"Mommy, brother said you work so hard, but I really want to see you soon. Mommy, I miss you so much, can we go home together?"
"..." Lu Wanwan was too shocked by the news to speak.
Gu Annan was right here, but the two little Naibaos were also here.
What if they bumped into each other...
"Mommy, we worked so hard to find this place. Mommy, if... if you’re very busy, brother and I will go back..."
That voice, filled with disappointment, made it especially hard for her to bear.
Too much time had been spent by just the two siblings on their own, without much company.
Now, during the summer holiday, and in a city that was strange to them, there were no playmates to accompany them.
"It’s not that, I, I’m almost done with work. I’ll contact you later, I have an emergency right now."
"Really? Does that mean brother and I can keep waiting for you?"
"Okay, goodbye Mommy, I love you, Mommy!"
In the corner of her eye, the man was still standing there in the distance, as if waiting for her.
"Mommy, why didn’t you say you love us too?"
"My boss is here, I’ll talk to you later, goodbye!" Lu Wanwan said quickly and hung up the phone.
Her heart was about to leap out of her chest, and the drowsiness from before was completely swept away by the phone call, making her completely focused.
Walking over with difficulty, she had thought that Gu Annan would be nosy and ask whom she had been talking to.
Unexpectedly, he only handed her a stack of documents and said, "Let’s go."
What did that mean, for her to go with him?
She hadn’t agreed to have dinner with him!
Lu Wanwan was in a state of confusion and urgency; her anger from just a moment ago had vanished without a trace.
She followed Gu Annan out, then texted Little Momo, asking where they were.
"Um, President Gu, where are you going?" Her presence diminished instantly; once in the elevator, her voice was much quieter.
"To take you to dinner," he said, closing the elevator door.
Lu Wanwan was frantic, knowing that whether she agreed or not, Gu Annan was going to leave MG now.
She checked her phone a few times, but Momo hadn’t replied to her texts. What was that kid doing?
"What do you want to eat?" Gu Annan, seeing her so anxious she was breaking into a sweat, asked, "Are you that hungry?"
Suddenly, he reached out his hand and placed it on her forehead, "Do you have a fever? You look so pale."
Lu Wanwan shoved him hard, but ended up in the corner of the elevator.
The panicked look in her eyes didn’t escape him, and with a raised eyebrow, Gu Annan teased, "What are you afraid of? Am I going to eat you?"
"..." She frowned and glared at him, but had no energy to argue.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and in a low, deep voice, he said, "Do you know that you look like..."
Like she was inviting him.
He pursed his lips, feeling his breathing become slightly erratic the moment he had touched her.
"Wanwan." Gu Annan, looking at her nervous and slightly flushed face, spoke in a very sexy, husky voice.
Lu Wanwan’s phone vibrated, and she hurriedly took it out to check.
"Mommy, we’re at the entrance to the parking lot."
Her heartbeat quickened, especially because of seeing a message calling her "Mommy" in front of him.
"Look at me." His voice came from above, demanding attention.
Her hand was suddenly caught by his, pressed down.
"What are you looking at on the phone?" One of his hands was braced next to her head, the other, gripping hers tightly.
Lu Wanwan’s heart raced to her throat, not daring to resist, just afraid he would suddenly snatch her phone to see what was on it.
"I’m looking at you! I’m looking at you!" she blurted out.
