Lu Wanwan sighed in relief, no way around it, poverty made her ambitions short.
She needed money, desperately needed it.
So even if he hated her, when she could use him, she would shamelessly do so.
In the Bentley Mulsanne that had just stopped at the entrance of Dijing Clubhouse, the driver Zhao Chen ended a call.
"Mr. Gu, I've let Miss Lu in!"
Gu Annan's gaze shifted towards the outside of the car, to the swiftly disappearing figure inside the gates of the clubhouse.
"Miss Lu is here... to see you?" Zhao Chen mustered his courage to ask another question.
The boss had clearly informed his parents and fiancée in the United States that his fiancée was Miss Lu Wanwan. Yet, he had instructed Zhao Chen just recently to tell Lu Jingtian about his engagement with Miss Lu Kexin.
Even though the boss's thoughts had always been hard to guess, this time it seemed really far-fetched!
"It's none of your business."
"Cough, I'm speaking out of turn."
Gu Annan straightened his shirt and opened the car door to step out.
*
Lu Wanwan was wandering in the third-floor corridor of the clubhouse.
When she almost reached the end of the corridor, she saw a burly man in a black suit standing outside a private room door—it was Bai Lingyun's bodyguard!
She couldn't go in, so she had to think of another plan.
Her eyes narrowed with a cunning smile as she nonchalantly walked into a restroom not far away.
She didn't believe that a celebrity could avoid using the restroom!
Lu Wanwan stood at the vanity in the outer area of the restroom, where she could see outside through the mirror from this angle.
In her mind, she started planning what to do once Bai Lingyun came out.
The first scoop had to be a big story that would make the editor take her seriously from now on. Then these commission-based jobs would keep coming to her.
Considering their newspaper's usual audacity in targeting celebrities, she should probably follow him to the restroom and then report extensively on the kidney function and size issues that Bai Lingyun's wife's group was most interested in.
After all, their "Zui Entertainment" was notorious in the entertainment industry, sued countless times. It was a publication with no limits and no integrity that stars and their fans dreaded.
As she was brainstorming, a tall man wearing a casual baseball shirt and a cap walked in.
Pretending to look down and wash her hands, Lu Wanwan quickly glanced and confirmed the target!
Bai Lingyun had entered.
Her feet stopped at the door of the men's restroom, unable to take another step.
Lu Wanwan pressed her hand against her forehead, feeling cowardly at the critical moment, wishing she could pinch herself a few times. To earn a commission, acting a bit like a hooligan wouldn't cause her to grow pimples, right?
She hesitated until the sound of flushing came from inside, and Plan A was completely abandoned.
She had no choice but to start Plan B!
Lu Wanwan lowered her head and saw the proud curves of her chest under her white T-shirt, the shorts covering only half of her thighs, and her long, straight white legs.
The food she had wasn't eaten for nothing; she knew she had some substance to her figure.
After quickly fixing her hair, she efficiently tied the hem of her T-shirt into a knot at her waist, revealing her waistline, then puffed out her chest...
Pretending to be drunk or something later would spin an interesting and valuable story.
Lu Wanwan, already contemplating poses, was completely unaware of the pair of grim and furious eyes fixed on her, ready to burst into flames.
Gu Annan's face darkened as he pressed his lips together.
So this was the woman's virtue now, throwing herself at anyone she met in the restroom?
Just as Lu Wanwan, listening to the approaching footsteps from inside the restroom, was making her final preparations, she finally sensed an uncomfortable feeling from behind.
Before she could turn around, she was suddenly yanked forcefully.
Her head unexpectedly hit a firm and muscular chest.
The feeling of this collision was all too familiar, as though she had experienced the same thing not long ago!
Before she could think more about it, her waist was quickly encircled by an arm, and a large palm pressed her head firmly against a chest at the back of her skull.
Her face became hot and flushed.
Under the overwhelming momentum, she was led to the men's restroom, face against chest, catching a glimpse of Bai Lingyun coming towards her out of the corner of her eye.
Who was this person dragging her to the toilet, unaware that he was disrupting her chance to behave inappropriately!
If he didn't let go soon, Bai Lingyun would leave, and all her efforts today would be in vain!
Unless the superstar has a frequent, urgent, or incomplete urination issue, who knows how long it would be before he next goes to pee?
"Gu... young master?" The other's steps halted with a puzzled voice.
Gu Annan, holding the woman's head, didn't stop his stride, merely "mm-hmming" in response and leading her in without a sidelong glance. The "Out Of Order" sign was also kicked aside with a clang.
"Let, let me go!" Lu Wanwan cried out in protest.
He held on to the struggling woman in his arms and kicked open a stall.
In the upscale club's restroom, even the stall dividers were polished spotless.
"Gu Annan!!" Driven to desperation, she leaned against the wall and pushed him forcefully away, "What are you doing ruining my plan!"
The man cast a brief glance down at her hand pushing against his chest.
"Wanting to lecture your fiancé's sister again? Do you again think I will affect your fiancé's reputation?" Lu Wanwan was exasperated, the cooked duck was flying away!
Even if she chased after him now, it would be in vain; there was no way she could get close to Bai Lingyun again anytime soon.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, glaring with wide, furious eyes, grasping the shirt on Gu Annan's chest, trying to push him far away.
On the imposing face, the immovable man arched an eyebrow, his expression still seemingly stern.
He raised a finger to point at the delicate hand on his chest, "Here, have you touched enough?"
Lu Wanwan looked and realized she had unbuttoned his shirt, the mess looked quite... scandalizing.
What made it worse was that being so reminded, she finally focused on her hand.
She could feel the heat coming through the shirt, even the heartbeat.
The heartbeat was a bit fast!
Not knowing what to do, she found it a bit awkward.
Gu Annan suddenly furrowed his brows and pulled her hand off his body, pushing her slightly away.
Lu Wanwan felt a trace of his disdain and immediately lifted her chin, "I warn you Gu Annan, if you keep ruining my plans and holding on to me, be careful, or I'll let the whole world know what happened that night, bringing scandal to the Gu Family, and ruining your marriage to Lu Kexin!!"
Gu Annan pushed her back against the wall of the stall with a countermove.
His tall nose almost brushed against the tip of hers as he murmured indulgently, "I'm quite curious too, what would happen if the whole world knew you've slept with me. We will see!"
Her eyes widened in shock — she slept with him?
She Lu Wanwan, slept with him Gu Annan?!
If it weren't for her being drugged that day, and if Gu Annan hadn't been hesitant, could she have succeeded?
"What, there's a problem?"
She glanced with her head, not intending to argue about this in the men's restroom.
Especially considering that if the incident went public, she would be the one most in trouble.
Her stepmother and her family would be furious.
"You take your Sunnie Road, I cross my log bridge. What's your intention in dragging me into the men's toilet?" She glared unhappily at the hand pressing her down.
After that day, she didn't want to run into him in the men's toilet ever again.
