Couldn’t bear to…
For giving in to her damp eyes, Lu Zhanbei chose to agree silently.
The two got on the car and headed straight to Jin Tong Que. As they had not had desserts for a long time, Lin Wanwan ate her fill. When they left, it was already past 11 pm.
The school was already closed. She originally planned to stay over at Ruan Baoer’s condominium for a night. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhanbei drove her back to Yun Mansion.
“Ah… I better not stay at your house in the future anymore.”
Lu Zhanbei halted in his movements as he was heading upstairs. He t.i.tled his head to look at Lin Wanwan, who was one step behind. His eyes were especially dark for a second. “Because of Luo Han?”
“Yes, I…”
Lin Wanwan wanted to clarify herself, but Lu Zhanbei did not want to listen to her anymore. He hastened his pace and never looked at her again.
Lin Wanwan scratched her head in puzzlement. Why was it that he was angry again?
This night, Lin Wanwan had a good night’s sleep.
Although Lu Zhanbei seemed to be angry at her the night before, she still managed to hitch a ride from Lu Zhanbei the next morning.
Along the way, neither of them said anything. The atmosphere was a little stagnant. She did not know when it had started, but they started to be a little… awkward around each other.
The good thing was that An Qiao’s call came to the rescue at that moment.
“Little girl, have you seen today’s hot news?” An Qiao’s voice was full of joy.
“I haven’t had the time yet. Why?”
“It’s a secret, you take a look yourself later!” An Qiao continued with a smile, “The company has prepared a celebration party, which is also an employees’ gathering. There will be countless reporters and celebrities then. A lot of respected individuals will be there too. You’re the second female lead so you can’t be absent. I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
Lin Wanwan felt that she could not refuse and was about to promise when she suddenly smiled.
“The movie was screened just yesterday and today you’re starting to prepare the celebration party? It’s good to have confidence, but be careful you won’t be able to step down from the stage!”
An Qiao smiled smugly. “Don’t worry about this first. Are you coming to the celebration party?”
“I’ll be there.”
“Then it’s settled!”
After hanging up the call, Lin Wanwan tilted her head inadvertently. She saw Lu Zhanbei looking at her and repeated An Qiao’s words to him.
Lu Zhanbei cast her a meaningful glance, strangely.
The way he looked at Lin Wanwan made her feel pins and needles, and she felt weird.
The call the previous time was like that too. So was yesterday night, when they were taking a stroll. Lu Zhanbei gave off the feeling of wanting to say something but deciding to hold back in the end.
Lin Wanwan shook away this weird feeling and casually asked, “You want to go too?”
Lu Zhanbei squinted both eyes. He did not answer and instead asked, “You want me to?”
Lin Wanwan shrugged her shoulders. “You don’t have to ask for my opinion for this. If you want to go, then go. It’s just that you can’t appear together with me. If you do, I’ll be pushed to the teeth of the storm again.”
Lu Zhanbei’s eyes looked a little deeper, and there was a foreboding sense of unknown danger.
Lin Wanwan’s eyelids jumped. She did not know what she had said wrongly again and could only feign ignorance.
After a long while, he coldly said these few words, “No drinking allowed.”
“No problem!” Lin Wanwan dared not disagree.
She did not dare let Lu Zhanbei send her to the door and got off earlier when there was still a section of the road left.
Looking at her figure gradually disappearing, Lu Zhanbei’s good-looking eyebrows began to frost over.
Gu Mo, who had been silent the whole time, asked, “If Sir is indeed worried, we can just sneak in and not let Ms. Lin know about it.”
Lu Zhanbei said in a slightly cold voice, “If I want to go, do I still have to sneak my way in?”
“… I’m just worried that Ms. Lin will be angry.”
“What has her anger got to do with me?”
