The driver ahead, Zhao Chen, also showed a very helpless expression.
Looking at the questioning in Lu Wanwan’s eyes, Gu Annan glanced at her askance, “If you don’t dry yourself off, the rain will keep trickling down.”
Lu Wanwan understood that she was the source of the wetness in his car, the chief culprit, so to speak.
She felt a little warr, her face was wiped free of water droplets, revealing an even paler complexion. Her dark hair, damp and clumped together, lay plastered against her face.
Gu Annan glanced over and then turned his gaze outside, “Turn on the heater. I can’t stand the heavy dampness in the car.”
Zhao Chen silently turned on the heater, thinking to himself, Could you die from telling the truth for once, Boss Gu?
...
Lu Wanwan felt rejected. She simply wrapped herself in the bath towel, sitting there like a wrapped zongzi, leaning against the door and keeping her distance from Gu Annan.
Once at the Gu Mansion, she was unceremoniously thrown into the bathroom.
Gu Annan just stood at the bathroom door, making her feel utterly uncomfortable, not daring to remove the bath towel she was wearing, looking bewildered.
Was he actually going to watch her take a bath?
Lu Wanwan deliberately coughed to remind him.
Gu Annan glanced at the ti, “You have fifteen minutes. If you’re not out in fifteen minutes, I’ll co in directly.”
“I’m completely soaked!” Lu Wanwan protested vigorously, “From head to toe, how could fifteen minutes possibly be enough, are you doing this on purpose?”
Gu Annan gave her ‘head to toe’ a sweep and replied, “Fifteen minutes is sufficient. Are you saying you’re deliberately trying to make co in?”
Lu Wanwan imdiately shut up. Was this reverse psychology?
After Lu Wanwan had washed up as quickly as she could, she discovered a serious problem.
Where were her clothes?
Naturally, she couldn’t wear the ones she had on before since they were soaked, but there was nothing else to wear in the bathroom apart from towels.
She had just been thinking about getting washed quickly and forgot to remind Gu Annan to bring so clothes in for her.
She was so annoyed she wanted to bang her head against a wall. Wrapped in a towel, she stood by the door, not daring to push it open, and softly called Gu Annan’s na a few tis—no response. Obviously, there was no one else in the room.
Lu Wanwan squatted down against the wall, hugging her legs and drawing circles with her finger.
If she were to just walk out like this, she would resemble a spa hostess, and Gu Annan would give her another disdainful look.
Thirty minutes had passed, and Gu Annan had already paced back and forth at Lu Wanwan’s door three tis.
Thinking back to the disheveled sight of her standing at the roadside avoiding the rain when he saw her from the car, he felt annoyed and almost wished he could stuff ten umbrellas in her bag in the future.
Lu Wanwan was a fussy person. He said fifteen minutes just to scare her, to speed up her movents, lest she doze off in there and faint.
But after half an hour with no sign of her, he felt inclined to give her a lesson.
Gu Annan, growing impatient, finally couldn’t wait any longer, twisted the door open, and walked in. Just as he reached the bathroom door, he heard a mumbling from inside.
“Gu Annan, Gu Annan, Gu Annan, Gu Annan…”
Repeatedly saying his na, filled with all sorts of resentfulness and frustration.
He stood at the door, his brow arching slightly, and a ripple appeared on the corner of his lips on his otherwise cold and handso face.
Having heard enough, he spoke deliberately and slowly, his tone unusually not as coldly detached as usual, “Lu Wanwan, you didn’t lock yourself in there, did you? Planning to spend the night?”
The person inside quickly stood up, “Gu Annan, I don’t have any clothes to change into!”
Gu Annan silently cursed her for a fool.
