Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Call… Husband (3) Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Call… Husband (3) He watched her leave, her silhouette disappearing from the room.

He frowned slightly and, at last, sent a message to Zhao Chen.

That night, Lu Wanwan really didn’t continue to wallow in despair; instead, she tirelessly searched online for news about Jin’an.

She had no other shortcuts to get in touch with Jin’an, so her only choice was to understand the changes that had occurred in the public’s eye over these years.

There was a plethora of information online, but much of it was redundant and useless garbage.

Time flew by quickly, and before she knew it, it was late at night.

Suddenly, Lu Wanwan felt a bit deflated. How could she indeed restore Jin’an to its former glory?

Merely relying on Gu’s financial injection wasn’t enough. The fact that a previously solid enterprise could deteriorate so severely in two years indicated internal problems.

An online post caught her attention, full of sarcasm and ridicule about Lu Jingtian, stating that he had played no small part in Jin’an’s decline.

It simply described how he undermined the company from within for money, only knowing how to eliminate dissidents, managing everything chaotically without long-term vision, failing to see real future business opportunities, and missing the most developed period of the internet.

Among countless news releases, it turned out that this particular response gave her a bit of a clue.

And it wasn’t just that. This person also replied to several others in the not-so-popular thread.

It mentioned Lin Yu and Lu Kexin’s arrogance and hypocrisy, as well as their insatiable greed and stupidity, which was no wonder why the mistress had risen to prominence.

Because the comments were somewhat extreme, they were directly dismissed as slander, with someone calling it a brainchild of a soap opera drama, as if he had witnessed it all with his own eyes.

After staring at the comments for a long time, the words in front of Lu Wanwan’s eyes started to blur.

She yawned and eventually turned off the computer.

As she turned around, she saw Gu Annan coming out of the bathroom and walking straight towards her.

Lu Wanwan’s head was already fuzzy with sleepiness, and upon seeing his bare and perfect upper body, she felt momentarily dazed.

Her bleary eyes didn’t know whether to be captivated or confused.

She had been so absorbed in her online search that she hadn’t even noticed when he had gone into the bathroom.

“Ah!”

When she came back to her senses, she found herself in his arms, seated on the desk.

He hardly gave her any time before leaning down to kiss her lips.

After a passionate, intense kiss, his hands propped on either side of her, his lips slowly traced the contours of her face.

“Gu Annan…” Lu Wanwan whispered, a reminder.

She had mentioned it earlier that day, cryptically, unsure whether he had fully understood.

Now, outside of her safe period, she didn’t want to resort to taking emergency contraception afterward.

“Don’t know what to call me?” His eyes were exceptionally dark and profound, exuding an endless chill, yet there was a flicker of heat hidden deep within.

She blinked, and suddenly he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.

He had yet to answer her question, and instead, he seemed to be changing the subject.

“Hm?” Gu Annan’s exquisite face closed in, his voice tinged with a seductive hoarseness.

Lu Wanwan stuttered for a moment.

She knew what he was referring to. They had gotten married yesterday, and last night, he had continually pushed her to surrender the title he wanted to hear her call out.

But, their marriage had happened so fast, and she was still struggling to digest it, finding that particular title awkward to say.

Especially now, with the tip of his nose against hers, neither kissing nor pulling away.

The intense closeness made her reason start to fade.

“Let me remind you again, call me… ‘husband.'” Her chin was suddenly grasped by him, and these words simultaneously reached her ears.
