Wen Yan felt as if she was about to break down from all the grievances she had suffered. There were unfriendly glances being thrown her way, and some of them were even gossiping. She got off the floor unhappily and left in her high heels angrily. As she left, she glared at Mo Yuanxiu and Lu Manman, who were already seated in the corner of the dining room. Seeing how warm and loving the two of them were, the anger in her heart grew stronger!
She gritted her teeth. Someday, she would let Lu Manman know how capable she was.
…
Inside the elegant restaurant.
In a corner of the dining room.
Mo Yuanxiu looked away. “They’re gone.”
Lu Manman looked over but did not have much of an expression.
“Qin Ao, sit down and eat with us,” Mo Yuanxiu said gently to the man standing beside him.
“Thank you, Mr. Mo.”
Mo Yuanxiu nodded and smiled.
Lu Manman always felt that he was a frivolous man. But for some reason, everyone around him respected him so much, even Ye Heng!
“Does your hand hurt?” Mo Yuanxiu asked suddenly.
“It’s alright. In comparison, I like this feeling more,” she said directly.
Mo Yuanxiu smiled, but it was a meaningful smile.
Her brows furrowed.
He took a sip of wine and suddenly asked, “Miss Lu, have you experienced the thrill before?”
Stunned, she did not quite understand what he meant at first but slowly understood his meaning. “Mo Yuanxiu, I’m talking about serious business.”
“I’m talking about serious stuff too.” He sounded serious.
She glared at him.
“It’s just a joke. Don’t you think you lack some sense of humor?” He glanced at her with a strange look in his dark green eyes. “Also, joking around can help reduce stress. You should be more relaxed now, right?”
“I don’t think so,” she rebutted. “I just feel that my mood is much better after hitting Wen Yan. I’ve been so distracted by the Wen family these few days and haven’t had a chance to vent my anger. Wen Yan was asking for it!”
“I knew it. You’ve always been the calm, elegant, and most sought-after wife in Wen City. How could you lose your temper over a silly girl!” Mo Yuanxiu smiled beautifully. The dim yellow light shone on his face, illuminating his facial features.
Hmm.
She had to admit that Mo Yuanxiu was indeed rather handsome.
It was a rare type of charisma that radiated from the inside out.
“What? Is there something on my face?” he asked.
She averted her eyes to look out the floor-to-ceiling window and into the colorful darkness of Wen City. She said, “Mo Yuanxiu, don’t give me so many titles. I don’t want to live off those vanities, at least not in this lifetime.”
Mo Yuanxiu shrugged and smiled.
In the quiet dining room, an attendant served them dinner.
Lu Manman did not have a good appetite these few days. Perhaps it was because she was too tired. She had been hungry for so long tonight but did not eat much. Instead, she felt nauseous looking at the food and ate slowly.
But the man who said he had had dinner ate a lot.
Looking at him with slight disdain, she wiped the corners of her mouth and was ready to skip eating.
Qin Ao usually ate quickly. After he was done, he stood behind them as their bodyguard.
“You’re not eating anymore?” Mo Yuanxiu looked at her.
“I can’t eat anymore. Take your time. I don’t mind waiting for you.” With that, she was ready to take out her cell phone to see if there was any news.
