Yang Jia subconsciously wanted to grab Gu Pan's hand, but then felt it wasn't appropriate. She couldn't involve the innocent, couldn't drag Gu Pan into this.
So she let her hand fall and said to Wang Yan, "I still have things to do, excuse me."
Wang Yan didn't give up, "I just want to talk to you for a moment."
Yang Jia replied, "Let's talk another time. I'm carrying things, and I need to get them home."
Wang Yan persisted, moving forward to help Yang Jia with her things, "Let me walk you home."
Gu Pan stepped in front of Wang Yan, "I've made arrangements to go to her place already."
Yang Jia silently thanked Gu Pan countless times in her heart.
Wang Yan still intended to speak, but Lu Ruisheng interrupted, "If you have something to say, why don't you tell me?"
Wang Yan looked at the tall and imposing Lu Ruisheng and shrank back, "Then I'll wait until Yang Jia is free to find her." He then turned and hurried home.
