Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1277 - 1278: The Ruthless Resolve Reflected in Her Eyes

Lu Wanwan glanced at Gu Annan and stood up as well.

"Sit down," he shot a look over.

Lu Wanwan looked at him, unsure of what Gu Annan had said to Xie Liancheng, but his expression was not looking good.

"If there’s something you can’t resolve with him, then don’t stay at other people’s houses."

She didn’t know what had happened, but judging by his expression, it seemed like a negotiation had failed.

Gu Annan’s gaze fell on her, appearing somewhat complex.

Seeing the look made Lu Wanwan a bit uncomfortable, and she frowned, "When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow." He leaned against the table opposite the bed, "Just stay tonight."

Xie Liancheng hadn’t given any clear answers; it was uncertain whether Xie Liancheng was still considering or if there were other reasons he wouldn’t share.

Ultimately, he was given one night to think clearly; if he made up his mind, Lu Wanwan should give up on her biological father’s clues before leaving.

"Why stay one night? Because of Momo?"

"Maybe the Xie family can recall some clue overnight?" he said lightly, watching Lu Wanwan’s expression, "You’re quite eager to know who your biological father is, aren’t you?"

Lu Wanwan avoided his gaze, her eyes slightly lowered.

Does she want to know?

Of course she does; nobody wouldn’t want to know who their real father is.

But she definitely wouldn’t go to great lengths for this matter alone.

Her staying here wasn’t just for finding out about the clues; more importantly, since Xiao Ye’s plan has fallen apart, she wants to know how to get the antidote from him.

That’s what she would go all out for.

"Give him a night to think. If he remembers, we’ll stay to investigate it clearly. If he doesn’t remember..." Gu Annan’s voice turned cold, "I don’t think anyone else would know, and that’s where it ends. Some things aren’t worth getting caught up in, like someone like Lu Jingtian; would you rather have this kind of father or not know at all?"

"Yeah." Lu Wanwan responded absentmindedly.

"We’ll leave here early tomorrow morning. Before returning to China, is there anywhere else you want to go?" he asked softly, moving closer to her, "Didn’t you live in the United States for a few years? Why not ask Bai Lingyun where Mu Xing was taken?"

"Gu Annan, I now..." Lu Wanwan’s brow furrowed more tightly.

Suddenly a cold snort came from overhead.

"You really think I don’t know what you’re thinking right now?"

He abruptly lifted her chin.

"What new tricks does Xiao Ye have this time, hm?" His eyes were staring her down, "You know what his purpose is, but that doesn’t mean you must do as he says. Lu Wanwan, I would rather lose my life than have my woman make sacrifices. If I can’t manage this, do I even deserve to live?"

Lu Wanwan’s eyes stung with emotion, looking into his deep ocean-like eyes, "I know..."

"You know?" he sneered, softly brushing her tender lips with his fingertip, "If you really understood, you wouldn’t have done something to make me so angry. I’m sticking with you every step now; let’s see how you’re going to escape from my hands."

She was at a loss for words, unsure if she was moved or worried.

What happens now when she leaves with him, and what about three years from now?

"Don’t make excuses with me; this matter isn’t up for discussion. From now on, you’re not allowed to meet with anyone associated with Xiao Ye."
