Lu Yinan bolted after her and shouted, “Zhou Shuang, listen to me!”
Regardless of whether Zhou Shuang had the wrong idea about the woman earlier on or not, he wanted to explain.
Zhou Shuang hastened her footsteps when she heard Lu Yinan’s voice.
“Don’t run! You might fall.”
Having long legs was an advantage, and Lu Yinan caught up with Zhou Shuang just before she reached the room. He grabbed her arm tightly.
He was afraid that she would struggle so he pressed her firmly against the wall. He then gripped her shoulders and looked at her squarely. “I don’t know the woman and she merely said h.e.l.lo and sat across me. Out of courtesy, I just replied and said hi.”
“You need not explain to me,” Zhou Shuang replied nonchalantly. “The air-conditioning wasn’t working in my room. So I went downstairs to get the staff to check for me.”
How she regretted her impulse to check if he was really freezing at the staircase landing.
That wasn’t her style at all.
“I’m not asking why you came downstairs.” A sly smile flitted across Lu Yinan’s face, and he smirked lightly. “Isn’t there a phone in your room? Or the phone wasn’t working as well?”
Zhou Shuang’s face instantly turned red. ‘What a terrible excuse, you have come up with, Zhou Shuang!’ as she berated herself.
The air-conditioning wasn’t working… this was so stupid!
Her embarra.s.sment turned into fury and she shoved Lu Yinan away. She placed her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Lu Yinan. To conceal her embarra.s.sment, she raised her voice and yelled, “Yes! I went down, hoping to see you freezing to death in the hall.”
Lu Yinan curled his lips smugly and quipped, “See! You do care for me. Why are you still pretending?”
He surveyed Zhou Shuang from head to toe and realized that she didn’t look so loathsome after all.
He had no idea if it was because she was carrying his babies. The babies were his and he loved them. And so as the mother of his babies, she looked more pleasing.
Yes, that must be it.
“Don’t think so highly of yourself. I’m not worried about you at all.” Zhou Shuang smirked and she said, “I just wanted to ask you to get those d.a.m.n spectacles away. I find it irksome.”
She whipped out the room card and turned around. After she opened the door, she entered and tried to shut it immediately.
Lu Yinan darted forward like an arrow and gripped the door firmly. He didn’t dare to be too rough, for fear of hurting Zhou Shuang. He merely stopped her from closing the door.
“Just let me go in. You can sleep in the bedroom. I’ll sit on the sofa.”
“But you said you would rather stand in the corridor for the entire night.” Zhou Shuang decided to prank him and relinquished her grip on the door.
Lu Yinan had expected that, but he chose to her prank. He almost lost his footing but steadied himself.
Zhou Shuang eyed Lu Yinan’s sorry figure and she smiled triumphantly. She muttered under her breath, “Serves you right.”
She placed her hands into her pockets and strode into the bedroom. She took out Lu Yinan’s spectacles before walking out once more.
Lu Yinan closed the door after him and strode to the sofa. He removed his coat and started to unb.u.t.ton his s.h.i.+rt.
Zhou Shuang caught a glimpse of his actions and her eyes trailed to his attractive figure.
She frowned and bellowed at Lu Yinan, “Sissy Lu! What are you trying to do?”
Lu Yinan merely lazily fluttered his eyelids as he threw a glance at Zhou Shuang. He drawled, “Taking a shower. The flight was over ten hours and I took the economy cla.s.s. I stink right now.”
