Chapter 758: She is Mrs. Gu (3)
Xiao Ye was taken aback.
While investigating that journalist, he had naturally come to know the rumors about her.
Setting aside those scandals of dubious truth, there was at least one undeniable fact.
That was, she had been married to Gu Annan.
But everyone knew they had long since divorced, and recent rumors had indicated a possible reconciliation, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.
"No..." Lu Wanwan thought to herself, that was utter nonsense.
Just as she began to utter the word ’no,’ it felt as if two cold glares swept over her from the side.
Gu Annan spoke with ambiguous intent, "What do you want to say? Too embarrassed to admit it?"
"I...was going to say, let’s not discuss this here, Mr. Xiao didn’t ask for so much information."
"Let me introduce you to Mr. Xiao," Gu Annan said, seeing she didn’t outright deny it, his expression finally eased a bit.
Xiao Ye picked up a glass of champagne and raised it, "Congratulations."
He finished his drink in one gulp and then left without saying anything else.
Lu Wanwan immediately turned around, frowning at Gu Annan, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Nonsense?" Gu Annan scoffed softly, his arms tightening again, pressing her closer into his embrace, "When have I ever spoken nonsense?"
"Shameless!" She was at a loss for words and could only roll her eyes at him.
She was no longer Mrs. Gu, and this way of asserting ownership without even asking for her opinion was too overbearing.
Does he understand what divorce means?
"Let go, I have things to do," Lu Wanwan patted the hand around her waist lightly.
"If you don’t behave, I’ll just take you away," he threatened, his voice low and secretive, causing her every move to stiffen.
This detestable man, how was she to work if he continued to hold her like this?
Seeing him, those people would seize the chance to curry favor and flatter him; even because of his golden signboard status, she probably could easily find a cover figure now.
That wouldn’t reflect her own abilities at all!
What if it was him?
Suddenly, the idea popped into Lu Wanwan’s mind, and she swiftly glanced at him.
The handsome face before her eyes turned to look at her in that instant, and her heart skipped a beat.
No, no, it can’t be him.
She can’t let him become popular again, nor does she want another batch of his adoring fans chasing after him and calling him ’husband.’
That would be very troublesome for her.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Annan’s displeasure had completely dissipated, replaced by a low purr.
"Nothing," Lu Wanwan replied tersely.
What she hadn’t expected was that Gu Annan didn’t just refer to her as "Mrs. Gu" in front of Xiao Ye alone.
To everyone they met and introduced her to, she was his "Mrs. Gu," regardless of how surprised they were upon hearing it.
In the end, Lu Wanwan couldn’t stay there any longer; seizing the opportunity after securing the cover personality, she quickly dragged him away without even watching Jiabao’s show.
"Gu Annan, have you lost your mind?" As soon as they left the venue, Lu Wanwan immediately let go of his hand, "Who’s Mrs. Gu? The whole city knows about your divorce, and here you are bringing your ex-wife to such an event and talking nonsense."
"Even if the whole city thinks I’m divorced, I’m free to say what I want. Besides, this isn’t talking nonsense at all!"
Lu Wanwan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him anymore. She guessed the reason was probably because of what their daughter had said that morning.
You have to be married to call someone ’daddy.’
Was it really necessary to go this far just for that title ’daddy’?
"I’m going home," she announced upon stepping outside and seeing his car.
She walked straight to the vehicle, opened the door, and climbed in.
Gu Annan followed suit and instructed the driver to set off.
"Mrs. Gu, what were you up to this afternoon?"
