Chapter 146: Chapter 146 I can do it myself Chapter 146: Chapter 146 I can do it myself “Pop”, Lu Wanwan closed the photo album, it was better to forget this whole thing.
But where to hide it…
She scanned the bookshelf up and down. The bookshelf was as large as a whole wall, neatly stuffed with books. There weren’t many gaps.
Hiding things shouldn’t typically be done right under one’s nose, but the most dangerous places are, indeed, the safest.
After Gu Annan left the study, he didn’t see Lu Wanwan in the room and didn’t know where she had run off to.
There was an open room on the second floor, with a wall-sized bookshelf filled with assorted books.
He heard a noise and walked over, only to see Lu Wanwan holding that photo album, looking distressedly at the bookshelf, as if looking for a place to hide it.
She tilted her head to look upward at the bookshelf, the faint ceiling light casting down, enveloping her in a halo of light that made her smooth and fair skin seem to shine.
Gu Annan paused for a long ti and did not imdiately walk over.
From this angle, he could only see her profile. Although the swollen bump on her forehead was sowhat unsightly, it did nothing to detract from her exquisite features.
Her long, curled eyelashes cast clear shadows on her eyelids, and her lips were slightly pursed, shaping a beautiful contour that he found incredibly compelling…
He hadn’t yet lifted his foot when she seed to find the right spot.
Standing on her tiptoes, she tried to place the photo album on the bookshelf, which was more than a head taller than her.
Lu Wanwan wasn’t short, but this height was indeed a bit too challenging for her. She could barely reach, but she couldn’t quite manage to squeeze the album into place.
For so reason, she seed set on that particular spot and insisted on putting it there.
“Bang—”
The album didn’t fit and instead fell from her hands to the floor.
“Gu Annan?” Lu Wanwan saw a shadow quickly approaching from the ground.
Gu Annan suddenly stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowing, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m putting things away.” She quickly picked up the album from the ground, holding it again in her hands, “Do you need sothing?”
His face suddenly beca overcast.
If it hadn’t been for his instinctual worry that she might be hit, he wouldn’t have run over so urgently.
She actually asked him if he needed sothing! Couldn’t he appear before her without a reason?
“You almost got hit just putting things away, do you want to disfigure your face again?” his face darkened, “Did you apply dicine today?”
“I did.” Lu Wanwan found his sudden anger baffling and answered diligently, “I applied dicine on ti during the day.”
“Then how co it hasn’t worked at all!”
It had only been one day; no dicine was that miraculous.
“It has worked, look, it’s already half gone.” She hurriedly pointed at her forehead, urging him to look closer.
She had really been ticulous about treating it for the sake of her appearance, and not just to avoid being mistaken for soone suffering from dostic violence—as a girl, she wouldn’t want to go out looking like this all the ti.
Gu Annan’s brows furrowed even tighter as he looked at the swelling, “Co with .”
She obediently followed him into the room, where he had already picked up a bottle of dicine.
“I was just about to…” she started saying, but he pushed her, not so gently, to sit at the edge of the bed.
Lu Wanwan watched him unscrew the dicine bottle, his movents sharp and decisive, matching his expression; it really made one wonder if he was about to apply dicine or commit murder.
“I can do it myself.” She moved her head back a bit, “You don’t have to bother.”
Gu Annan gave her a stern look and held her head in place.
Seeing that her unruly hands still wanted to ddle, he lightly warned, “If you back away again, you’re going to end up lying on the bed.”
