Her expression stiffened, and the corner of her eye twitched!
"Do you want to test if my words always hold true?"
Lu Wanwan calmly picked up a strawberry with her fork and brought it to his lips, stuffing it forcefully into his mouth as he opened it.
Fortunately, Gu Annan did not continue to trouble her. After feeding her, he just left her with the words, "Eat slowly."
She was stunned for a moment. Had he really not reacted to her previous words?
Did he ignore her warning because he didn’t take it to heart, or did he decide it was too difficult to pursue further?
She couldn’t figure it out at the moment. Since Gu Annan didn’t further inquire whether she had made things clear to the two babies, she decided not to bring it up either.
The car soon arrived at the company. As she was getting out, she heard him ask, "What time do you get off work?"
"Is something the matter?"
Gu Annan glanced at her, "Can’t I ask without a reason?"
"Hard to say." She had already opened the car door and, after thinking for a bit, added, "I leave the company at one time, but there’s also an interview. It’s hard to say. What exactly do you need?"
"Nothing important." He withdrew his gaze indifferently.
Always needing to clarify everything, what a nuisance.
Lu Wanwan found it somewhat baffling. Seeing him turn his head away, she got out of the car.
Since there was nothing important, she decided to go see the doctor she had an appointment with that afternoon.
The hospital was very upscale and particularly expensive; she didn’t want to reschedule unless it was for something very important, otherwise, the booking fee would be wasted.
Gu Annan watched her simply get out of the car and walk away without saying a word to him, not even a goodbye.
The previously easing expression on his face turned cloudy immediately after Lu Wanwan got out.
After a long pause, the driver cautiously asked, "Mr. Gu, shall we head to the office now?"
"Where else could we go?" Gu Annan’s voice carried a trace of emotion, his expression still cool and detached.
Arriving at the office in a bad mood, the secretary felt somewhat uneasy seeing his demeanor.
But since Assistant Zhao was not there, she had no choice but to say, "Mr. Gu, Miss Shuman is here."
She had clearly heard from Assistant Zhao that the pressure about facing Mr. Gu could be lessened recently, yet today his expression was so tense.
"Who?" Gu Annan had just sat down and looked up at the sound of the secretary’s voice.
The secretary was somewhat nervous, "Shu, Miss Shuman. She arrived at the company very early, waiting to speak with Mr. Gu when you arrived."
Lately, the winds of rumor had shifted unpredictably, previously Miss Shuman had clearly been rumored to be Mr. Gu’s fiancée, but in recent days there had already been reports clarifying that those were false rumors.
Moreover, the news about Mr. Gu reconciling with his ex-wife was buzzing loudly.
So Miss Shuman’s recent visit made people unsure of how to approach her.
"Did I have an appointment with her this morning?" asked Gu Annan coldly.
"Originally, there was none."
The secretary was also very troubled.
Gu Yunsi and Miss Shuman were very close, and the secretary broached this topic with Mr. Gu only because of Gu Yunsi’s instructions.
After all, she was Mr. Gu’s cousin, and now in the company, no one dared to offend her.
"Then there’s no need to ask further."
The secretary continued, "Miss Shuman said she has something very important and it won’t take up much of your time."
Gu Annan hadn’t expected her to be so insistent.
After thinking it over, he said, "Let her in. But next time this happens, just refuse. If there’s no appointment, don’t bother asking me. I don’t have that much time."
After the secretary left, Shuman quickly entered the office.
