The intense coldness inherent in his bones made Meng Qin quickly retract his gaze.
Meng Qin didn’t know what had happened, but with Gu Annan so furious, he dared not provoke him.
"Please, Mr. Gu, calm down. I’m leaving at once." He stepped back and quickly ran off.
Lu Wanwan stood in the corner of the wall, trying her best to shield her back.
She coldly watched Gu Annan, who after sending Meng Qin away, walked towards her in silence.
"It’s my turn to leave, right?"
Gu Annan glanced at her, his eyes seemingly dark and so profound that nothing was discernible.
Then, he took off his suit jacket and handed it over, "Put this on."
Lu Wanwan didn’t immediately take it, unable to figure out what was up with him today.
Could it be that men also have a few days each month now?
"Do I need to help you put it on?" he raised his eyebrows at her, who was still not reaching out her hand.
No sooner had his words fallen than she, without any hesitation, put the jacket on.
His clothes were too large for her, and she was completely swallowed up when she put them on.
There was still his body heat on the clothes, along with a faint scent of mint.
Her frown deepened, wanting nothing more than to stay away from him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gu. Goodbye." Lu Wanwan didn’t want to stay any longer and walked away after speaking.
Gu Annan wasn’t the least bit surprised by her actions. He reached out, pulled her back, and held her in his embrace to control her struggling, while his other hand took out car keys.
"Gu Annan, what are you doing now!"
Facing her anger, he responded lightly as he walked, "I’m taking you home."
Lu Wanwan, remembering this man’s audacity, realized he might actually go straight up to her apartment.
But at home, there were two Little Naibaos that he must not see.
Heart pounding, she hastily said, "No need, I’ll take a taxi home. Mr. Gu, there’s really no need to trouble you. It was my fault just now. You lending me a jacket is already a great kindness. I’d rather not trouble you further. We should not be in the same car. If the reporters see us, it will damage your reputation..."
"Do you plan to return my jacket to me next time by wearing it?"
Lu Wanwan tugged at the corner of her mouth. Truly shamelessly narcissistic, actually thinking she would use this as an excuse to create another chance to meet him?
"Rest assured, I will return the jacket..."
"If not, then get in the car." He really had no patience to listen to her finish explaining.
Gu Annan directly opened the passenger door for her, watching as her brow grew tighter and her gaze more troubled and complex.
He remembered that matter and knew the reason for her dilemma.
"Or do you think I’m going to follow you all the way home?"
Lu Wanwan looked up. Isn’t that so?
"I don’t have that much free time." He pointed his chin inward, "Get in, otherwise I’ll come to your place."
Lu Wanwan let out a cold snort, glared back at him angrily, and got into the car quite unwillingly!
Gu Annan’s phone rang; it was Mu Xing calling.
He glanced at the woman inside the car, grinding her teeth in anger, then walked a few steps away.
"They ran away?" he heard the message on the other end of the phone, and his voice instantly chilled.
"Mr. Gu, you said not to scare them and to satisfy all their requirements as much as possible. Initially, the two children were quite happy, with no guard up at all, so we lowered our guard... but we’ve started searching now! Don’t worry, Mr. Gu, there are only private cars in the vicinity of the hotel, taxis don’t linger, and I don’t think they could have gotten very far..."
Gu Annan was silent for a moment, unable to help but look back towards the car.
How did he raise them to be so cunning?
