Chapter 695: Chapter 695 A Surprising Night (5)

The helicopter landed on a flat area at the base of a hillside, with the beach ahead and mountains behind.

"What place is this?" Lu Wanwan followed him down and noticed the vast distance around them, devoid of people.

The sound of the night wind and the waves filled her ears, as strips of waves crashed onto the beach under the dim moonlight.

"Administratively, it falls under the jurisdiction of Xigang, actually a yet undeveloped beach." He pointed at the mountain behind them, "Due to this barrier, it’s currently rather difficult to get here. On the other side of the mountain is a village near Xigang, which might need to have parts of the mountain blasted away if we were to develop this area."

Lu Wanwan took off her shoes and walked on the beach.

There weren’t any artificial light sources here, only the moonlight that had fallen and the stars’ glow.

"Why come here?" She was a bit surprised.

Gu Annan glanced sideways at the person by his side, his gaze sweeping from top to bottom, "Because you wanted to come down, this is the only place you could come down to and run around with your clothes all disheveled."

Disheveled clothes...

A trace of annoyance appeared on her face.

"I could have chosen not to wear my pajamas!"

"You can also choose not to wear them now," he said with a slight curl of his lips, his voice deep and incredibly sexy.

"..." She shouldn’t have conversed with him beyond three sentences.

"Come here." He sat down on a large rock, his clear eyes looking over as if reflecting the entire starry sky.

Lu Wanwan sat a little distance from him but saw his eyes suddenly narrow, and with a swift move, he stretched out his arm and pulled her directly into his lap.

"Are you a bandit!" Forcibly seated on his lap, she said angrily, "You just said you wouldn’t..."

Hadn’t he said he wouldn’t force her, and now she couldn’t even sit further away from him?

"I haven’t done anything." He held her in his arms, restraining his breath, his voice low and deep, "Just don’t move around too much."

The chill brought on by the night wind was immediately dispelled.

Lu Wanwan sat still, unable to resist murmuring, "Then you could just let go of me."

"No."

Listening to this familiar, uncompromising tone, she pursed her lips.

Indeed, old habits die hard.

"Wanwan." Gu Annan wasn’t looking at the night sky or the waves; he looked down, his handsome face hidden under the moonlight becoming ever more profound, his thin lips hesitating before parting, "Is there something you want to say?"

His knowing eyes fixed on her, he wasn’t without patience and knew that six years couldn’t bring a change in just a few days, making it not so simple to ask her to tell the truth.

Lu Wanwan hesitated for a moment, suddenly unsure of what he wanted to know.

Suddenly, many thoughts came to her mind, but she didn’t know where to start speaking.

"I..."

Just as she said a word, her phone started ringing.

From the pocket of her oversized nightgown, the light from her phone illuminated everything clearly.

She quickly took out the phone, which displayed "Auntie Deng."

Lu Wanwan’s mood immediately changed, and she stood up saying, "I need to take this call."

It was so late; why would Auntie Deng call?

A panic started to rise in her heart.

As soon as the call connected, Auntie Deng’s agitated, near-tearful voice came through.

"Xiaolu, I—I have failed your trust, Little Momo and Youyou have disappeared, I can’t find them."

The news exploded in Lu Wanwan’s mind, and the sobs from Auntie Deng continued, "I tried calling many times but couldn’t get through, I had no other choice, I didn’t dare to hide it from you."

She quickly gathered the details of what had happened and hung up the phone, only to turn around and see Gu Annan standing a short distance away.

His gaze dark and deep as he looked at her, "What happened?"
