorts of restrictions. Even if it was out of concern for her health, did he have to do so in such a commanding way?
"I’ve just spoiled you too much." He looked at the woman who wasn’t the least bit afraid of him, gritting his teeth, and his tone finally shifted.
After finishing the meeting, he had unexpectedly opened WeChat and saw the photo Lu Wanwan had posted on her Moments with a geotag.
So, he simply didn’t ask and went straight to her from the company.
Who would have thought this would be the surprise she had for him?
"How did you know I was here?" Lu Wanwan turned her head away.
Then she heard a disdainful snort beside her, "Shouldn’t you rather answer what you’re doing here?"
"I’m dining here with friends, roommates I haven’t seen in a long time." She articulated every word distinctly. However, after she finished speaking, sensing the dissatisfaction in the ensuing silence, she thought for a moment and added, "And Bai Lingyun. He was nearby shooting a film, so he stopped by for a meal. Plus, Taozi and Qiaoqiao are both fans of his."
A lukewarm voice came through, "You’ve been quite close to him recently, haven’t you?"
Lu Wanwan turned her head away, then brought it back a bit.
Her clear eyes met his proud face—the sardonyx-like eyes were looking at her with a glacial coldness.
She pursed her lips and then said calmly, "Gu Annan, can you not be ? Bai Lingyun and I are just ordinary friends, and what’s more, he has helped me more than once. Can’t I have friends? Is there not even a shred of basic trust?"
Gu Annan pursed his lips tightly and as he listened, he suddenly kissed her fiercely.
His arm scooped her up onto his lap, aggressively invading her mouth, exploring, and even biting as if in conquest.
Talking about trust, so why not finish it in one go?
With evasion and concealment, caught only to then complain about his distrust, is that her trust?
Thinking about what he had just seen, the growing anger in his heart prompted him to kiss her harder, his arms encircling her slight frame, heedless of her struggle, as if he wanted to meld her into his body.
Until the taste of blood touched his lips and teeth.
