Oh no!
Got caught red-handed spying on Lu Zhanbei.
Darn it!
Startled, a lovely pink hue spread across Gu Qianqian’s delicate, white ears…
Noticing the change on her ears, the aloof man looked at her mysteriously and asked, “Is there something on my face?”
“No, not really…”
Shaking her head, Gu Qianqian felt herself heating up and hurriedly took a large gulp from the glass of water in front of her.
“Then why were you looking at me the whole time?”
His direct question made her choke on the water she had just gulped down.
The spray of water nearly hit Lu Zhanbei’s face, but he swiftly dodged it in a cool manner.
Then, calmly he picked up a napkin from the table, wiped the droplets of water from his shoulder, and said nonchalantly, “Drink slowly, no one’s rushing you.”
Hearing his voice, Gu Qianqian covered her mouth and started coughing violently…
Just as she thought, every encounter with Lu Zhanbei only made her embarrassments worse!
After taking a few deep breaths, Gu Qianqian finally managed to calm down, but her ears were still flushed pink and the heat refused to fade away.
He was actually refilling her glass of water…
She couldn’t describe it, but she felt a surge of warmth in her chest.
Finally gathering her courage, she looked up and asked, “Lu Zhanbei, why are you helping me?”
Hearing her, he glanced at her and replied, “It’s not that I want to help you.
Our elder brother asked me to assist you in finding a school.”
“That’s not what I meant…”
This time, Lu Zhanbei didn’t reply.
He simply withdrew his hand from pouring water for her and poured himself a glass instead.
It was such a simple action, yet when Lu Zhanbei did it, it was incredibly fascinating to watch.
His inherent noble disposition, along with those handsome hands, turned even the simplest actions into a form of art.
Almost got awestruck again…
In her haste, Gu Qianqian grabbed her water glass again, took a small sip and pretended to be calm. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Then, she steeled herself and said, “Thank you for this morning!”
“You’re welcome.”
“…Huh?”
His responses were always so unexpected.
Gu Qianqian looked up at his ever-unchanging face, her confusion clearly reflected in her eyes.
Lu Zhanbei met her gaze, and simply said, “No outsider has the right to bother anyone from the Lu family.”
“Thank you…”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianqian’s heart warmed.
Just when she thought that Lu Zhanbei was not as difficult as she had imagined, he suddenly asked, “Did you know Yebai from before?”
“…”
She could tell that Lu Zhanbei’s statement was not a question, but an affirmation.
So, he figured it out?
Nervous and hesitant about revealing her past relationship with Lu Yebai, she was fumbling her fingers when Lu Zhanbei raised an eyebrow, understanding everything, “Don’t want to say it?”
She did not want to say, but she somehow felt that she could not hide anything in front of him, so…
“He was once… sick in our town, but I didn’t know then that he was…” my friend.
She couldn’t utter the last four words.
Nonetheless, the man seated across her nodded knowingly, “I see.”
Lu Zhanbei saying he understood meant he would not probe further.
The breath that the girl held in all this time, finally got released…
