"So, does that mean you've agreed?" Lu Zhihang propped himself up slightly, leaning forward with an excited look on his face. His eyes seemed to hold an entire galaxy.
He looked really good at this moment. There wasn't a single flaw on his fair skin, which would even make women envious.
Lin Wan felt the importance he attached to her from his posture. Even though they might part ways in the future, at least she could feel that Lu Zhihang was sincere about her at this moment.
That was enough.
"Sort of. But there will be an assessment. I'll judge your performance later!" She smiled, her eyes curving.
"Great!" Lu Zhihang slapped his thigh hard and jumped up from the sofa. He looked like he was about to break into a dance on the spot, which made Lin Wan burst out laughing.
Before her laughter died down, she was suddenly hugged.
"What are you..." Lin Wan was stunned and was about to speak when she was interrupted.
"Don't move. Let me hug you for a while. Just a little while." Lu Zhihang buried his face in Lin Wan's neck. His gentle breaths sprayed on her neck, making it feel hot.
Actually, Lin Wan didn't like to be in close contact with others. When she was working at school, she would always try to avoid excessive contact with others. So she felt a bit awkward about this sudden hug from Lu Zhihang.
Fortunately, Lu Zhihang didn't hug her for long because his phone rang again.
He loosened his embrace on Lin Wan impatiently and took out his phone. After looking at the screen for a while, he hung up the call. However, the moment he hung up, the phone rang again. This happened several times, and Lu Zhihang's expression became increasingly gloomy.
Lin Wan looked at him and said helplessly, "Maybe you should answer it and see what they have to say."
Lu Zhihang looked up at Lin Wan. Finally, he hung up the call, turned off his phone on time, and then threw it on the coffee table before lying back on the sofa.
"I'm not answering. It's always the same old stuff. I'm so sick of it!" He rubbed his temples hard, looking a bit tired.
"Maybe I should leave. It's so late. You should rest too." Lin Wan stood up awkwardly and said.
Lu Zhihang quickly stopped her and frowned, "Don't go. Stay here for the night."
Lin Wan was stunned and instinctively shook her head, "No, no. It's not appropriate. It's too soon. I'd better go back first."
But Lu Zhihang didn't listen to her at all. He pulled her by the wrist and led her to the French window with the curtains drawn. He lifted a corner of the curtain and motioned for Lin Wan to look outside.
Lin Wan was curious and leaned forward to take a look.
Below the floor, there were dotted lights. The community at night was illuminated by those lights. Lin Wan could see there were many people down there, pushing and shoving to get in.
"Do you know who they are?" Lu Zhihang jerked his chin towards the outside and said half - smiling.
Lin Wan thought for a while, and her eyelids twitched as she said, "Don't tell me... they're paparazzi?"
Lu Zhihang raised his eyebrows, a smile on his lips, and snapped his fingers, "Bingo~ Isn't it spectacular?"
Lin Wan withdrew her gaze awkwardly, looked around the furnishings in the room, and said hesitantly, "So, what should we do now?"
"Stay. It's so late. Even if someone comes to deal with it, it will be very late. We'll leave tomorrow morning when they've all gone. I'll take you back to school." Lu Zhihang rubbed Lin Wan's hair and said with a smile.
Lin Wan was startled and took a step back, covering her hair with her hand. She stammered for a long time before saying, "Then, where will I sleep?"
Lu Zhihang was stunned for a moment. Looking at Lin Wan's innocent and nervous expression, he couldn't help laughing. He bent down slightly and got closer to Lin Wan, who was a head shorter than him. They stared into each other's eyes for a while.
Suddenly, he leaned over to Lin Wan's ear and whispered, "How about... sleeping with me?"
Bang!
As soon as he said this, Lu Zhihang quickly bent down and covered his calf, sucking in cold air as he looked up at Lin Wan.
Lin Wan glared at him fiercely and snorted, "I'm not sleeping with you! I'll go out right now and tell those people outside that you, Lu Zhihang, dumped the girl you just confessed to less than an hour ago!"
"Don't, don't! Stop!" Lu Zhihang quickly grabbed Lin Wan who was walking towards the door. He was a bit amused and said, "I'm just joking! Why are you taking it seriously? This is a two - bedroom apartment! There's definitely a place for you to sleep. If it were a one - bedroom, you could sleep in the master bedroom and I'd sleep on the sofa!"
Lin Wan stopped walking, but her expression was still a bit cold.
"Come on, come with me. I'll show you." Seeing her like this, Lu Zhihang quickly reached out and pulled her upstairs.
Compared with the downstairs, the upstairs of Lu Zhihang's room was simpler. The white walls and the black - gray doors gave it a simple and comfortable aesthetic feeling.
"The guest room. What do you think?" Lu Zhihang opened the door of a room and tilted his chin at Lin Wan.
Lin Wan gave him a suspicious look and walked into the room.
The room was well - decorated and quite spacious. In fact, the whole house was very big.
After looking around, Lin Wan nodded and her expression softened a bit.
Lu Zhihang smiled and pointed to the room opposite, saying, "That's my room. If you need anything, just come to me."
Lin Wan nodded.
"Then get some rest. I can tell you're really tired today." Lu Zhihang reached out and hugged Lin Wan, rubbed his face against her neck, and then reluctantly let go.
Lin Wan didn't say a word. She nodded and then closed the door.
After standing at the door for a while, Lu Zhihang smiled helplessly, turned around, took out his other phone, and called his second brother.
"What do you want in the middle of the night?" Lu Nanjing's tone was a bit gloating.
"Brother, I'm blocked. Hurry up and find someone to get rid of these people for me." Lu Zhihang rubbed his temples, feeling a bit exhausted.
"Get rid of them? Why don't you just make this thing even bigger? Our bureau was just saying that you won't let the public security management department rest. They just got off work, and you still want them to do things for you." Lu Nanjing snorted and laughed.
Lu Zhihang pursed his lips, squinted his eyes, and his voice suddenly became serious, "If your future sister - in - law can't go to school tomorrow, I'll go back and tell Mom and Dad that you bullied my girlfriend."
"Pfft!" Hearing this, Lu Nanjing spat out the mouthful of water he had just drunk onto the face of a young police officer beside him.
Police officer: What bad luck... QAQ
"Cough... Say that again. Who's in your house?" Lu Nanjing's voice suddenly rose an octave.
The police officer who originally wanted to complain turned around and ran away immediately. He didn't even want to hold anyone accountable.
"Your sister - in - law." Lu Zhihang said with a chuckle and then sat down on the sofa.
"The girl you just confessed to?"
"Yeah. Who else could it be?"
"Damn it. Wait for me. I'm coming over!"
