"Okay," his sexy voice casually fell upon her ear, "but I don’t know what to buy, will you help me purchase it?"
Lu Wanwan was embraced too tightly by him, the heat from his body made her unavoidably worried.
"Stop fooling around, hurry up and change your clothes, you still need to go to the company," she said, steadying her mind.
Gu Annan increasingly didn’t want to let go, his chin resting against her forehead.
One day, this woman would drive him mad.
His hot lips caressed her face, pressing close as he spoke, "There’s still some time, for what you ran away from last night, when will you make it up to me?"
Lu Wanwan dared not to think about these things, feeling especially troubled whenever she did.
All she could murmur was, "I already told you to stop it. Gu Annan, didn’t you say you’d give me time? Six years isn’t short, I can’t act as if those years never happened. We are not who we were before, whatever we do for the reporters is one thing, but still, we need to think things clearly."
His body tensed up, "Do you think you still haven’t thought it through?"
Lu Wanwan nodded, whether it was seeing a doctor or whatever, she had to understand where this psychological barrier came from.
In those six years, she never took any man to that step, so she was completely clueless.
The only possibility she could think of was because of that forceful encounter with him.
That was the last time.
Gu Annan’s previous apology had been accepted by her, and she didn’t want to burden him with further psychological distress because of that incident.
She needed some time to resolve the issue on her own.
Otherwise, how was she supposed to reply?
Because you forced yourself on me six years ago, now I have an uncontrollable psychological shadow against you and can’t accept being too intimate with you?
"I think we both need to think," she said calmly, "a lot of things don’t just disappear because they’re in the past, let’s just cool down for a while."
After a moment, he let out a low "hmm."
Gu Annan had never considered this problem because there were things he had thought about far too much over these six years.
Now, none of these issues seemed to be a problem for him.
But perhaps, he was the only one who could let go of the past, while for Lu Wanwan, it was still a chasm entrenched within her heart.
"How long do you need to think?" he asked, slowly letting go.
"Anyway, I promised you, I’ll go to the old house with you next week, I won’t break my word, okay?" She detected the somber tone in his voice and looked up at him with bright, glistening eyes, "Your grandmother wants a great-grandchild, isn’t that the best birthday gift?"
Gu Annan glanced at her helplessly, seeing her placating smile, and he felt the urge to bite that small lip hard again.
She was certainly taking revenge on him by rejecting him while simultaneously telling him that she would eventually give in.
"Don’t tell me there are some rules about needing to maintain distance during this period you’re thinking it over," his eyes narrowed, seizing the opportunity, his tone filled with displeased coldness, "if you say something like I’m a distraction that affects your thoughts, then let’s call off the discussion right now!"
"I didn’t say that," she muttered.
All she wanted was some time to see a doctor, maybe that was all she could do.
For her, that was the only issue.
She didn’t want to spend her days looking at the dissatisfied face of this man, how terrifying that would be!
"Next Friday," he finally relented, "at that time, no excuses, even if you have the most urgent matter, you’ll have to take your person along."
Who he wanted to be with was always up to him.
But his grandmother insisted on involving another person, and he just wanted to make an appearance to fulfill the obligation.
The scandal he orchestrated today was also his attitude towards everyone.
