Lu An'an felt a chill run down her spine, raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashed in her eyes.
"What did you say?"
Gu Tingyan's eyes were bloodshot. He gripped Lu An'an's slender neck tightly, closing in step by step until they were close enough to hear each other's disordered breathing. Looking at Lu An'an, he said again, "Little darling, how could you forget me?"
Lu An'an frowned. "Gu Tingyan, let go."
Gu Tingyan ignored him and continued forward until their breaths mingled, and the air was filled with a suffocating tension and ambiguity.
Lu An'an turned her head away, avoiding his touch, and expressionlessly pried open Gu Tingyan's fingers one by one.
The moment Lu An'an broke free of her hand, Gu Tingyan grabbed it, raised it above his head, leaned close, and whispered in her ear, "Little darling, since you've forgotten everything, how about I help you remember?"
Lu An'an: "..."
[Damn! I thought he was going to expose himself, but it turns out he's thinking about his ex-girlfriend?]
[So I've been putting on this show for so long? Wasting my emotions and energy??]
Does the male lead have an ex-girlfriend?
Lu An'an was lost in thought when Gu Tingyan's head quietly approached her neck. She snapped back to reality, a hint of impatience flashing across her brows. Instinctively, she turned to the side to avoid him. Just as she was about to kick him over, the force binding her wrist suddenly dissipated, and Gu Tingyan's body lost its support, slowly falling to the ground.
Behind them was Fu Zhiyan's face, which was full of gloom and whose eyes were filled with suppressed anger.
Lu An'an blinked, looking at the person in front of her in astonishment, "Fu Zhiyan? What are you doing here?"
[Huh? What's with the main villain suddenly appearing here? Is he involved in another kidnapping case?]
Fu Zhiyan gently kicked Gu Tingyan, who was slumped to the side, and a hint of disgust inadvertently showed between his brows. Then he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, gently took Lu An'an's hand, and carefully wiped it over and over again with focus and seriousness.
Lu An'an: "..."
[So obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness that you can't stand seeing someone being touched?]
Fu Zhiyan wiped Lu An'an's wrist several times before finally putting it down with satisfaction. Looking at Lu An'an, who was obedient and did not resist, he smiled slightly. "I went to your older brother's company to discuss cooperation. When I heard that he was coming to Jiazhou City, and your live broadcast was turned off, I was a little worried about you, so I came along."
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an gave Fu Zhiyan a subtle look.
Isn't the main villain being a bit too enthusiastic? Could he be...?
Fu Zhiyan paused slightly as he packed the handkerchief, then looked up at Lu An'an expectantly. Had the little girl finally sensed it?
"An'an, come and see your second brother."
Lu Wenjing spoke softly, gently pulling Lu An'an's thoughts back from Fu Zhiyan.
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an immediately suppressed her wild thoughts and focused all her attention on Lu Yanli. She knelt down next to Lu Yanli, took out a bottle of medicine, and gently shook it near Lu Yanli and Gu Shichuan's noses, the faint fragrance of the medicine lingering around them.
Under the influence of the medicine, Lu Yanli and Gu Shichuan slowly woke up.
Lu An'an stood up again and walked towards Gu Tingyan. She had only taken two steps when Fu Zhiyan stopped her. He took the bottle of medicine from Lu An'an's hand without making a sound, his face calm and expressionless, and said only, "I'll take it."
Lu An'an raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile: "Okay, go ahead."
After saying that, she ignored them and turned to talk to Lu Wenjing: "Big brother, what brings you here?"
Lu Wenjing explained, "Someone told me that Grandma was here. I was watching the live stream, and you and Yan Li happened to be here too. I was worried something might happen, so I came over."
He examined Lu An'an carefully, and when he saw the red marks on her neck, his expression suddenly darkened, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
What's going on with Gu Tingyan?
Lu An'an glanced at the person lying on the ground and said calmly, "It's nothing, he might be missing his ex-girlfriend."
[He seemed off today. Xiao Guai? The original story didn't mention him having an ex-girlfriend named Xiao Guai.]
She looked at Gu Tingyan, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
[And the first time he said that line, he seemed so much like the master behind the scenes.]
Just in case, let's go back and check Gu Tingyan's file.
Lu Wenjing also looked at Gu Tingyan with a serious expression. Was he the master? But Gu Tingyan had grown up with him, and it seemed that he hadn't noticed any grudge between him and the Lu family.
Lu Yanli, who had just woken up, was still not fully awake when he heard his sister say that Gu Tingyan was like a master. It was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, instantly shattering his chaotic thoughts.
What?! Gu Tingyan might be the master?! I knew that dog had ill intentions, he deserves to die, I'm going to have him assassinated!!
On the other side, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashed in Fu Zhiyan's eyes. His slender fingers lightly gripped the medicine bottle, and with a seemingly unintentional tremor, he shoved it into Gu Tingyan's nose.
Gu Tingyan was choked awake, and sat up with a flushed face while coughing.
Upon seeing Fu Zhiyan appear before him, he looked surprised. His gaze then shifted and caught the icy stares of the three Lu siblings, who were all fixed on him.
Gu Tingyan: "..."
He blinked, staring blankly at the four people who all looked at him with the same distorted gaze, and felt a little panicked.
"W-what's wrong?"
Lu An'an sneered: "You little brat, trying to play the amnesia card with me, huh?"
Gu Tingyan was taken aback upon hearing this, and suddenly recalled what he had done when he was not in a conscious state.
His pupils dilated, and his ears turned red. He apologized to Lu An'an incoherently, "An'an, I'm sorry. I'm playing a villain in my next drama. I might have been too engrossed in reading the script lately, so... It's my fault, I'm sorry."
