Chapter 975


    Ang didn’t ask him to help her out of the car, but the SUV was too high above the ground. When she


    stepped out of the car, the man naturally grabbed her arm to support her. Flustered, she hastily.


    stepped back. Just when she was about to step out into the rain, he yanked her into his arms with great


    strength.


    As a result, her body was pressed directly against his. Outside the umbre was a raining world,


    whereas under the umbre was a small world that only belonged to them.


    Exasperated, Ang looked up, saying. “What are you-”


    The next second, however, the man put his arm affectionately around her shoulders and took her into


    the inn.


    Before Ang came to her senses, Richard closed the umbre and walked toward the counter. He


    said to thendy, “Get us a room, please.


    The instant Ang heard this, she quickly dashed over. “Two-we’d like to have two rooms. Thank you.”


    “Sorry, miss, but there’s not a room avable, let alone two,’ replied thendy. She exined with a


    sigh, “Many who collect herbs in the mountains are staying here because of the downpour, so all our


    rooms are upied today.”


    Ang’s mind went nk for a few seconds. There’s no avable room anymore? What should we do


    then?


    Suddenly, thendy looked at Richard with a smile. “Hey, dude, aren’t you staying in one of our


    rooms?”


    “Mm-hm.” Richard nodded..


    Dumbfounded, Ang instantly turned to look at him. “You have a room here?” “Why would you ask for


    two rooms, then? You two can stay together in his room,” thendy suggested candidly.


    Ang instantly blushed crimson. She quickly waved her hand and denied, “No, you’ve got the wrong


    idea, ma’am. We’re not a couple


    However, the sharp-eyedndy had seen theming in with Richard’s arm wrapped around


    Ang’s shoulders just now. Even if they’re not a couple yet, they’re definitely seeing each other. She


    replied with a smile, “You two make a wonderful couple. This dude is so handsome, and you’re so


    pretty

    Feeling bitter deep down, Ang didn’t want to argue with thendy anymore. She said to Richard,


    “Let’s go back to your room”


    Richard took her by the hand and walked toward the stairs beside them.


    Miffed, Ang struggled to break free of his hold. “Don’t take me by the hand. I can walk on my own.”


    Richard then let go of her.


    They went all the way upstairs to thest room on the third floor before pushing the door open. The


    room was very


    shabby, with no trace of modernity, even its decor was styled in the 90s. At this moment, however,


    Ang couldn’t be picky about anything. It was good enough for them to have a ce to shelter from


    the rain.


    Apart from a king-sized bed, there was only a small chair here. Standing in front of the window, Ang


    stared at the raindrops, feeling as though she were cut off from the rest of the world.


    Just then, she sensed an oppressive presence behind her. When she turned around, she saw that


    Richard was standing only a step away from her. She instinctively stepped back, only to find herself


    with nowhere to retreat to since she was standing in front of the window in the first ce. Instead, she


    was startled when her heel kicked against the wall.


    “Are you so scared of me?” Richard asked quietly with his eyes locked on her facial expression.


    Ang wasn’t afraid of him, but she wanted to keep her distance from him at all times. It was as if only


    by doing so would she be able to face Annie with a clear conscience.


    “I’m not scared of you. It’s just that I don’t want to get too close to you.” She raised her chin slightly with


    a somewhat stubborn expression on her palm-sized face.


    Suddenly, Richard leaned over to her.
