Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Co Over, Let’s Eat Together Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Co Over, Let’s Eat Together The secretary hesitated for a mont, then nodded instinctively.
“So now, it’s just Mr. Gu alone in there, right?”
Still clueless, the secretary nodded again.
“Great.” Lu Wanwan sighed in relief and strode towards the office while holding the takeout.
Suddenly, the secretary realized sothing, “But…”
She watched as Miss Lu pushed open the door to the office.
“But… Mr. Gu is about to have a eting soon.”
The secretary didn’t know whether to worry more about how to inform about the eting or about the wrath Miss Lu was about to face.
What if Miss Lu triggered Mr. Gu’s anger again? Would she, the one notifying about the eting, also suffer collateral damage?
After waiting a few minutes, the secretary noticed an unusual calm on the office side, showing no signs of the impending storm.
Seeing there was no more ti, she nervously dialed the intercom again, “Mr. Gu…”
“Speak.” The voice on the other end was devoid of any anomaly.
“It’s ti for the eting.”
“Tell again in half an hour.”
“…” The secretary was confused once more, “But the eting ti is now.”
“Can’t you understand?” Gu Annan’s calm voice contained a hint of warning.
“I understand.”
The eting was delayed by half an hour.

In the CEO’s office.
On the clean desk, there were two disposable containers.
One contained dumplings, the other vinegar.
Gu Annan hung up the phone and saw Lu Wanwan pushing the two containers a bit closer to him.
“You might as well eat a bit,” Lu Wanwan said, facing his picky look, feeling as if she was dealing with a fussy child, helpless yet unable to neglect him.
The street food certainly couldn’t compare to what he usually ate.
But ti was pressing, and she couldn’t be too choosy.
Having one steaming basket left was lucky enough—by this ti, the office workers were already at their jobs, and many foods required waiting to be freshly prepared.
Gu Annan glanced at her, her petite face was sweaty, and her dark eyes looked anxiously at him.
Her shirt was damp with sweat, clinging tightly to her body.
It was the peak of the blistering sun, and her breathing was still uneven, probably from running.
Gu Annan snorted internally at her lack of stamina.
Reluctantly, he picked up the chopsticks.
Lu Wanwan’s eyes brightened imdiately, “There’s only vinegar in here, I didn’t add chili or any other ssy stuff.”
She had seen Gu Annan eat dumplings before and knew this was his preference, unsure if it had changed.
Watching him eat the first one, she finally relaxed, certain that she wasn’t mistaken.
Unfortunately, there were only a few dumplings in the basket, likely not enough for a man, especially for a workaholic like Gu Annan.
He suddenly stopped eating, frowning slightly, “How can I eat with you standing there watching?”
Can’t one eat without being watched?
Lu Wanwan was perplexed, “So should I move further away, or should I turn my back to you?”
Gu Annan gave her a dark look and pointed to a spot beside him, “Bring a chair over and eat with .”
“But I only bought one portion because that’s all there was left.”
“It tastes so bad, do you expect to eat it all by myself?” he complained.
She took a deep breath, thinking too much… He just didn’t want to eat the awful dumplings alone.
“Wait, I only took one pair of chopsticks.” As she moved the chair over, she realized this problem and looked at him, “What should we do?”
