Chapter 37: Am I a Beast?

Lu Anran pursed her lips and looked at him. “We have an agreement.”
“I didn’t say I would do anything to you,” Gu Liangchen said while reaching out to pull her. “Why are you so far away from me? Am I a beast?”
Lu Anran put the soup in her hand between the two of them, raised her eyebrows, and said, “Almost.”
He withdrew his hand while chuckling, and, suddenly, his tone changed, “Are you still in touch with Master Heli now?”
“Huh?” Anran couldn’t keep up with his abrupt changing of topics and was startled by the question.
“Yesterday, Qiming’s gallery sold a painting,” Gu Liangchen began. The buyer liked it very much. Qiming also hopes to work with the artist in the future. However, the artist is very mysterious. There is no other way to find the person except via QQ number. I think the style of painting is quite good and in Master Heli’s style. I wanted to inquire about it for Qiming and see if you know the painter or something.”
Lu Anran immediately remembered the hacker who hacked into her computer last night.
At the time, she thought it was someone Lu Anna hired, but she didn’t expect Gu Liangchen to be the culprit.
She wasn’t expecting that the gallery she found on the internet by mistake was his friend Huo Qiming’s.
This world was really small.
She lowered her head and took a sip of the ginger soup, then said, “Since my father had an accident, I haven’t contacted the teacher much, so I don’t seem to be able to help with that.”
He curled his lips and smiled meaningfully, “It’s okay. I was also entrusted by others, so I was just asking casually.”
In the end, Gu Liangchen eagerly followed her to the master bedroom. He barely kept his promise and did nothing except use her as a pillow the entire night.
But from his bodily reaction, Lu Anran felt that he was probably enduring it with great effort.
The next day, Lu Anran bought a stack of invitation cards on the way to work. After arriving at the place, she sent one to each of her colleagues in various departments, then specified that they just needed to come at the indicated time and didn’t need to bring gifts.
Naturally, everyone was happy when they got their invitations. Free food and entertaining drama? Who would want to miss out on such a good thing?
Seeing that she was full of enthusiasm, Cheng Zhi felt even more hopeless. During the lunch break, he couldn’t wait to meet Lu Anna.
After a round of consoling in the hotel room, Cheng Zhi said with a bitter expression on his face, “It’s all because of your idea. Now Lu Anran is dragging me to get engaged. What should I do?”
The original plan was for Cheng Zhi to find Lu Anran in the office to propose in public. If Lu Anran refused, his ‘parents’ would cry about how they sold a house and a piece of land in his hometown for their son to get a wife, but Lu Anran agreed. It turned out that the prospective daughter-in-law was a pretentious b*tch that liked to play with people’s emotions. Then, the old mother would pretend to have a heart attack.
The people arranged in advance would record this scene and post it directly on the internet, then spend money on becoming a top-ranking search to make Lu Anran infamous and force her to leave Mu City.
Yet Lu Anran agreed to his marriage proposal at the beginning of the act.
Lu Anna put on her dress while as she spoke, “Then you can get engaged with her. If you can really marry her, if you’re happy, the higher-up might directly reward you with the position of dean.”
“Na Na, you know that I only have you in my heart. How can you say such silly things?”
Lu Anna’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes glanced at him. “But you didn’t sleep with enough women…”
Cheng Zhi’s face immediately darkened when he heard that. “Didn’t I do so just to get resources for you? Otherwise, I would have felt disgusted by just glancing at those old women. I’ve loyally done everything for you, but now you want to burn bridges after the deed is done and seize the opportunity to dump me?”
When Lu Anna saw that he was anxious, she immediately sat down and kissed him on the cheek and soothed him, “I know you have a hard time dealing with those old women. As if I’m willing to accompany that old man Zhu? But Zhu Lanyi has compromising information about us in her hand, so even if he’s disgusting, I have to endure it for the time being.”
