Chapter 436: Chapter 436 What to Do When You Can’t Sleep (2)

“It’s more than just anger that I’m feeling,” Lu Wanwan’s brows furrowed slightly. Every time she thought about it, all her calmness evaporated. “I truly hate her, more than I’ve ever hated anyone. My mother never did anything bad to her; in fact, you could say that if it weren’t for my mother, her life would have been much worse. Yet, some people’s hearts are made of stone.”

Gu Annan was silent for a moment, caressing her face and clearly feeling her trembling.

He knew a few words wouldn’t calm her down, but hatred was useless at a time like this.

Putting himself in her shoes, the thought of a loved one being treated like that made it hard to remain calm at the moment.

“Want to cry?” he asked.

“I don’t want to cry,” Lu Wanwan shook her head. “Even if she is in the hospital, I don’t want her to have it easy. I’m just worried that this being exposed might cause a lot of trouble for you.”

His fierce brows slowly furrowed, “Then what do you want, to distance yourself from me?”

She heard Gu Annan’s suddenly displeased voice, staring intently at her, seemingly quite annoyed.

“No. But don’t you feel dragged into this?” She looked up with a glint in her eyes that shone especially brightly due to a trace of unshed tears, hiding a deep layer of expectation.

Gu Annan stared at her for a moment; his hand on her face moved back and tightly gripped her nape.

Lu Wanwan felt a pain on her lips, followed quickly by his whole body pressing down on her.

Her lips were sealed, and somehow, she ended up lying down on the couch.

Her lips were firmly blocked; she couldn’t speak, not understanding why he was suddenly so moody.

She struggled using her hands and feet, but soon her legs were pinned down too, the force squeezing her immovable.

“Remember your identity now; the title ‘Mrs. Gu’ isn’t just for show,” he murmured softly, pinching the chin of the woman beneath him.

Lu Wanwan, breathless from the kiss, began to be pulled back to reality by his voice.

“Do you know what being involved means?”

She waited for him to continue, but he just silently waited for her reply.

Seeing that she was dazed by the kiss, he fiercely bit her neck to remind her, “I’m asking you a question!”

“Are you a dog, Gu Annan?” she finally lost her temper, pushing hard against his shoulders.

As expected, she couldn’t push him at all.

“Being involved means my wife is being treated unfairly, making me unhappy,” he said in a harsh tone, though his voice was still attractive, “If you don’t want to involve me, it’s simple.”

From the moment she heard ‘my wife is being treated unfairly,’ she felt a tingling sensation from her heart.

Even his fierce tone could not make her angry.

She wanted to hear what he would say next, but he stopped talking halfway through.

“It’s simple? How is it simple?” she asked anxiously.

The person on top of her snorted coldly, “Figure it out yourself.”

He looked at her swollen lips, shiny with a wet gloss, and leaned down to kiss her again…

Before coming out of the bathroom, Lu Wanwan stared at herself in the mirror for a long time.

The red mark on her neck was an eyesore, even showing teeth marks.

In the end, he never clarified the issue of involvement, but she wasn’t in the mood to guess about it.

However, after a bout of chaos, the hatred she had been feeling slowly subsided a bit; at least she no longer thought of confronting Lin Yu every time she remembered the incident.

The bathroom door opened with a “whoosh.”
