Chapter 77: Chapter 77 The Childish Woman Who Deliberately Calls Him Mr. Gu
“Miss Xu Yuan, I strongly demand that you call me immediately after you turn on your phone! Being shut off all day is severely damaging the rights of emotional support and concern I should enjoy as your best friend!”
Lu Wanwan stood on the balcony, leaving Xu Yuan a voice message in a stern and clear tone.
Really, she had just been released from the police station yesterday and today she’s vanished after turning off her phone for the entire day.
Even if she set aside her own need to vent her frustrations after being disgusted by Lu Kexin, she still wanted to know if Xu Yuan was alright.
Ling Xiaoxue’s PR team had already quickly issued a statement, not making any excuses or evasions, mainly focusing on apologizing to the victim.
But that was just PR; with Ling Xiaoxue receiving such a blow to her career, would she be content?
Lu Wanwan suddenly recalled the phone call from Gu Annan yesterday, who exactly had helped Xu Yuan smooth over the issue?
In any case, it had nothing to do with Gu Annan!
Lu Wanwan prepared to enter the room and suddenly halted in her tracks as she turned around.
Next to her desk, leaning against it at some point, was a tall and elegant figure.
Gu Annan had his hands in the pockets of his dress pants, his side profile perfectly proportioned and striking.
He watched her still-open laptop with a slightly bowed head, only lifting his gaze to her as she walked in from the balcony.
“Gu Annan, don’t you knock before entering?” Lu Wanwan’s annoyance flared up unexpectedly, pushing aside her own situation.
“I knocked, and then I remembered, I don’t need your permission to come in,” he murmured word by word.
Right, this is his house, she was placed here by him for several tens of thousands, so that his fiancée wouldn’t feel threatened.
“Mr. Gu, do you need something from me?” She quickly adopted a strictly businesslike demeanor.
Gu Annan’s lengthy, rippling black eyes slightly closed and opened, staring at her quietly for a moment, clearly in a bad mood.
Every time she felt aggrieved, she would intentionally use a distant tone to call him Mr. Gu, as if afraid he wouldn’t catch on.
“Did you handle the matter I asked you to?” he asked nonchalantly, parting his thin lips lightly.
Lu Wanwan came in, her voice a bit muffled, “I bought it. Though there was a problem, there was no stock in the store, and it can’t be obtained tomorrow. If you’re in a hurry, should I go buy another one now?”
She had remembered after coming back that Lu Kexin’s birthday was tomorrow, but the watch she had bought couldn’t be delivered by then.
“It’s fine as long as you’ve bought it; no need to deliver it. I’ll arrange for someone to send it abroad directly.”
“Abroad? You don’t need it tomorrow?” She looked at him in complete surprise.
Gu Annan raised a slight curve, asking softly in return, “When did I say I needed it tomorrow?”
“But, her birthday is tomorrow…” The more Lu Wanwan spoke, the more confused she became, her gaze towards Gu Annan growing uncertain.
“Whose birthday is tomorrow?” he countered, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“Nothing, no one’s birthday is tomorrow…” Her heart leaped with joy, and she shook her head without hesitation.
So it had nothing to do with Lu Kexin after all. She suddenly felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, and the gloominess from the afternoon was swept away.
But as she raised her smiling eyes, she saw Gu Annan’s piercing black eyes fixed firmly on her, not intending to let her get away with brushing off the matter.
“Lu Kexin’s birthday is tomorrow…” Lu Wanwan bit her lip, unable to meet his unfathomable gaze, yet somehow she blurted out, “Do you need me to buy another gift?”
