The banquet ended, and the guests returned.
Lu Manman left with the rest of the group. Gu Xin was already drowning in bliss. She felt that it was unnecessary to even congratulate her and wanted to just let Gu Xin be happy.
She had just left the house.
“I feel so lost tonight.” Behind her, she heard a familiar voice.
Lu Manman gritted her teeth and looked up at Mo Yuanxiu. She saw the meaningful and unhappy look on his face and asked, “What are you disappointed about? Don’t tell me you like Gu Xin?”
He looked at her and chuckled. “I’ve heard that Miss Lu Manman from Wen City is a smart woman. Why are you so slow when it comes to relationships?”
“How am I slow?!” Lu Manman was very unhappy. Even though she was much shorter, she was still looking up at him provocatively.
“I was disappointed because Di Yi only gave one lousy proposal and managed to succeed. I spent so much time, money, and thought on my proposals, but you rejected me anyway. Moreover, I feel like I’m going to lose face tonight. It seems like everyone’s impression of me has changed,” Mo Yuanxiu said as he reminisced.
Lu Manman rolled her eyes. Did he have to be so narcissistic?
Everyone’s eyes were on Gu Xin and Di Yi. Who would have the time to look at a fool like him?
She wanted to ignore him and get into her car.
“Miss Lu,” he suddenly called out.
Lu Manman stopped in her tracks.
“Are you so dense that you only realize now that you don’t love Wen Yun?”
“What are you trying to say?” Lu Manman glared at him.
“Nothing much. I just want you to love me,” Mo Yuanxiu said casually.
Lu Manman looked at Mo Yuanxiu.
Mo Yuanxiu smiled confidently.
A while later.
Lu Manman said, “Mr. Mo, you’re thinking too much.”
With that, she left.
Mo Yuanxiu looked at her back and smiled.
Slowly, his eyes narrowed.
Wait for the good show tomorrow!
…
Lu Manman was in her car.
As the assistant to the marketing director, the company had given her a private car. Her parents would be leaving slightly earlier tonight, and she would be leaving in the car alone.
It was a beautiful night.
Wen City was a famous city in the Northern Xia Empire. The bustling city was shut down at night, and dazzling neon lights filled the city. It was beautiful beyond words, and the city seemed to have lost consciousness.
Lu Manman leaned against the car as she looked out at the passing night scenery.
“Are you so dense that you only realize now that you don’t love Wen Yun?” Mo Yuanxiu’s words replayed in her head.
Did she really not love him?
It had to be love.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so loyal and defenseless back then.
But was it really as she thought, love to the bone?
If that was the case, how could she have forgotten all about it the moment she turned around? She hated him to the core now!
She bit her lip.
Sometimes, she would think about certain things when she was alone. But in fact, she had no answers for many of them, like her reincarnation. Science simply could not explain it at all!
She turned around when her cell phone rang.
She looked at the caller ID and picked up the call.
“Lu Manman, are you my friend or not? You didn’t even say congratulations and you’re gone?!” Gu Xin screamed the moment the call was connected.
