e ate too quickly and got soy sauce on the corner of her mouth. He reached out to wipe it off for her."I'm leaving first. I'll be back tomorrow," he said softly. "If you need anything, just let me kno...Lu Jiayan's sudden attention made her feel flustered, a wave of nervousness washing over her heart. Her heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

Gu Ke's heart felt a sudden and strange tightness when facing Lu Jiayan. She didn't understand why her body reacted this way.

In the cramped hospital room, she only felt that Lu Jiayan's breath was about to engulf her, so she didn't dare to talk to him.

This... why is it so tense this time Last time, things weren't that bad. Why is it so hard to control myself now Is it because she lied

Lu Jiuyan also noticed Gu Ke's abnormality, and he didn't feel annoyed in his heart. He even felt a hint of joy.

"What Are you afraid of me"

Lu Jien again moved closer, holding Gu Ke Yu's hand, his eyes still as calm as a pond.

"No! No, I'm not afraid of you! I..."

Gu Ke'yu stopped, she didn't actually know how to face Lu Jiayan. For a moment, she was at a loss for words. The ward once again fell into an eerie silence.

Silence reigned for a while, Lu Jiayan kept staring at Gu Ke'yu. Perhaps he found the woman's constant nervousness irritating, Lu Jiayan suddenly leaned down, his nose almost touching Gu Ke'yu's.

He reached out and gently touched Gu Ke'yu's hair on the top of his head. He noticed that the woman under his hand instantly tensed up, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh! You're not afraid of me!"

The hot air expelled from Lu Jiyan's mouth brushed against Gu Ke's cheek, making her already dizzy and headachy brain go blank with a muffled boom.

Gu Ke's face also instantly turned red. When Lu Ji'an's breath came closer, she instinctively wanted to escape.

"I...why should I be afraid of you!"

Gu Ke'yu forced out that sentence, but the nervousness inside him couldn't be suppressed.

She never dared to meet Lu Jiayan's eyes now, always dodging and weaving, and for some reason, all that kept popping into her mind was the hand Lu Jiayan had placed on her shoulder at the press conference. His palm was scorching hot, so much so that even through her clothes it felt like it could burn her skin.

Gu Ke Yu didn't know what was wrong with her today. Why couldn't she calm down and face this man calmly

Suddenly, Gu Ke'yu felt a pain in her chin. When she came to her senses, she found Lu Jiayan staring intently at her eyes. Her hand had somehow become gently pinching her chin, his eyes deep and bottomless, like a black hole that could easily pull people in.

"Are you really not afraid Give me an honest answer."

"There... There are some who are afraid..."

Gu Ke Yu timidly answered. Lu Ji Yan heard this and finally let go of the hand that was pinching the little girl's chin, raising an eyebrow, his finger lightly stroking Gu Ke Yu's cheek as if unintentionally.

"Why Is it because you deceived me"

Deception!

Gu Ke'yu only then came to his senses, and inwardly cursed himself.

She was just so flustered by nerves and all sorts of thoughts she couldn't control, she almost lost her composure and revealed something to Lu Jiayan's probing.

"I have never lied to you about anything."

Gu Ke Yu tried hard to make his eyes appear calm and still, and he also made an effort to look back at Lu Ji Yan's gaze.

Although her face had returned to a state of apparent calm, the anxiety and nervousness inside still made her body tremble slightly.

This man, Lu Jiayan, is truly terrifying!

Just now, he took advantage of my momentary lapse in concentration and started to test me again. If it hadn't been for her timely reaction, all the previous efforts would have been in vain.

Lu Jiyan raised the corner of his mouth and let out a light smile, not minding Gu Ke'yu's previous nervousness.

"Oh! That's best then, otherwise, I'm afraid the consequences are beyond your capacity to bear."

After that, he stood up straight and stopped pressing the woman in front of him. He walked around the ward before sitting down behind Gu Ke Yu, casually asking a question.

"Are you close with Jiang Yinghan Why was he so nervous around you"

Lu Jiayan's seemingly polite inquiry was actually an order directed at Gu Ke'yu, and he had always been this way.

Gu Ke's resistance surged up again, she hated Lu Jiayan's tone like this, couldn't help but frown and ask back.

"What's my relationship with Jiang Yinghan got to do with you, Lu"

Lu Jiayan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gu Ke'yu before a charming smile spread across his face.

He suddenly reached out and pulled Gu Ke Yu to him, staring intently at the girl.

"None of my business If you are truly "Yu Yu," then everything about you from now on will concern me! But if you're not, then you're deceiving me, and I won't let you get away with it easily."

Gu Ke Yu nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This was a threat from this man, and she now somewhat regretted provoking him.

Now she was in a difficult position, caught between two choices. If she admitted that she was "Yuyu", she would lose control of her own life and have to let this man take charge of everything.

If you don't admit it, it's because you deceived Lu Jiayan. You will die a terrible death.

This man, Lu Jiayan, is really domineering!

"Then I don't seem to have much to say to you! President Lu, please leave."

Gu Ke Yu put on an expression as if he wanted to chase Lu Ji Yan out of the ward.

Lu Jiuyan's face instantly filled with displeasure, and he let out a cold snort.

"Are you trying to get rid of me"

"Then what do you want to do by staying here, President Lu!"

Gu Ke Yu stared blankly at Lu Ji Yan, a face etched with despondency. She returned to the bed, waiting for him to speak.

Lu Jiayan pursed her lips, raised her arm and placed her palm flat in front of Gu Keyu. She looked at her calmly.

"Give me your hand, let me take another look at your wound."

Gu Ke Yu was stunned, unsure whether to raise his hand to show him. He hesitated for a moment when he caught sight of Lu Ji Yan's slightly angry face in the corner of his eye and hurriedly extended his hand.

"The wound has been cleaned, the doctor said it's nothing serious, just stay in the hospital for a few days and observe. But... how did you know I was bitten by a snake"

She had been curious about Lu Jiayan's sudden appearance in the ward, but she was lost in thought and had forgotten about it.

Gu Ke Yu had some doubts, was this Lu Ji Yan secretly keeping an eye on her since that day

The idea sent shivers down her spine, and a wave of fear washed over her once more.

Lu Jiuyan didn't even raise his head, lightly touched Gu Ke's bandaged wound with his finger, and casually replied.

“My people have been closely watching you!” front of her, put the call on speakerphone, and asked her to come to his house immediately, saying that he had something important to discuss with her. Cheng Kexin readily agreed. 。Hearing Cheng Ke X...
