“Lin Wanwan.” Lu Zhanbei’s voice hit Lin Wanwan like a chilling storm.
She put her hand together and begged for rcy. “Mister Lu, Master Lu, Uncle Lu, I admit my deadly mistake! Please forgive for once, and don’t use up my last favor, please! I’m begging you!”
Her chubby face pleading for forgiveness was simply adorable. Although Lu Zhanbei knew that she was putting on an act, he couldn’t help but feel bad for her.
After a brief silence, he drew his brows together in compromise. “Never again.”
Lin Wanwan was relieved, and she said obediently, “Okay, never again.”
“Why do you care so much about the last favor?”
He had been wanting to ask this since the night she got a fever.
She used the first and second without hesitation, but the third...
Lin Wanwan licked her dry lips. “You are the only one that I can trust now. I’m just worried that I may not have anyone to go to if I ever face any trouble. What if no one rembers when I die again?”
“...”
Overlooking the word “again,” Lu Zhanbei pondered. He was at a loss for words.
He could tell that Lin Wanwan was not acting when she answered.
At last, he responded, “Got it. It will get better, trust .”
Lin Wanwan pulled herself together and returned to her cheery self.
“Lu Zhanbei, I’ve been wondering why you are helping even though we didn’t know each other. If you’d chosen not to help , you wouldn’t be stuck with a troublemaker like right now. You must be regretting it, right?”
“You’ll understand.” Lu Zhanbei didn’t intend to give her an answer. “It’s late, I’ll take you back to school.”
“Alright.”
Lu Zhanbei knocked on the separator and signaled Gu Mo to drive.
At the back gate of the school, Lu Zhanbei watched as Lin Wanwan’s figure vanished in the dark. He turned to Gu Mo. “Let’s go.”
Gu Mo started the engine. While driving, he carefully observed Lu Zhanbei’s expressions.
Seeing his calm eyes and his inconspicuous smile, Gu Mo knew that he was in a good mood.
“Sir, I think that Ms. Lin is a fine girl. Have you thought about developing a relationship with her?”
Lu Zhanbei sounded empty as he said, “No matter how nice she is, she’s not that person.”
Gu Mo was astounded!
That person?
Did he just admit that he had soone buried in his heart? Even Gu Mo didn’t know who that person was. Could it be... a one-sided love?
What kind of undeniable charm could have left a mark this deep in Lu Zhanbei’s heart?
Why did he not confess?
Gu Mo didn’t believe that there’s any woman in this world who would reject Lu Zhanbei.
