Lu Zhanbei nodded. “That sounds nice. However, it’s not very convincing.”
Lin Wanwan blinked. “What should I do to make you believe me?”
Lu Zhanbei’s thin lips curved into a flirtatious but not despicable smile. It really had the power to make one go crazy.
Lin Wanwan pouted. She leaned over and used the tip of her tongue to slowly brush past his beautiful thin lips. Then, she learned the way he kissed her and went deeper bit by bit.
This move wasn’t considered too explicit or bold. However, there was a kind of clumsy sweetness that was tugging at one’s heartstrings.
Lu Zhanbei squinted his phoenixes and enjoyed her taking the initiative.
At the end of the kiss…
“Now, you should believe I miss you, right?”
Lu Zhanbei, whose mood had improved, responded with a yes.
Lin Wanwan nestled herself in his arms. Her mind was in a daze, and she didn’t know what he was thinking about as well.
At this moment, Lu Zhanbei’s mobile rang. He picked up the call.
The two of them were leaning very close to each other. Lin Wanwan heard the contents as well. The general idea was that after Minister Ruan sought opinions from the management, they decided to cut off the working partnership with the Global Corporation due to public pressure. They would also be holding a fair bid.
The Global Corporation was not qualified for the bid.
Lin Wanwan’s heart tightened.
“I understand.”
Lu Zhanbei hung up the call. He tilted his head and saw her worried eyes. He smiled and played with her hair.
“It’s just a project. No worries.”
“But…”
Minister Ruan’s words were clear enough. The Global Corporation was now on Xia country’s blacklist. What development opportunities would the corporation have in the future?
“No buts.”
Lu Zhanbei placed a slender finger on her lips and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Didn’t you complain that I was too busy to accompany you during this period of time? Now, we can have our alone time.”
Lin Wanwan saw that he didn’t seem to be affected and her heart relaxed a little.
“Was this your father’s doing?”
“Yes.” Lu Zhanbei didn’t intend to explain the details to her. He simply pushed the blame to Lu Zhengyu.
Lin Wanwan was angry.
Would Lu Zhengyu only rest when his own son’s reputation was ruined?!
The news of the management terminating its working partnership with the Global Corporation and holding a fair bid instead spread like wildfire. Everyone was in the know.
Compared to the ordinary citizens, who were feeling relaxed, most of the people from rich and prestigious families were gloating. After all, this was the first time Lu Zhanbei had met a mishap.
For the past few years, Lu Zhanbei had had too many glorious moments.
He had scored brilliant achievements under the age of 30. At the same time that everyone looked up to him, they were deeply jealous as well.
The almighty and superior Lu Zhanbei had fallen to the clouds. Of course, those people who said that grapes are sour when they can’t eat them would be laughing out loud.
The Global Corporation’s stocks kept falling. Once beyond reach, it had now become a laughingstock in everyone’s life.
At the same time…
In one of the villas under Tang Chen’s name, Qi Junze wasn’t in his perennial gloomy mood. He took out a bottle of fine red wine from the wine cabinet and filled two glasses fully. He pushed one of the glasses toward Tang Chen.
“Tangtang, it’s such a great day today. Want to have a drink together?”
Tang Chen couldn’t even be bothered to look him in the eye. He sent a message to Lin Wanwan.
Tang Chen: “If Lu Zhanbei’s bankrupt, come and find me. I’ll provide for you.”
Lin Wanwan: “Even if he really went bankrupt, I can provide for him. I don’t need you.”
Tang Chen: “Why don’t you provide for me as well?”
Lin Wanwan: “I can’t afford to.”
Tang Chen: “I just need three meals a day. If you really decided to provide for me, I can even eat less.”
