It was a luxurious dining room with glass panels all around.
Holding her cell phone, she suddenly lost interest in the news that had broken out this morning.
She didn’t even need to think about what the news said. She knew what Mo Yuanxiu meant.
Wen Yun had probably never expected to be in such a sorry state one day.
She was silent when her cell phone rang.
There were two words on the screen: Wen Yun.
She picked up the call, wondering what this man had to say to her.
It was the reason why she picked up.
“Manman, where are you?” Wen Yun’s agitated voice came from the other end.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, not wanting to answer him.
“You weren’t home last night?” Wen Yun seemed to be blaming her.
Blaming her?!
He couldn’t kill her, so he came to scold her for not staying there well so that he could kill her easily!
She found it a little funny, but thankfully, she did not laugh out loud. She calmly asked, “How would you know that I wasn’t home last night?”
“I…” He seemed to pause for a while and then said, “I called your parents, and they said that you didn’t stay over last night. Where did you go? I’m worried if you disappear all of a sudden.”
“I’m alright now. Don’t worry.” Lu Manman seemed to have lost a lot of warmth.
“Are you angry about what happened last night?”
“I just want some peace and quiet.”
“I was drunk last night and only realized I let you down when I regained consciousness. Manman, the media is making things difficult for me now.”
“Oh,” Lu Manman replied.
Wen Yun seemed to be at a loss for words after hearing Lu Manman’s indifferent response. A while later, he finally asked, “Manman, you’re really angry?”
“It’s alright.”
“Can you do me a favor?” Wen Yun asked. He felt that it was impossible for Lu Manman to be proactive as usual and thus decided to be direct.
“What?”
“I need you to help me tell the media that we are in love with each other and that I’m not the type that would force you to have sex with me in such a lowly and vile manner in order to get hold of you. Manman, you know that I’m not that type of person. I simply love you so much that I lost control last night. You will forgive me and help me, right? I swear that I will only love you in this lifetime, and I really don’t want to see you get hurt in any way. I will be good to you for the rest of my life!” Wen Yun said agitatedly.
Lu Manman found it ironic.
She smiled and agreed. “Alright.”
“Did you agree?”
“Mm-hm,” Lu Manman said.
“Then, where are you now? I’ll come get you. It’s best if we appear in front of the media now to deny this,” Wen Yun said anxiously, afraid that she would go back on her word.
Moreover, Lu Manman had been clumsy in front of the media the last few times. This time, he was afraid that she would cause trouble again!
Lu Manman looked out the window at the radiant sun and fell silent for a while.
“Manman?” Wen Yun waited impatiently and then carefully called her name.
“If I say where I am now, does that mean that my corpse will appear before you in the next moment?” Lu Manman said calmly, word by word.
He was stunned, seemingly very shocked. “Manman, what are you saying?”
“Wen Yun, our superficial relationship is over,” Lu Manman said.
“Manman, what are you saying? I don’t understand what you’re saying! Do you hate me that much because I forced myself on you last night?! I swear I won’t do something like this again! Trust me!”
“If you like acting, then continue. Forgive me, but I can’t accompany you anymore!” Lu Manman hung up.
That was all.
Enough was enough.
She’d tolerated enough!
She turned around and saw Mo Yuanxiu coming in from upstairs. He had changed into a black suit and white shirt and was looking down at her elegantly. His lips moved as he asked, “Have you considered it carefully, Miss Lu?”
“I’ve said it before. There’s no need to consider it.”
Mo Yuanxiu smiled. “The second room on the right has ladies’ clothes and makeup inside. I’ll give you half an hour, then I’ll take you out of here.”
Lu Manman looked at him, wondering what he was thinking about. She then looked down at her inappropriate clothes and headed upstairs.
She actually found it strange that there was such a huge female bedroom in Mo Yuanxiu’s villa. The clothes in the bedroom were neat, and the makeup and accessories were dazzling.
So Mo Yuanxiu often spent the night with women?!
Lu Manman did not show much emotion. She picked a black dress and put on some light makeup.
Twenty-five minutes later, she appeared before him.
He did not even spare her a glance or comment on her dressing and simply held her hand.
Lu Manman shook it off as if she was against it.
He looked at her guarded expression. “Miss Lu, there are reporters outside the door. Are you sure we should maintain such a distance?”
She glared at him.
“I don’t want to take up too much of my time.” Mo Yuanxiu explained.
Lu Manman shoved her hand into his, and they intertwined their fingers before leaving.
The reporters were already gathered at the entrance.
Seeing Mo Yuanxiu and Lu Manman appear at the same time, the crowd went wild.
“Mr. Mo and Miss Lu appeared at Mr. Mo’s place together. Have you confirmed your relationship?”
“Miss Lu, regarding Wen Yun forcing you to have sex last night, could you share with me your feelings?”
“Miss Lu, the news about you has been going viral recently. This is your first time facing a reporter. Is there something you want to say?”
Lu Manman and Mo Yuanxiu appeared calm as the questions bombarded them.
At this point, Lu Manman’s hand was still being held by Mo Yuanxiu. She smiled slightly and plainly said, “Yes, I’ve agreed to Mo Yuanxiu’s proposal.”
