Having left the Nanyi Weekly building, Lu Wanwan said, “Turn right and go straight, I’ll tell you when to turn at the corner.”

“…” As if he was so kindly offering to take her home.

“What I wanted to say just now was that I’m not that familiar with Bai Lingyun, we’re just ordinary friends. He helped me out that day, and it was that simple. All the news are fabricated by the reporters, even though I stayed at his house overnight, none of the other things reported happened.”

Gu Annan’s cold gaze remained fixed on the windshield in front, the sports car speeding through the traffic.

“He helped me partly because he has some connection with you, and I was your fiancee at that time, so he was also taking your feelings into account…”

“You don’t need to explain your relationship with him to me.”

Lu Wanwan had not finished speaking when she heard that cold, mocking voice and was momentarily stunned.

“Okay.” She nodded sullenly, “Then there’s nothing else to discuss.”

His lips tightly pressed together, his displeasure even more apparent on his face.

If he told her not to speak, she really wouldn’t speak!

“The complex up ahead, you can just stop by the side of the road,” Lu Wanwan noticed his solemn expression and thought for a moment, “Actually, I just wanted to clarify things this time, I’ve said what I needed to. I was in a bad mood that day and should apologize to you. I also shouldn’t have caused such a scandal while still engaged to you…”

The car abruptly stopped, Gu Annan’s cold gaze turned toward her.

“So, so… can you please not hold this incident against me?” She apologized sincerely, “I’m very sorry for what happened that day.”

Lu Wanwan was very nervous inside, her heartbeat getting faster and faster.

The silence in the car made her feel like she could hear her own heartbeats clearly.

“Where did you get the impression that I’m dwelling on this issue?” His tone was haughty and dismissive.

His long fingers rested on the steering wheel, yet they tightened slightly.

“Do you think your constant difficulties at work have not been obvious enough?” Mentioning this, Lu Wanwan felt a bit wronged, “Gu Annan, it’s not easy for me to find a job, can you keep personal and professional issues separate and not take your private grievances into work?”

“…” So all this time, she was just asking him not to make her work life difficult?

“Is there anything else?” His voice dropped colder, “If that’s your apology, you can get out of the car now.”

Lu Wanwan really wanted to ask about his condition that day, seeing the wound on his forehead had almost healed, leaving only a faint, barely noticeable scar.

It made her feel a bit distressed.

But Gu Annan’s frosty demeanor, which didn’t permit anyone to overstep boundaries, made it hard for her to speak up.

“Nothing else.” She fell silent for a long while, “Thank you for the ride home, goodbye.”

She unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

All the way until she walked away, she did not hear a single response from him.

Gu Annan’s fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly, watching her enter the complex, his pupils deep, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Not knowing if her apology had any effect, the next day after apologizing was unusually easy for her at work.

Throughout the whole day, not a single person called her to go upstairs, nor were there any tasks assigned by the BOSS.

At first, she felt a wave of relief wash over her, but later it turned into a somewhat empty feeling.

Close to the end of the workday, she casually asked Linda, who paid the most attention to Gu Annan’s activities, “Sister Linda, did you just come down from President Gu’s office?”

“Yeah.” Linda glanced at her, “Xiaolu, you’re interested in President Gu’s affairs? I thought you’d be happy not to be scolded today.”
