Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Let’s Get Married (25) Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Let’s Get Married (25) Zhao Chen had no other choice but to accept, and in fact, everything that was sent to Director Gu was of the utmost importance.

Director Gu also wanted him to sift through everything once more, indicating that apart from a few top-level projects, Director Gu was planning on shutting everything else down.

Gu Annan got out of the car and walked into the courtyard of the Ye Mansion.

The hall was quiet, and not even the lights were on.

On the living room floor lay Lu Wanwan, who had fainted.

Gu Annan rushed forward, nearly losing his sanity in that moment.

Lu Wanwan rubbed her head and came to, lying on the bed in her own room.

Her room hadn’t changed, it felt as if she had woken up to a few years ago.

“You’re awake.”

A cool voice interrupted her momentary daze.

As Lu Wanwan looked up, the lights in the room were turned on at the same time.

Gu Annan came in holding a small bowl and sat down by the bed.

He looked at the woman with the pale face and furrowed his brows deeply.

At noon, she had said she had no appetite, eating only a little, and couldn’t bring herself to eat more, which he didn’t insist on at the time.

Little did he know, when he rushed over after handling things, he would find her passed out, not knowing how long she had been lying on the floor.

He immediately carried her up from the first floor and called for a doctor, who almost got into a car accident due to his urging.

In the end, the check-up revealed no significant issues, mainly low blood sugar from not eating anything, combined with the shock she’d sustained.

While making congee, Gu Annan checked again and found out she hadn’t eaten anything since being called to the hospital in the morning.

“Lu Wanwan, no matter why you’re not feeling hungry, you must finish this,” he said.

Lu Wanwan looked at his stern face and didn’t say anything.

She was ready to take it and eat by herself, but seeing Gu Annan pause with a warning look, she wisely gave up and obediently opened her mouth to wait for him to feed her.

Both of them were silent, one just feeding, the other just eating.

The bowl of congee was soon finished.

Seeing him about to get up, Lu Wanwan quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, “Wait a minute.”

Gu Annan turned his face to look at her, expressionless.

Lu Wanwan rubbed her stomach, “Can I have another bowl?”

Seeing him huff and leave, she let down her guard.

Having fainted earlier must have upset Gu Annan, which wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

At lunch, she had refused to eat properly, and this had been the result.

Faced with her grandmother’s body and the empty house, she only felt darkness before her eyes, felt nauseous, and then everything spun out of control.

Then she lost consciousness and fainted.

Before long, Gu Annan indeed brought another bowl of congee.

“Let me do it, I have the strength now,” she said, and this time, after one look, Gu Annan acquiesced to her wish.

After finishing the second bowl, she got up and put the bowl away.

She saw the silent man standing beside her, staring at her, with an unreadable emotion in his eyes.

“I want to go downstairs to see Grandma,” she said softly, “I promise it won’t happen again, the fainting.”

“Your promise?”

“As long as… as long as you come with me,” she said, eyes lowered.

In the end, she didn’t hear his response, but saw him already walking out the door.

They both stood vigil all night, until dawn.

The funeral for Grandma was very simple, as the Ye Family really had no relatives who still kept in touch.

And from Grandma’s maternal family, there had been no contact for many years.

The only people who came were Xu Yuan, Shao Zhiheng, a few others, and the caretaker auntie.

“Miss Lu, Director Bai has come.”
