Chapter 55: Chapter 55: The Repressed and Lonely Individual
Finally, she saw a particularly tall and robust man standing guard in front of a private room.
Lu Wanwan remembered this man; he was the same bodyguard who appeared before Qiao Moran and another unfamiliar man got out of the car earlier.
“Miss, who are you?” the bodyguard stopped her.
Immediately, Lu Wanwan placed her hand on her temple, her face a portrait of seductive haziness, and her body began to lean towards the door, “I’ve had a few too many drinks and seem to have lost my way. Handsome, can you let me in to have a look? Maybe I just came out of this room…”
She had intended to collapse softly and ‘unintentionally’ open the door to the private room in the process.
All of a sudden, the bodyguard extended his hand to stop her, “You can’t go in.”
Lu Wanwan was wearing a form-fitting dress. Although the neckline wasn’t low, the curve of her bust was particularly beautiful.
From such a close distance, after blocking her, the hand that should have been hastily retracted paused for a moment.
This woman had a great figure. If she insisted on going in, then it was inevitable that a bit of physical conflict would occur in the process of him dutifully stopping her…
Lu Wanwan particularly disliked being touched by others. When the bodyguard touched her arm, she instinctively wanted to pull back. Unexpectedly, he grabbed her arm instead. Could it be that they would detain and interrogate her for an attempted intrusion?
Suddenly, the bodyguard spoke out anxiously.
As he spoke, Lu Wanwan’s wrist was tightly gripped and she was yanked over.
Gu Annan’s face was iron-blue; he had seen everything clearly from before.
It was bad enough for the bodyguard to seek his own death. Why did this woman not resist? She just let someone touch her so easily?
“This woman tried to sneak in,” the bodyguard hastily explained.
Lu Wanwan really wanted to discuss life with the bodyguard. She could’ve said she mistook the room, why must he tell the truth!
It was as if the air pressure dropped in an instant. She lifted her head to meet Gu Annan’s icy gaze and shivered.
His eyes and brows were filled with chill, and after glancing sharply at her, his gaze swept toward the bodyguard, who instantly broke out in cold sweat.
“Get lost!” Gu Annan’s tightly pressed lips uttered harshly.
“Mr. Gu, I’ll immediately throw her out.”
“I’m sorry, I’ll leave right now…”
Both voices nearly sounded at the same time.
Lu Wanwan, thinking she was being sent away, was just about to turn around when her wrist was gripped again.
“I told you to get lost!” Gu Annan grasped Lu Wanwan, his face dark as he enunciated each word to the bodyguard.
The short, forceful sound made his chest tremble. The fury seemed as if it could transfer through the thin shirt, and Lu Wanwan didn’t dare to move a half-step.
The bodyguard trembled, “I need to stay here to protect Mr. Qiao…”
“As of now, you are fired by Qiao Moran. Get out immediately,” Gu Annan commanded.
Only then did the bodyguard leave hastily without daring to raise his head.
The door to the private room opened, and Gu Annan’s grip still hadn’t loosened. She staggered as she followed him inside, and immediately several pairs of eyes looked over.
“Gu Annan, can you let go of me first…”
Before her voice fell, Gu Annan had already let go of her hand, his face still cold, and without looking back, he headed toward the sofa.
She stood there, bewildered by the door, torn between staying and leaving.
If she left now, thinking about the mission made her unwilling!
If she stayed, he would just leave her there, and she’d be obliging with a warm face to his cold ass.
“Here she comes.” Ji Shaoyang was the first to speak out, flashing a smile at her and pointing to the seat next to Gu Annan, “Isn’t that Lu Wanwan? Come and sit; it’s been a long time.”
The reclusive brooder thought to himself, if he didn’t speak up to help, Lu Wanwan might just turn around and leave!
