Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Discomfort Within (2)

Bai Lingyun’s peripheral vision caught her rush into the bathroom, followed by the sound of the door locking.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He bet that if he asked directly, this woman would probably be so embarrassed she might scream, or even demand he roll out of this room immediately.

But...did she really want it?

His eyes flitted with a flash of cold light, merely being caught having fainted her was excusable, but using that kind of drug was too malicious.

If he were not here and she had fallen alone on the hotel floor, wouldn’t that be...

As Lu Wanwan took her shower, her phone on the table vibrated several times.

He walked over and glanced at it, saw it was Gu Annan, and thus did not answer.

A moment later, the phone received a text from Song Ning. After his repeated urging, she was finally almost there.

He called the front desk and mentioned the visitor’s name.

When the sound of water stopped, he said, "Dr. Song will be here soon."

"Okay!" came Lu Wanwan’s panicked reply from inside.

Bai Lingyun found it a bit amusing. Speaking to her at a time like this, she must be terrified.

He had not planned to enter the room when he booked it, choosing a random one, and now its small size and the poor soundproofing of the bathroom became quite evident.

"Also, Mr. Gu called you several times, but it wasn’t convenient for me to answer for you..."

"Don’t answer!"

He sat back down on the couch, and just as he did, there came a knock at the door.

"I’ll get the door. Be quick."

Lu Wanwan temporarily donned a hotel bathrobe, the areas of her clothes that clung closely to her body were too sweat-soaked; she’d leave her clothes for now and change after seeing Dr. Song before leaving.

"I know, I’m coming out right away."

Bai Lingyun walked to the door, and if Song Ning didn’t arrive soon, she might just go crazy.

"Are you..." Bai Lingyun had just opened the door when an influx of reporters pushed their way in.

The camera flashes never stopped, and neither did the clicking sounds.

Several small video cameras were aimed at him as well.

"Mr. Bai Lingyun, is it true that someone reported you were conducting illegal transactions here?"

"You canceled a charity event to spend the night in a hotel, have you thought about what those children will think?"

"Mr. Bai Lingyun, you previously denied your romance, is this your lover? Or is this a paid transaction?"

Bai Lingyun’s face became severely taut all at once, and he grew visibly somber.

The video cameras focused on the expressions on his face, capturing his every change.

"What’s happening?" Lu Wanwan stepped out wearing the bathrobe, just as she picked up her phone, she realized that instead of Song Ning, it was the reporters who had burst through the door.

"Go back inside," Bai Lingyun said sternly.

Lu Wanwan did not dare to linger for a moment longer and hurried back into the bathroom.

Without any time to think further, her phone began to vibrate again.

But at that moment, staring at Gu Annan’s name, her brain went blank.

As the phone continued to vibrate, she answered to hear Gu Annan’s urgent and chilly voice, "Where are you?"

"I... I..."

"Lu Wanwan, I’m asking you one more time, where are you?"

Holding the phone, she stood in the bathroom, unsure of how Bai Lingyun would deal with the reporters.

"I’m at..."

"Which floor are you on?"

Her heart sank heavily. Which floor?

Did Gu Annan know where she was?

"Could you please not come right now..."

She thought of the reporters outside, but before she could finish speaking, the call was abruptly cut off.

Shortly after, it quieted down outside.

She walked out from the bathroom, her face pale.

Bai Lingyun sat with a stern face, the room’s door was now closed, but his complexion showed no sign of improvement.
