Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Like Honey Was Smudged

“…” Lu Wanwan’s mind was a blur.

The recently unpredictable menopausal temper of Gu Annan didn’t flare up?

It wasn’t that she was masochistically waiting to be scolded every day; it was just that since encountering Gu Annan, his expression had either been cold and impassive or his fiery gaze fixated on her, often making her doubt her own life, feeling like everything she said was wrong.

“Answer me, is it true?”

His tone was so calm it made her nervous, and Lu Wanwan timidly spoke, “Sort of. I had originally planned to, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it.”

Gu Annan took out a check, holding it casually between his fingers.

...

If not for the slightly less flamboyant expression, he resembled the extravagant image of a wealthy playboy splurging money.

“For me?” Lu Wanwan couldn’t believe it, the thing she planned to do, yet hadn’t even spoken about, was no longer necessary to mention.

She looked at the check, reaching out for it.

Gu Annan gently lifted it back slightly, “Don’t rush; I haven’t finished talking. This is two hundred thousand, but it comes with conditions.”

Lu Wanwan thought, she had already sold herself for a month, what more conditions could there be?

She looked at him, “Okay, even if you add another month, I can accept it!”

Gu Annan inwardly scoffed, another month? By then she would be his, no need to deceive her with money.

“Two hundred thousand for you, but during this period you’re not allowed to go to the Lu Family, nor to see Lu Kexin.”

He knew Lu Wanwan was not a pushover, and unless forced by circumstances, she would not suffer in silence. But she was clueless about underhanded tricks and manipulation; confronting Lu Kexin would undoubtedly put her at a disadvantage.

“Agree and the money is yours immediately. If you don’t agree, I will tear it up.”

When Lu Wanwan heard those words, it felt like a knife was slicing through her heart. Her already pale face turned even whiter.

Seeing her biting her lip and silent, Gu Annan knew she might be considering something.

His long fingers pinched the center of the check, ready to tear it in half with just a little effort.

“I agree,” Lu Wanwan said each word with difficulty, “I won’t go to the Lu Family’s house, nor will I meet Lu Kexin.”

No sooner had she made the promise than the check was already in her hand.

Gu Annan rose from the sofa, the light casting his large shadow over Lu Wanwan.

“It’s only until the engagement; I don’t want any trouble before then. The engagement party is set for the ninth of September, in half a month,” he said indifferently, “For these half a month, just go straight home from work to here.”

Lu Wanwan clutched the check tightly, “Mr. Gu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my room to rest. I wish you a happy engagement in advance, may it last forever and ever.”

Her words, clear and slow, carried a heavy tone that anyone could hear the sarcasm. Not only was there no sincerity in her blessings, but there was also a hint of sourness.

“Thank you,” Gu Annan responded, his lips curling up slightly.

Lu Wanwan felt stifled to the core, no wonder he was in such a good mood today, no matter what she said, he wouldn’t get angry. Apparently, it was the joy of the engagement date being set.

Even a simple thank you sounded like it was coated with honey; it pained her ears.

With the check in hand, she stormed off.

Inside, all sorts of vicious thoughts swirled; she just wanted to quickly get through the final half a month and never see these two people again.

Just after Lu Wanwan left, Gu Annan’s phone rang.

He looked at it, answered, and said somewhat irritatedly, “Father, haven’t I told you not to worry about the engagement matters?”
