Lu Zhanbei nodded .
Lin Wanwan didn’t continue babbling . They walked under the faint moonlight holding hands, and their shadows dragged across the pathway .
Lin Wanwan called softly, “Lu Zhanbei . ”
“Eh?”
Lin Wanwan hesitated for a second . “Remember when I said that you have someone that you love? Just asking… was I right?”
He didn’t answer back then, so she took it as a yes .
But now, she wanted a definite answer .
At least, she wanted to know if he was still thinking of another woman while loving her .
Lu Zhanbei clenched his teeth .
Lin Wanwan’s question proved that he was someone special to her, but it also means that it had bothered her all this while .
However, he didn’t know how to answer her .
He didn’t want to lie to her, but how could she accept a man who loves two women?
If it were the other way around, Lu Zhanbei would never take that as an option .
Lin Wanwan’s smile faded a little as Lu Zhanbei remained silent . “Is it that hard to answer?”
“No . ”
Although she was still smiling, her eyes looked distant .
Lu Zhanbei felt butterflies in his stomach . He held onto her shoulders and gazed at her eyes .
“Listen to me . ”
He didn’t want to hide the truth about Lin Xiao or his feeling towards Lin Wanwan . He wanted to leave the choice to Lin Wanwan .
Lin Wanwan tilted her head as she waited patiently for his explanation .
“Actually…”
Just when Lu Zhanbei finally had the courage to confess all his feelings, a scream echoed from the mansion .
Getting cut off, his expression went from all seriousness to frustration .
“Fuck!” he yelled .
“…” Lu Zhanbei had always been calm and composed . It was the first time that Lin Wanwan heard him spill vulgarities . More than shock, she felt refreshed .
“Cough . ” Sensing her curious eyes, Lu Zhanbei felt a little embarrassed .
Lin Wanwan patted his shoulders and went back to her casual self . “The show is about to begin . We can’t miss the show! Let’s continue this conversation next time!”
While speaking, she sprinted towards the scene .
“Lin Wanwan!”
Lin Wanwan came to a sharp halt . Turning back, she met a pair of forbearing eyes .
“I once promised you…”
Lin Wanwan stared in a daze as Lu Zhanbei continued, “I will always protect you . ”
Hearing this, she closed her eyes, covering the complicated emotions . “You did just as you promised . ”
Before Lu Zhanbei could carry on, Lin Wanwan rushed to his side and grabbed him by his hands . “Alright, it’s time for me to watch the show . How about you wait for me in the car?”
Lu Zhanbei tightened his grip . His pinched brows unfolded as he replied, “Ok . ”
He sneaked his way in here today . To not create a commotion, it was better for him not to appear .
The meeting hall on the first floor was empty . She followed the noises to the second floor and found the guests gathered outside a room, shock written on their faces .
Lin Wanwan made her way in with her slender figure .
“Ah!!!”
A scream echoed in the room as Lin Wanwan finally reached the door .
