Gu Annan casually hooked one hand in his pocket, stopping in his tracks with a nod, "Yeah."
She continued to bow her head and eat her noodles, thinking he had already left, when she suddenly heard him say, "When you’re on your period, don’t run around everywhere."
Her heart pounded erratically, unsure whether to tell the truth.
If someone mentioned the name Gu, did Gu Annan know about it or not?
"If there is anything at school, have your classmates help you."
"Okay," she said no more.
In the taxi, she had shared a bit about her relationship with Gu Annan to Bai Youchen, but Bai Youchen’s intention was still for her to keep quiet.
She was conflicted inside, but for the moment she could only agree.
As long as it wasn’t an emergency, she wouldn’t bring it up, but if it ever came to a point like today, where Bai Youchen was not capable of protecting her life, she would still choose to come clean to Gu Annan.
After the noodles, she specially made a cup of coffee and walked into his study.
"Aren’t you really hungry? If you are hungry..." she guessed that maybe Gu Annan was a bit hungry, but he had left all the noodles for her.
He took a gentle sip of the coffee, looking up, "Hungry."
Lu Wanwan was about to ask, what would you like to eat?
Suddenly she felt that the word "hungry" coming from his mouth didn’t sound quite proper and decent.
With a suspicious look, she watched him, her mouth slightly open, but in the end, she didn’t speak.
Gu Annan put down the documents and lifted her onto his lap; his warm, soft lips gently brushed against her cheek, "Won’t you ask what I want to eat?"
Lu Wanwan pursed her lips, shaking her head, as the wolf-like gleam in his eyes frightened her.
"It seems you’re better," he said, extending a finger to lightly trace her lips, especially the spot he had bitten a few days before.
Lu Wanwan, thinking of the bite, bit his finger out of frustration.
"Provoking me at a time , have you thought about the consequences?" His low, husky voice mixed with a heady breath.
He released his finger and kissed her lips, not with forceful demand, but with extreme gentleness and caution, slowly licking them.
Her heart tingled, and just as she was about to say something, he invaded her mouth.
Her back leaned against the edge of the desk, her arms unconsciously hooking around his neck.
The sudden sound of a ringing phone broke the silence.
Gu Annan’s brow furrowed, and Lu Wanwan hurriedly said, "Mine, that’s my phone."
She quickly took her phone out of her purse, "It’s Brother Shaoyang."
After finishing, she got off him and swiftly left the study, otherwise, she really didn’t know how she would extricate herself from this situation during her period.
"Brother Shaoyang, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing much, just asking if Qiaoqiao is with you?"
As she shut the door, she replied, "No, I haven’t been in touch with her today. Is there a problem?"
"Nothing, just suddenly can’t reach her."
Lu Wanwan was about to suggest another way to reach Wen Qiao, but then remembered that in Manchester Wen Qiao was all alone without family, "Is her brother still in Manchester?"
"I don’t know either, we haven’t spoken about her brother since that time, and I haven’t seen him either. Forget it, maybe her phone just temporarily lost signal or ran out of battery."
Outside the car, a drizzle of rain was falling.
Wen Qiao sat inside the car, her body bearing traces of having been wet by the rain.
"Too slow," a voice, absent of warmth, came from beside her.
The dim light inside the car illuminated by the laptop screen highlighted the man’s chiseled face.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t expect that you would suddenly..."
