This time, Gu Annan didn’t stop her again, and Lu Wanwan, pulling her luggage, got into the taxi.

The moment the door closed, her face felt hot, and she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

“Young Master.” Aunt Li rushed back in a hurry to see the main building of the Gu Mansion cold and empty, save for Gu Annan sitting alone in the living room.

There was still a bandage wrapped around his head, and his face was deathly pale.

“Where is Miss Lu…”

Aunt Li regretted asking as soon as she spoke, because the answer was obvious.

Gu Annan was still just sitting on the sofa, saying in a low voice, “Aunt Li, you should go rest.”

Aunt Li didn’t know what to say and could only nod her head.

The villa was so quiet that only his breathing could be heard.

Lu Wanwan’s words echoed in his head.

He knew all too well that her approaching him was only out of ‘necessity,’ but hearing those words still felt like a stab to the heart.

When she finally said that she had nothing to do with him, he no longer wished to speak.

Frozen in place, his chest ached terribly.

Upon hearing about yesterday’s events, he felt guilty but also strangely joyful.

The guilt was because of Ji Jiayi’s actions, for which he also bore responsibility due to his lax vigilance at the Ji Family.

The unexpected joy stemmed from the fact that she still cared about him.

But this care, once again, was only out of necessity.

When she no longer needed him, she wouldn’t have to ‘compromise’ herself anymore.

He was not irreplaceable in her heart.

“Achoo!” Lu Wanwan sneezed one after another–her cold had persisted for half a month without signs of recovering.

Qiaoqiao complained while playing her game, “You had such a good job as an entertainment reporter, yet you had to resign. Now, you can’t find work and you go out to run a street stall. It’s so cold at night, and this kind of changing weather is when you’re most likely to get sick.”

With her head feeling heavy, Lu Wanwan said, “Qiao, how many times have you said this? My ears have grown calluses from hearing it.”

“It’s all because you’re too stubborn, really. You’re in such need of money, and when you come across a job that matches your professional skills and pays well, you actually quit.” Qiaoqiao sighed, “At first, I thought you resigned because of Bai Lingyun, but half a month has gone by, and he’s just focused on shooting his new movie.”

Taozi, hearing the three words Bai Lingyun, stopped reviewing her materials to raise her head and speak with heartache, “Do you know how heartbroken I am? After losing the last heartthrob, and now Bai Lingyun, there’s not a single one left! Ah, now I can’t even muster the energy to cheer for the guys who are pursuing you. They’re all so lackluster!”

“Please,” Lu Wanwan said hoarsely and without enthusiasm, “Bai Lingyun is just a regular friend.”

“It must have been great to be an entertainment reporter to make friends with a movie star,” Taozi said, her eyes filled with heart-shaped bubbles as she looked at the wall full of posters of young male celebrities, “Is it too late for me to switch my major now?”

Half a month had passed since she moved out of the Gu Mansion, and she still hadn’t found a new job.

Making that decision wasn’t too difficult at the time; just thinking of Gu Annan and Ji Jiayi in bed together allowed her to be resolute without any hesitation.

In her impulsive state, she thought that even if Gu Annan was her sugar daddy, faced with this situation, she would probably want to throw his money right back at him.

She couldn’t bear to see him entangled with someone else, not for a single second.

But after the impulse, the price paid was heavy.

A job with a monthly salary of over twenty thousand was waved goodbye.
