"Auntie Li, I’m going to find him, not leaving without a cause."

Auntie Li still shook her head, "I’m sorry, Young Madam. The young master’s intention is clear, and you cannot go out."

"What about tomorrow?" she asked again.

"The young master said, not until he permits. Please, Young Madam, don’t make it difficult for us, we really can’t let you go out."

Lu Wanwan thought of the last words he said and could only ask, "Auntie Li, do you know when he will be back?"

Auntie Li sighed, "Of course, I don’t know. The young master was in such a state, we didn’t dare say half a word more. Young Madam, how... has it come to this?"

"There’s been some misunderstanding, it’s not as the media says."

Auntie Li clutched her chest, relieved, "As long as it’s a misunderstanding, I feared it was as it seemed. Young Madam, you also don’t look well, you should rest early. When the young master comes back, I will tell him to look for you."

Lu Wanwan returned to her room, devoid of sleep.

She sat on the sofa in the room, holding a cup of iced water in her hands.

After a long time, the room door was suddenly pushed open.

The person who walked in still had a frosty face.

Lu Wanwan put down the water cup, waiting for him to speak, but half a day passed without a word.

She stood up, her hoarse voice saying, "I saw the news just now; I’m very sorry for causing this situation. If there’s anything I can do to make amends, I will..."

"Amends, sorry?" His mocking voice towered as he watched her face filled with guilt.

At this time, all she could think of was her apology for this situation.

"I saw that someone leaked news about our marriage, and I know this has had a bad impact on the Gu family." Her lips were nearly as pale as her face, her words labored, "I don’t know what I should do at a time like this, if you have a way..."

"The board gave me a very good solution," Gu Annan said with icy eyes, stepping closer, speaking softly, "Turn this marriage into a purely business alliance, and then divorce, thereby severing all cooperation with Jin’an, and clear all ties with Jin’an, including you. What do you think about this suggestion?"

Lu Wanwan suddenly took a half step back, staring at him wide-eyed.

Under the dim wall lamp light, his approaching handsome face was just inches away from hers.

His cold eyes, like lingering blades, were incisively cruel.

"Speak," he whispered coldly, taking a few steps closer, cornering her against the wall where she couldn’t move.

"Are you worried I won’t agree?" Lu Wanwan’s voice trembled, "I caused this disaster; if this can make amends, I can..."

She wasn’t finished speaking when Gu Annan’s expression turned furious.

Before her last sentence was complete, he kissed her fiercely.

The heat from her body lingered, and wherever his large hand touched, it seemed as if flames were being ignited.

At the meeting, he listened to those suggestions without a word, and only at the end, on his way out, did he leave them with a two-word response—dream on!

In their eyes, the interests of the company were paramount, and everything should give way to the interests of the company.

The initial cooperation with Jin’an faced such opposition, and now all of it was brought up again.

But in his eyes, let alone just a fall in stock price, a shrink in market value, and the trivial public discourse.

Even if it meant the Gu family breaking several contracts and severing several funding chains, what of it?

Yet he really managed to get this answer from her.
