Chapter 240: Stopped Pretending?

At last, Lu Chengzhou was the first to give in. He had no choice but to laugh. Every time she looked at him in this manner, there was nothing he could do. He lifted and pinched her chin while shaking.

Gu Mang’s gaze froze for a second. His fingers were rough from using guns all these years.

They felt a little warm but when they touched her chilly skin, there was an unexplainable odd sensation. It was really intimate and nobody had ever done this to her. Her eyes narrowed and she saw him lowering his head and inching closer to her. The smell of cigarettes infused into her breath.

His voice was low and charismatic. “I’m not angry. I’m just wondering when you will start trusting me like how you trust Jiang Shenyuan and all.”

She would rather get Jiang Shenyuan from the capital to defend her and did not even give him a call.

“I trust you,” Gu Mang said without hesitation. Immediately after, she frowned and pondered. Moments later, she lifted her gaze. “I’m used to depending on myself for everything.”

She learned everything and did all kinds of work. Gu Mang could count the ones who mattered on one hand. She usually would not bother to explain a single word but right now she was thinking about what she should tell Lu Chengzhou.

“You brought the evidence and helped me,” she added.

Lu Chengzhou looked at the girl’s serious expression and could not help but laugh. Opening the car door, his voice was brimming with joy. “Let’s speak in the car. It’s cold outside.”

“Oh,” Gu Mang responded and got into the car.

Lu San kept distance from them. When he saw his young master let Ms. Gu get into the car, he approached him. “Young Master Lu, are we returning to Seal Palace?”

“Ming City High School,” the man responded as he got into the car as well.

“Sure.” Lu San sat beside the driver seat and put down the barrier between the back and front seats.

When Gu Mang got into the car, she saw a cup of milk tea, macarons, and a slice of strawberry mille crepe cake. She raised her eyebrows. How considerate of him to bring her dinner.

She looked at Lu Chengzhou who got into the car from the other side. “Thank you.”

Lu Chengzhou removed the wrapping of the straw and poked it into the cup of milk tea before passing to her. His eyes were dark and deep. “Start with the habit of saying ‘thank you’ in order to change.”

Used to depending on herself for everything? Never mind, he would help her change.

Gu Mang raised an eyebrow and acknowledged as she took the milk tea. The matter in the police station was settled pretty fast. The milk tea was still very warm. She took a sip and tasted mango popping pearls which were delectable.

Lu Chengzhou helped her open the strawberry mille crepe cake. Out of the blue, he said, “Stopped pretending?”

Gu Mang looked at him in silence.

Lu Chengzhou placed the cake in her hand. “Scored zeros for your papers? Mhm?”

He emphasized the final syllable and raised his eyebrows at her. Gu Mang recalled the time she did a Mathematics paper in front of him.

...

Gu Mang arrived at school at 10.30 P.M. but did not attend the self study classes. Instead, she headed back to her dormitory. After showering, she heard chatter in the corridor. The dormitory’s door was opened from the outside.

Meng Jinyang saw Gu Mang in the dormitory and smiled. “Gu Mang, when did you come back?”

“Just now.” Gu Mang dried her hair with a towel. “Have you finished your paper? Let me have a look.”

Shen Huan was placing her bag on her bed when she heard Gu Mang’s words. She immediately stood up, hitting her head on the upper bunk. The sound of it alone felt painful.

“D*mn, Shen Huan, be careful. What are you excited for?” Her roommates laughed.

Shen Huan rubbed her head and turned to Gu Mang. “Sister Mang, what did you just say? You want to have a look at my paper? Did I hear wrong?”
