Lu Wanwan glanced at the man dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wondering if such a resolute and noble man would actually climb over the railing.
Clearly, after taking a look, Gu Annan was also considering it.
Just now, his mind had been thrown into disarray by this woman, and he hadn’t thought about how to get to the car if it arrived.
Before he could speak, Lu Wanwan beat him to it, "I can’t walk anymore, let’s climb over it!"
The railing was just at the level of her waist, not too high, and she could step onto the lower level to climb over, at worst, it just wouldn’t look very graceful.
For Gu Annan, it was probably just a step away...
Gu Annan glanced at her, "You can’t walk now, is your stamina that bad?"
Lu Wanwan gave him a glare and reached for the iron railing, ready to start climbing.
"Wait," Gu Annan said, looking down and pulling her back.
Before Lu Wanwan could react, he had already swiftly crossed over.
Lu Wanwan stepped up a bit and was directly lifted down by him.
The driver, seeing all this from the rearview mirror of the car, was utterly shocked.
As she was set down, he patted her lightly, "Not next time."
"We’ll see about that!" She quickly opened the car door and got in.
The car once again headed towards the Gu Corporation’s branch building, the tallest skyscraper in Xigang.
Lu Wanwan stood on the rooftop, overlooking the entire city, and beyond that, the beach and the sea.
The seawater churned in waves under the night breeze.
"Actually, it’s quite beautiful here," she remarked.
"Stay here for a while?"
Lu Wanwan shook her head. Her day and night in Xigang could only be a beautiful accident.
People always have to return to their actual lives.
She needed to go back to work, and she had two children waiting for her.
Gu Annan also had to return to the Gu family, with pressures he could never shirk.
In the end, she still had to face how to tell him that she hadn’t come back alone, how to reveal to him that she had secretly given birth to two little "buns" without letting him know.
"I didn’t say to move here permanently. Taking a few days off is no big deal."
Lu Wanwan still shook her head.
Gu Annan knew what she was worried about. He took out his phone again and found that Mu Xing had not replied to his messages.
His frown deepened, and he promptly explained the situation to Zhao Chen, ordering him to investigate immediately.
"If you don’t want to, then let’s not dawdle. Let’s go." He felt a nagging urgency inside.
Mu Xing had always been a reliable subordinate, even though he had been having frequent issues recently.
But he had never gone so far as not to return even his messages.
Since Lu Wanwan didn’t bring it up, he didn’t want her to know about these things for the time being, much less worry because of them, so he couldn’t discuss them in front of her.
Once they returned to the hotel on the other side, he would be able to deal with the matter alone.
"You..." Lu Wanwan glared at him. With a huff, she walked toward the helicopter.
She took Gu Annan’s urging as his impatience.
But she definitely wouldn’t let him have his way today!
Otherwise, once a precedent was set, there could be a next time. Before things are clear, she couldn’t let matters spiral out of control.
Gu Annan temporarily instructed Zhao Chen to drop all other tasks and investigate, then boarded the airplane.
"Hurry up, let’s head over there, shall we?" Lu Wanwan pointed towards the beach.
She had heard that the beaches in Xigang had particularly clear waters.
Since her arrival today, she hadn’t really had a chance to appreciate them.
All she had cared about was how to drive him out of the hotel room on Gale Island.
Gu Annan glanced over. If it weren’t for the urgency of time and the inconvenience of taking phone calls during the flight, he would naturally be willing to go along with her wishes.
