Chapter 854: Chapter 854: Wanna Hang Out? (Part 2)
Even though bringing her out had something to do with avoiding Xue Ru, it was also because he wanted to be alone with her.
Those two little ones, although he liked them too and regretted that he had been absent from their lives for a long time, still he felt they took up too much of Lu Wanwan’s time.
This time, he specially brought Mu Bei over before Mu Xing arrived, underusing his talents just to protect them, thinking he could relax with her alone for a day.
Who would have thought...
A sound of a car speeding up came from behind, suddenly braking and stopping beside the Land Rover.
"I haven’t been to this place for many years!" Shao Zhixing got out of the car and looked around, pointing at the wooden house and saying to Xu Yuan, "There’s a big bed inside that house, I came here many years ago."
Xu Yuan turned her head and gave him a fierce glare, "So what, what’s it to do with you!"
Coming over and talking about a bed, really!
Saying this, she walked towards Lu Wanwan, grinning cheekily, "Let me see if you’ve gained or lost weight."
Gu Annan blackened his face, looking at the energetic Shao Zhixing, discontent in his eyes.
Shao Zhixing locked the car, didn’t mind Xu Yuan’s anger, instead hooking a mischievous smile, "I mentioned the bed because there’s a skylight above to watch the stars from. If you like, we won’t leave."
Xu Yuan clung to Lu Wanwan’s arm, "If we watch, it’s her and me watching!"
Shao Zhixing’s face froze, gritting his teeth, "In your dreams! Tonight’s the Gu Family’s banquet, we don’t need to go, but they can’t escape."
"Oh, I won’t watch then." Xu Yuan lost interest immediately.
Lu Wanwan covered her mouth and laughed, looking at the two men with a face of helplessness.
The two men, almost the same height, stood by the lake, both handsome and extraordinary, complementing the scenery, yet both with sulky expressions.
Gu Annan’s expression had been like this all along, ever since she joked about the person she was texting with being a man.
Even though she later explained it was Shao Zhixing and she had arranged to meet them together, his expression had never really softened.
"Oh, the door is locked!" Xu Yuan tugged Lu Wanwan, curiously pushing the wooden house’s door.
Lu Wanwan explained, "We just got here too, haven’t had time to go in yet."
"Never mind going in, the scenery here is so nice, let’s take a walk." Xu Yuan, without waiting for a reply, led her far away, not caring about the expressions behind them.
Shao Zhixing, looking sullen and helpless, turned his head to see Gu Annan’s dark face, probably feeling similar to himself.
"By the way, I have something to tell you." Shao Zhixing saw that they had walked a bit farther, not knowing what they were talking about, turned and said quietly to Gu Annan, "I just saw someone at the airport."
"Who?"
Shao Zhixing’s face lost its usual flippancy, becoming more serious, "When Xu Yuan went to the restroom, I saw the person you’ve been looking for. The one you’ve been searching since six years ago, Lu Wanwan’s half-sister, what’s her name, forgot, but it’s definitely her."
When Gu Annan found Lu Kexin, he had Shao Zhixing and a few others searching too, but surprisingly, those who were influential in Manchester couldn’t find anything.
"Lu Kexin."
Shao Zhixing’s eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity, "I’m really curious, how did an already alone and helpless woman manage to slip under our noses undetected back then, still can’t figure it out. Not being able to handle such a simple thing makes me question my own abilities!"
