Her head banged directly against Gu Annan’s back. Just as she thought she might tumble down the stairs, her body suddenly felt light.
The arm that imprisoned her waist held her tightly, pressing her against his chest.
Gu Annan looked at her without a word, his complexion dark and chilling, his gaze so cold it was terrifying, even horrifying to her.
His chest heaved with rapid breaths, signifying his rage as if he was about to devour someone.
Lu Wanwan suddenly realized that he might be even angrier than she had thought.
"I’m sorry, I can’t walk that fast..." Lu Wanwan’s lips were so tightly pressed they turned white.
She thought about what had just happened, and then the overwhelming news coverage that followed.
Even though they had not made their marital issues public, she wondered what Gu Annan would think when he saw the news.
Gu Annan’s scornful gaze met hers as each word seemed to pop out from between his teeth, "You can’t walk that fast, or you don’t want to?
She was at a loss for words for a moment. She was drugged, but then what? How did it happen?
Gu Annan couldn’t wait for her to sort through her thoughts. He scooped her up in his arms, and, brushing past her face, quickly descended the stairs.
He didn’t want to stay in this place for another moment.
Lu Wanwan dared not move or speak.
He moved particularly fast, carrying her as if she was weightless, and they quickly went down thirty floors.
When they exited through the hotel’s side door, the car was indeed already waiting there.
Gu Annan, holding her, made a few quick strides to the car and pulled the door open.
Suddenly, the sound of cameras clicking erupted.
Lu Wanwan felt the arms holding her tighten abruptly.
She was put in the car, and from outside came the sound of cameras being smashed, followed by Gu Annan’s low growl of "Get lost."
The car didn’t head towards the apartment they both lived in, but drove straight back to the Gu Mansion.
On the way, she looked at Gu Annan’s dark and cold face countless times, feeling the urge to explain.
But by now, the situation had escalated beyond the point of being resolved by a few quick explanations.
Arriving at the Gu Mansion, Gu Annan didn’t utter a word and immediately carried her out of the car.
As soon as Aunt Li opened the door and saw what was happening, she became flustered, "Young Master, what’s happened?"
With a somber face, Gu Annan didn’t respond at all and quickly went upstairs with her.
Aunt Li was stunned; it was the first time she had seen the Young Master this angry. She wondered what the Young Madam could have done that the Young Master might not forgive her for.
"Aunt Li." The servant came out with a phone, showing her, "It seems to be quite serious."
Aunt Li was shocked as soon as she saw it.
She hurriedly took the phone from the servant for a closer look and even watched the video.
The Young Madam was caught booking a room with Bai Lingyun?
If it wasn’t for the photos and the undeniable content in the video, she would never believe such an event had occurred.
"The Young Madam would actually do this..." The servant also found it inconceivable.
The reality was right before their eyes: in the video, after the reporters burst in, it showed Bai Lingyun and Lu Wanwan, who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
From beginning to end, Bai Lingyun didn’t say anything, offered no explanation, and shut the door on them.
It was only after the hotel staff came to disperse the situation did the reporters get chased out.
"This is bad, there’s also this." A servant in her thirties found another piece, "Isn’t this the Young Master? The Young Master bringing the Young Madam back was also captured. If this gets tied to the Young Master’s identity, I’m afraid..."
Aunt Li’s face turned exceptionally grim; despite her reluctance to believe the reporter’s nonsense, the video seemed to tell the whole story plainly.
