Chapter 79: Chapter 79: No Longer Calling Mr. Gu?
An hour later.
Gu Annan sat at the dining table, looking at the dishes on the table which showed no difference from the usual quality, then glanced at Lu Wanwan standing to the side.
“Which one did you make?”
Lu Wanwan stretched out her finger and pointed casually, “These… all of them.”
“…” Gu Annan looked at her, but found that this woman truly didn’t show the slightest bit of embarrassnt on her face.
Seeing his expression which clearly did not believe her, she argued, “You see, I washed this cucumber, I chopped the tomato, I picked the beef, and I arranged the lobster…”
...
She pretty much ntioned every dish on the table, implying she had had a hand in all of them.
Gu Annan was quiet for a mont, then under that pressuring gaze, his cool voice spoke out, “Learn to cook within a week. You must reach the level where you can make whatever I feel like eating at any mont.”
Lu Wanwan looked at him in shock, smiling, “Gu Annan, you’re not joking, are you?”
Learning to cook in a week was not the hard part, but being able to cook whatever he wanted on demand, was this like entering a chef’s competition?
“You’re not calling Mr. Gu anymore?” His cool voice deliberately pressed as he looked at her.
Lu Wanwan clenched her teeth tightly, “…I will complete the task, Mr. Gu.”
Gu Annan’s expression suddenly fell. Without another word, he picked up his chopsticks and stopped paying attention to her.
She didn’t know what to say, only that his silence was a sign of his bad mood, which ant she had to be careful with her words.
But wasn’t it him who said to call him Mr. Gu?
He didn’t speak, and Lu Wanwan also didn’t initiate conversation throughout the al, for fear of stepping on a landmine.
Until Gu Annan finished eating, that displeased and icy expression still hung on his face.
He didn’t pay attention to Lu Wanwan, just answered a work call before heading upstairs to deal with docunts.
Lu Wanwan heard Aunt Li’s voice faintly coming from the living room.
“Miss Lu, I’m sorry…”
“The young master isn’t ho, I apologize I can’t contact him…”
She rembered that tonight was when Lu Kexin wanted to invite Gu Annan out for dinner.
Gu Annan didn’t enjoy boring acts like celebrating birthdays, so he skipped this ordinary date as well?
When Lu Wanwan went upstairs, her mobile phone suddenly rang.
“Wanwan, this is your dad. Co ho for a al when you have ti these next few days.”
Lu Wanwan stood on the stairs, her other hand tightly gripping the banister, as she casually said, “No need, I’m busy.”
“Are you too busy to even co ho? Wanwan, school starts in a few days. Don’t you want to co and get your tuition fees?” Lu Jingtian intensified his tone.
He brought it up proactively; naturally, Lu Wanwan wanted it, but she had taken two hundred thousand from Gu Annan, under the condition that she wouldn’t return to the Lu Family before the engagent.
“Dad, I’ll see when I can squeeze it in. I’m really tied up with work right now, there’s no way around it. You were the one who said it, Dad. As the eldest daughter of the Lu Family, I should mature through trials and tribulations and not live in luxury and debauchery.”
“You…”
“That’s all for now, Dad. I’ve got so work to attend to, goodbye.”
The phone call was abruptly cut off, leaving Lu Jingtian clenching it, gritting his teeth in frustration.
“Dad, don’t let it upset you,” said Lu Kexin with concern, “Perhaps sister is really too busy…”
“Who knows what kind of nonsense she’s getting herself into outside!” Lu Jingtian’s face was dark with anger, “Where does she get all that money from! If she’s done sothing to disgrace the Lu Family…”
“Would sister really do that?”
“Hmph, I’ll deal with her in a few days. I’ve got no ti for this at the mont. The most important matter for our family right now is to finalize your marriage with the Gu Family. Kexin, you ntioned you wanted to throw a birthday party to invite Gu Annan tomorrow, did you succeed?”
