Lu Wanwan had been somewhat nervous just moments ago, but his "seriousness" quickly eased her.
"Is it because, you’ve been with someone else during this time?" he asked again.
She opened her mouth, momentarily speechless.
So Gu Annan was also someone who could overthink things.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.
Gu Annan looked at her small eyes and the small hands that were nervously clutching his sleeve.
This tension seemed contagious, quietly causing him a rare sense of panic.
"Gu Annan, don’t tell me you’ve never?"
He was silent for a long while before slowly starting to speak, his voice somewhat hoarse, "No."
Lu Wanwan felt her heartbeat almost stop as he looked at her, and she took a deep breath, "Actually, I haven’t either."
Her voice was very soft, her clear eyes in the dark, calmly looking at him.
His eyes brightened, but his eyebrows were quickly deeply furrowed.
"Gu Annan, I said I haven’t!" Lu Wanwan stated clearly.
Again, a long silence ensued, but his expression grew even more stern.
She suddenly felt a bit anxious.
All of a sudden, the man’s large palm pressed her down hard on the bed, his dark eyes locked, his gaze intense, he gritted his teeth, "Then I need to check thoroughly!"
"I really have something to tell you!" Lu Wanwan quickly held on, looking intently at him, "I can’t agree to your request right now."
The night grew deeper, the cool moonlight poured into the room.
After Lu Wanwan explained everything clearly, not surprisingly, she saw his face dark enough to rain.
"I need to see Song Ning tomorrow, I received her text today, not sure if there is a result yet." she continued, "Do... do you want to come with me?"
He lowered his gaze, his eyes shifting toward her, the harshness in his demeanor dissipating somewhat.
Yet, the fierceness in his brows did not lessen by half.
"Let’s go." He spoke flatly, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"
It was only now he understood that every time he tried to get closer to her, she didn’t feel any joy, only an uncontrollable intense resistance.
"Initially, I didn’t even think in that direction," Lu Wanwan stared at the ceiling, "I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I thought of many possibilities. Most I could think of were my own, so I didn’t tell you."
Gu Annan scowled, unavoidably recalling that night.
When he had brought her back from the hotel, and knew she had been drugged, seeing the abnormal flush on her body, he thought she was under that type of drug.
The thought of her being drugged yet in the same room with another man sent shivers of dread through him.
One reason he forced her that day was because he thought she needed it, just because they were quarreling and in a cold war he restrained himself.
He thought that even though she was cold towards him on the surface and uncooperative, her body’s response would still be the same as every time they were together.
Little did he know, she had already been drugged at that time, enduring his advances in pain.
No wonder she changed so much afterward, rejecting all his advances, only giving him divorce papers.
The reasons she still hadn’t figured out to this day, even less so in that situation then.
At that thought, he even felt an urge to immediately find and confront the culprit.
Gu Annan’s face tightened, his gaze murderous.
True to Cesar’s style, knowing that even aphrodisiacs wouldn’t work, only a drug with the opposite effect was key.
From the beginning, he hadn’t planned to let them off with just a misunderstanding involving being drugged and caught by reporters.
