"If you’re unwilling, then forget it. I’ll go by myself," he said, his gaze drifting over her face.
"Can we go somewhere else?" Lu Wanwan had only one thought in mind—she couldn’t let him head to the parking lot.
At the moment, the only thing she could do was to try all means to lure him somewhere else.
It seemed that agreeing to have a meal was the only option available.
"Sure," he responded nonchalantly, still watching her, waiting.
Little Naibao definitely couldn’t just wait here idly; she didn’t know whether he hadn’t received her message or if there was some other reason, but he was unexpectedly lingering by the entrance to the parking lot.
She could only text later to ask Bai Lingyun or his assistant to pick them up and take them somewhere else to eat, and she would join them a bit later.
For the short term, that was the only idea she could come up with.
Gu Annan noticed her distracted, scheming expression and pretended he didn’t want to just wait around idly, ready to continue towards the parking lot.
"Wait, wait a moment..." Lu Wanwan wouldn’t let go, following him closely. She firmly pulled him in a different direction, forcing a strained smile on her face, "How about we eat somewhere close by?"
"Somewhere close?" he seemed to consider it, deliberately noting the way she was gripping him.
Lu Wanwan shamelessly held on without letting go, ready to throw all caution to the wind.
"Let’s eat nearby, I’m so hungry," she said, one hand still clinging to him, while the other covered her stomach, "I didn’t eat this morning, just had two cups of coffee, I’m really hungry, I don’t want to go somewhere far."
Gu Annan obliged and reached out to touch her stomach as he spoke, "A nearby place is quicker by car, just a few minutes."
It seemed like she really hadn’t eaten, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"I know a delicious place, I’m dying to eat there, but it’s not easy to drive into. Shall we walk? Please?" she pleaded with clear eyes, forgetting the discomfort she should feel from his hand so intimately placed above her belly.
"Acting coquettish?" he teased with a barely visible smile on his lips, "This is right outside your company."
Lu Wanwan felt like turning to stone.
No, she was about to break down!
It was the first time she felt her heart was so fragile.
One side was Little Naibao who must not be discovered, on the other was her image continuing to crumble.
Having a scandalous divorce yet openly flirting with her ex-husband, she could only laugh dryly at the thought.
But what did it matter? She could disregard her reputation.
"I don’t mind, as long as you don’t either, we can continue however you want," he murmured near her ear, tilting his head slightly down.
Lu Wanwan forced a smile, secretly grinding her teeth.
Wait until this was over, to see if she would continue to "act coquettish."
"Let’s go have dinner, come on!" she said with a forced smile, while linking his arm and walking in the opposite direction of the parking lot.
Gu Annan truly didn’t want to do anything; she couldn’t force him.
Her little strength was nothing in front of him.
But with just a gentle tug, he actually followed her, leaving Lu Wanwan with a strange flutter in her heart.
However, as soon as she recalled the way he looked at his phone just now, she immediately quashed those flickering thoughts.
Things shouldn’t happen thrice, and she couldn’t stumble a third time with this man.
This was enduring humiliation!
"Oh?" Both little Naibaos were staring in that direction.
Little Youyou looked at her mommy in surprise, seeing how affectionate she was with that uncle.
"Brother, Mommy seems to really like him, doesn’t she?"
Little Momo was deep in thought.
Little Youyou remembered the binoculars in her little backpack, immediately took off her backpack, and unzipped it.
