As she lifted her gaze into his deep, vast pupils, there was a kind of heat that felt both familiar and heart-pounding.
Even the palm of her hand she was holding seemed to be burning.
She faintly sensed a hint of amusement in his eyes, but with those two little runaways on her mind, she simply had no desire to dwell on Gu Annan.
"If you’re going out to eat, where will you go?" she asked, her eyes fixed intently on him.
"Houstin Road?" he inquired.
"That’s so far away..."
"There’s no traffic now, a twenty-minute car ride," he said indifferently.
Lu Wanwan felt another strike of mental paralysis.
Indeed, wherever Gu Annan went, he had to go by car.
Even if his license was confiscated, he would still have his driver take him.
"Your... your car, where is it?" Lu Wanwan didn’t realize she was almost in his arms, her hand held, and her soft spoken manner was so compliant.
She looked down, biting her lip.
She wanted to send a text to Little Naibao, telling them to go somewhere else, but her hand was tightly held by him.
And he wouldn’t let her check her phone.
The elevator suddenly stopped, and the doors opened.
Just as she was about to step out, a firm grip tightened around her waist, and then her head was pressed against his chest.
"We’re not there yet."
The two people who had entered the elevator glanced at them, with a look of surprise on their faces.
Under Gu Annan’s warning gaze, they consciously moved to the other side and dared not look anymore.
Lu Wanwan was held tightly in his embrace, her face so flushed it seemed it could drip blood, but if she moved any more at that moment, wouldn’t it just attract more attention?
What the hell is this asshole up to!
They reached the designated floor in the middle and stepped off the elevator.
It was only then that Gu Annan let her go, and with her face flush with annoyance, he pressed the button to close the doors and said indifferently, "I was just covering your face."
Lu Wanwan was just glad that no one had seen her face just then.
But she quickly realized...
Wouldn’t it have been better if he had simply distanced himself from her and pretended not to know her?
She was holding back anger, but more urgently, she didn’t want him to head to the parking lot.
Taking the chance, Lu Wanwan quickly sent a message to Little Momo, telling him to take his sister to the back door of MG, saying she was a bit occupied and asking Uncle Bai to take them to eat first.
When she followed Gu Annan out of the elevator, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But just to be safe, she still couldn’t let Gu Annan get near the parking lot, because she hadn’t received the text from Little Momo confirming they had successfully evacuated.
Walking ahead, Gu Annan interrupted her as soon as she began to speak, "Don’t call me President Gu."
They were about to walk out of the headquarters building, and he continued, "We’ve left your company, this has nothing to do with work."
Lu Wanwan decided to go along with him for the sake of the current awkward situation, "Then I won’t call you President Gu."
"Neither Mr. Gu, nor Young Master Gu will do," he said leisurely as he walked down the steps, adding casually.
She scoffed internally, was she supposed to call him ex-husband?
She decided not to call him anything.
Following him down the stairs, she glanced toward the parking lot from afar and was so shocked she nearly missed a step.
She rushed to grab Gu Annan’s arm, "Wait a minute."
Gu Annan turned his head, noticing the hand she was gripping his with and not letting go.
Lu Wanwan would rather have him look at her strangely than let him continue walking towards the parking lot.
She really had to pull out all the stops!
"Are you inviting me out to eat?" She stood on a step higher than him but was still not as tall.
Her hand clung on, her posture that of a girl in love, coquettishly entwined with her beau.
Gu Annan eyed her, lightly making a sound of agreement, his voice pleasing to the ear.
