Chapter 412: Sister Mang: Don’t Be Nervous
Lu Chengzhou looked at the girl’s delicate facial features, but nothing could be seen in her black eyes. His fingers that were hanging beside him showed that he was far less calm than he seemed.
His throat tightened. “When did you know?”
Gu Si was young and could not hold his anger back. When he was upset, he would think of causing trouble. He must have recognized her at Red Flame.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows slightly and her voice was dull and a little low. She answered concisely, “At the villa.”
Lu Chengzhou’s dark eyes moved. “Lu Jiu?”
Gu Mang nodded nonchalantly. The shallow arc at the corner of her mouth made her look rather evil. It wasn’t for him and Lu Jiu talking about Red Flame and Silence, perhaps she would have only found out that he was the big boss of Red Flame when Gu Si arrived at Red Flame.
After three years of investigation, the enemy that she could not find out had presented himself to her.
It was a rather incredible feeling.
Lu Chengzhou looked into Gu Mang’s eyes. There was some distance between the two of them and he couldn’t take the step closer.
Sitting stiffly on the bed, he asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
She knew at the small villa, but he hadn’t done anything unusual. She even came to Red Flame for training as if nothing had happened.
Gu Mang recalled her mood at that time, uttered a sound of acknowledgment, laughed, and said casually, “I couldn’t even do anything about it. There was no need to.”
She had been quite surprised when she heard the conversation between him and Lu Jiu, and she didn’t know how to deal with him.
So she did not say anything.
Lu Chengzhou was a little flustered by her attitude.
He preferred she come over and beat him than act so calm.
He bit the corner of his lips, got up, and walked towards her. For some reason, he felt like his feet were rather heavy. He stopped in front of her and looked into her eyes.
Gu Mang supported her face, and tilted her head to look at him. She looked rather indifferent.
Lu Chengzhou’s jaw moved, and after a short pause, he spoke. His face was a little pale. “I’m sorry, I can explain.”
Gu Mang was still smiling. She answered slowly, “I don’t wanna listen.”
Lu Chengzhou was silent. Gu Si was right. No matter how he explained, Gu Mang couldn’t forget about the injuries that she had suffered.
It was very quiet in the hut. It was obvious from the man’s eyes that he was very anxious but he did not know what to say.
Just then, Gu Mang stood up. Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes and he looked at her nervously.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. “Don’t be nervous, I won’t leave. Just getting a bottle of water.”
Lu Chengzhou was silent.
Gu Mang’s mouth curled up a little. She walked to the corner, bent over to pick up two bottles of mineral water, then she turned around, and handed him one.
Lu Chengzhou took the bottle, opened it, and gave it to her.
Gu Mang paused, glanced at him, and smiled again. She took it and gave him the unopened one. Lu Chengzhou held it in his hand and didn’t move much.
Gu Mang took a step back and leaned against the table, her long legs relaxed.
After taking a sip of water, she raised her eyes and saw that he didn’t have any intention to speak. She said calmly, “Are you not going to explain just because I’m not going to listen?”
Lu Chengzhou looked at her directly, was silent for a few seconds, and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you.”
Gu Mang nodded. “So I didn’t say a thing, nor did I blame you. You didn’t even know me three years ago.”
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes lit up slightly and he was surprised that she was so reasonable. He asked with uncertainty, “Are you not angry?”
He could see that Gu Mang held a grudge.
In return, the girl asked without expression, “Do I look angry?”
Lu Chengzhou sighed in relief, and reached out to hold her hand. But Gu Mang moved sideways and dodged him. Lu Chengzhou’s arm tensed up in midair.
This matter was harder to deal with than he had thought.
