Lu Jingchen changed his expression with the speed of a Beijing Opera face-change, now looking completely like a sycophantic lackey.
Li Manman walked over to Lu Jingchen with her arms crossed, tapping her polished fingernails lightly on her fair arm. After pondering, she slowly opened her mouth: "How about you slap yourself a few times, if my anger subsides, I’ll forgive you."
Lu Jingchen’s eyes were filled with suppressed anger, but he didn’t dare to refuse because Li Shitian was not someone he could afford to offend.
Lu Jingchen raised his arm and slapped himself in the face, accompanied by a feeling of shame. After slapping more than ten times, Li Manman finally called a stop.
The onlookers around laughed and cheered, some even whistling.
Lu Jingchen left in humiliation with his group, and once inside the car, his vicious eyes were filled with malicious light, a grudge he would surely avenge one day.
Not long after Lu Jingchen left, Lu Jinghan arrived. He parked the car at the bar’s entrance and walked inside.
Inside the bar, Li Manman and Han Xi were seated on the same sofa as earlier, with Feng Yi sitting opposite them. Li Manman’s eyes were almost glued to Feng Yi.
How come she never noticed before that this man was so handsome?
Feng Yi was dressed in an immaculate dark blue suit today, his tie under the white shirt slightly askew. His clean, fair face radiated sharp and stern features, with thick black short hair under his strong brows.
Han Xi surreptitiously nudged Li Manman with her elbow, and mouthed to her: "Be more reserved."
Li Manman smiled subtly and leaned towards Han Xi’s ear, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Am I that obvious?"
Before Han Xi could respond, Lu Jinghan approached them. He didn’t sit down, instead extending his hand towards Han Xi. Han Xi smiled lightly and placed her small hand in Lu Jinghan’s palm, then stood up from the sofa and moved to his side.
"It’s getting late, let’s go home."
Lu Jinghan was mainly concerned about Han Xi feeling unwell due to her period, and having worked all day, he wanted her to go home for a good rest.
Han Xi nodded and then looked at Li Manman: "Manman, are you driving yourself home or would you like to ride with us?"
Li Manman put down the cocktail in her hand, glanced at the man sitting opposite and spoke briskly: "Feng Yi, could you give me a ride home?"
Being named, Feng Yi calmly lifted his head without any change in his stern expression: "Miss Li seems to have driven herself here, right?"
Li Manman nodded seriously and then nonsensically said: "But my car broke down, could you give me a lift?"
Han Xi felt embarrassed for Li Manman, thinking she didn’t need to be so blunt about wooing someone, it’s important to be a bit more reserved.
Claiming her car broke down, she really was quite capable of fibbing.
Feng Yi wasn’t foolish, naturally understanding Li Manman’s intention, he frowned slightly and smiled: "Sorry Miss Li, my car is also broken, maybe you should ride with Jing Han’s car."
Li Manman wasn’t angry, her dark eyes subtly signaled Han Xi, who sighed understandingly and then tugged at Lu Jinghan’s sleeve with her fingers.
Lu Jinghan of course understood what his wife meant, he smiled and, embracing Han Xi’s shoulders, drew her closer and helplessly said: "Sorry, I’m not going the same way, Feng Yi, you should find a way to take Li Manman home."
