Lu Manman was getting out of his control now. He had no idea when it started, but Lu Manman had started to deviate from the path he had set for her. He had always wanted to take good care of her so that she would have absolute trust and dependence on him. He wanted to have everything under his control!
But now!
She had entered the company for work.
It was said on the first day that she was so strong she did not seem like a rookie, and on the second day, there was talk of a large-scale layoff.
At that time, he had thought that she was just trying to showcase herself. Moreover, it wasn’t a good idea for a newbie leader to have a layoff. He was just waiting to watch her make a fool of herself when he heard that she had already calmed the people down from the blowout within a week. She was now working toward improving the Lu Firm’s market performance.
The uneasiness and agitation in his heart grew increasingly evident. There was a moment when he really wanted to stop Lu Manman from doing anything.
He had chosen to appear in the limelight tonight because he wanted to have a good chat with her and use his sweet nothings to win her over. But as soon as he entered the living room, he saw her and Mo Yuanxiu fooling around. They even behaved intimately in the garden in front of everyone. He did not want to cause trouble, so he had pretended not to see it. But he could not suppress his anger and thus walked quietly toward the garden after a few minutes. The moment he exited, he saw Mo Yuanxiu kissing Lu Manman passionately, even though he could vaguely sense that Lu Manman was resisting him.
He was so angry he wanted to go up to her, but he hurried back to the living room the next moment.
He was at a critical juncture in his life now, and he could not afford to make any more mistakes. He must maintain a low profile and not let anything happen to him, or he would be exposed. But of course, he could not let anyone know that he had seen Lu Manman and Mo Yuanxiu getting intimate. Otherwise, his departure would only be attributed to cowardice and embarrassment.
But it had to be said that the arrogant him was fuming inside upon returning to the living room.
This anger was directed at Lu Manman.
If she hadn’t disobeyed him and insisted on going down this path that went against his principles, and if she had protected herself well enough when Mo Yuanxiu forced a kiss on her, he wouldn’t have ended up in this state. He wouldn’t have ended up suppressing his anger and having no way to vent it!
The unhappiness he felt only made his heart twist even more. He would tolerate it for now, but he had to take revenge on Lu Manman, whom he had control over!
He firmly believed that Lu Manman would die in his hands sooner or later!
She would regret it for the rest of her life!
His eyes flickered.
He turned around only to see that Mo Yuanxiu had appeared beside him.
This man whom he had always looked down on actually thought highly of himself and pursued his woman. He was practically asking to be humiliated.
All this while, he had been asking for her hand in marriage like it was child’s play. Lu Manman did not even care about him!
“You saw it just now?” Mo Yuanxiu smiled.
They rarely stood together.
Lu Manman, who was standing a distance away, happened to glance in their direction while making a toast and witnessed this shocking scene.
Lu Manman had never seen the two of them in this state before.
The contrast between the two men was like night and day. They did not seem out of place when they stood next to each other. With their handsome looks and tall physiques, they were eye-catching. Every gaze in the living room landed on them as well.
Lu Manman looked at them, either consciously or subconsciously.
She had no idea what they were talking about.
But she saw that Mo Yuanxiu was still smiling leisurely with a hint of devilishness.
Wen Yun’s expression darkened.
Lu Manman looked away. She knew that Wen Yun was no match for Mo Yuanxiu.
Not in her previous life!
Not in this life either!
