“Oh?”
He suddenly leaned over, and his flawless, handsome face was reflected in her clear eyes . After he curved his lips into a smile, Lin Wanwan’s eyes flashed a glimmer of shock, and she unconsciously stared at him .
A beauty’s smile could cause the downfall of a city and a nation…
Lu Zhanbei was very satisfied with her reaction . He smiled even deeper and asked, “Then how do you explain you taking the initiative back then to kiss me?”
Lin Wanwan was shocked . Without waiting for her to recover herself, Lu Zhanbei raised his hand and hooked a messy strand of hair dangling from her ears . As he casually played with it, he raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly .
This was different from the elegant and gentle smile previously . This smile carried a little playfulness, a little laziness, and some faintly discernible seduction .
Lin Wanwan was stunned and could only stare at him again .
“Lin Wanwan…”
Lu Zhanbei lowered his head . His warm breathing swept past her ears with a warm stream of air .
“You don’t look like a person with chastity now . ”
“…” Waking up from this beautiful dream, Lin Wanwan glared at him with hatred and sadness .
He is so despicable! He actually used his looks to seduce me!
Lu Zhanbei said coldly, “Based on the above, your words are not credible . So, no falling in love allowed!”
Lin Wanwan was really depressed now . To be honest, Lu Zhanbei was neither her parent nor her relative . He shouldn’t have a say at all as to whether she falls in love or not .
The reason why she kept beating around the bush and eventually did not reject him directly was because she knew that Lu Zhanbei truly treated her well .
“Let’s discuss . Can you stop worrying about this matter?”
Lu Zhanbei immediately understood what she meant . A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes . “You think I’m being a busybody?”
“I…”
Lin Wanwan initially wanted to quibble . However, looking at Lu Zhanbei’s cold, black eyes, she could only bite her lip and mutter to herself .
“You might not know that I really want to fall in love in this lifetime . Since I have chosen Luo Han, I won’t give up so easily – unless you tell me a convincing reason . ”
Reason?
Lu Zhanbei looked down and blocked the light in his eyes . He suddenly said, “Lin Wanwan, look at me . ”
“What?”
Looking at the girl’s clear eyes, Lu Zhanbei shockingly felt a hint of nervousness in his heart . He said slowly, “If I say the reason why I don’t want you to be together with Luo Han is because I… don’t want you to leave me, would you believe me?”
He eventually chose to use a more tactful manner, for fear of scaring her .
Although he still could not understand how he could like two women at the same time, the truth was exactly that .
Lin Wanwan was stunned . She asked seriously, “You’re serious?”
“Very serious . ”
Lin Wanwan looked depressed .
Lu Zhanbei’s expression was indifferent . However, the tight rubbing of his lips revealed the perturbation in his heart .
In those moments, he felt like he was a prisoner waiting for a verdict in court . Lin Wanwan’s answer would determine if he was acquitted or imprisoned for life .
After a long while, Lin Wanwan placed a hand on his shoulder and pressed down firmly . “We’re all adults now . ”
Lu Zhanbei frowned, not understanding what she meant .
Lin Wanwan sighed and said sincerely, “I know you have always regarded me as a junior that needs to be taken care of, and you can’t help but protect me under your wings . However, I will grow up one day . Even if you can’t bear it, we will separate from each other one day . So you need to learn how to let go . Do you understand?”
Lu Zhanbei was speechless .
This damned girl thought that his feelings for her was like those in a fledgling story?
She was being stupid again when she shouldn’t be!
“Lin Wanwan, listen up! I…”
