Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: She Sleeps in His Bed

For a long time, Lu Kexin got her emotions under control, and in that suffocating pressure, she carefully spoke up, “Gu Annan…”

No sooner had she called out his name than the car came to an abrupt stop.

If it weren’t for the seatbelt, she felt she would have hit the glass.

“Miss Lu Kexin.” An extremely cold voice sounded, “We are not so familiar that you can call me by my name.”

Lu Kexin’s eyes instantly reddened, “Mr. Gu, I’m sorry, I know I’m not your fiancée yet…”

“Get out.” He seemed to have no patience left to hear her voice.

Lu Kexin really wanted to cry, shivering as she unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door.

Could it be that Gu Annan really wanted to back out?

“Then, in three days…” She held onto the car door, unwilling to let go, and spoke up.

At the mention of three days later, Gu Annan’s hand on the steering wheel seemed to tighten even more.

“I will show up on time in three days, before then I don’t want to see you.”

“Okay…” No sooner had Lu Kexin gotten out and closed the car door than the vehicle drove away.

Was it just a marriage with no personal feelings involved? Lu Kexin clenched her teeth fiercely, it didn’t matter, even if it was so, at least she would be Mrs. Gu, not Lu Wanwan.

For three days, Gu Annan had not returned to Gu Mansion, as if he had disappeared.

“Maybe the young master is busy lately.” Aunt Li seemed to comfort her casually as she started to clean up the dishes, “Sometimes, the young master gets so busy that he doesn’t come back for a few days. Tomorrow is the engagement, so there must be a lot to arrange in advance.”

Lu Wanwan stood up, “It’s okay.”

She had waited for him for three days, and tonight was the last night.

Lu Wanwan began to feel anxious inside because if she didn’t see Gu Annan after tonight, there would be no chance to change the engagement.

Because in these three days, she had decided on one thing: she couldn’t let the engagement go smoothly.

If it was just a family marriage arrangement anyway, why couldn’t the person engaged to Gu Annan be her?

Xu Yuan was right that day, being engaged to Gu Annan meant that everything she lacked after her mother’s death could come back to her.

It would not just be a fierce counterattack against the Lu Family, but also the best option for her grandmother’s illness.

She really regretted wasting the past month on her so-called self-respect, simply because she had been utterly defeated by him before and didn’t dare to try again.

But now, she had nothing left, what did she need self-respect for?

What she needed was this marriage!

…

Gu Annan arrived back at the Gu Mansion at midnight.

He opened the door to his room, turning on the wall light as he entered.

With the buttons of his shirt not yet all undone, he stood still, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, his gaze as cold as smoke fixed on his bed.

Lu Wanwan lay on the large bed in a thin nightgown, her lustrous, long black hair spread out like seaweed, making her face appear very small. Her long eyelashes cast peaceful shadows on her lower eyelids, and her breathing was steady and even.

The air conditioning in the room was quite strong; she must have been cold, curled up without a blanket, just hugging her arms.

His brows twisted as he looked at the unexpected scene before him, and he stepped closer to the bed.

His footsteps were not at all concealed; in fact, he deliberately made them louder.

Lu Wanwan’s eyelashes quivered slightly, and her tightly closed eyes opened groggily under the dim light, seeing the familiar stern face become clear in front of her.

“Gu Annan!” She suddenly woke up, leaping out of bed, her heart racing, “You… you’re back?”
