Chapter 146: Face to Face (9)

It was already dark after a long day.

Lu Manman got into the car, exhausted. However, she was in high spirits now.

Going down this path would solve everything.

She felt much better now.

She stretched lazily and asked Qin Ao, “Is there anything you want to eat?”

“Me?” Qin Ao was shocked.

“I haven’t had dinner yet. What would you like to eat? You can eat something better today.”

“I don’t have any cravings,” Qin Ao said directly.

Lu Manman also felt that asking him was a waste of time.

She thought for a while, then remembered Mo Yuanxiu.

What was he doing today?

She had been busy the whole day, but that guy should have been free.

She thought for a while and made a call. “Mo Yuanxiu.”

“Mm-hm,” came the calm reply.

“Have you eaten dinner?”

“It’s nine in the evening, and you’re asking if I have dinner?”

“Forget it if you have.” Lu Manman was ready to hang up.

“I can eat supper,” he said. “I’ll wait for you at home.”

With that, he hung up even faster.

Lu Manman smiled.

Her smile lasted for a while before fading.

She attributed it to her good mood today and the fact that Mo Yuanxiu had really helped her out a lot. That was why she was smiling at this man.

The car arrived at the Mo family’s villa very soon.

Mo Yuanxiu was leaning against the entrance as he lit a cigarette. It was hard to see under the dim light, but the man seemed to have a special quality to him and was undeniably charming.

He threw his cigarette down and got into the car.

His body smelled faintly of tobacco.

Lu Manman wrinkled her nose. She’d always thought that the smell of cigarettes was pungent.

That was because Wen Yun did not smoke.

“Seems like you made good progress today,” Mo Yuanxiu said as he looked at her.

“Mm-hm.” Lu Manman did not beat about the bush.

“So you want to thank me with this meal?”

“Yes.”

“I said I only accept one way of appreciation…”

“You can get off now!” Lu Manman clenched her teeth.

This man could not be serious for even a second.

He shrugged and kept quiet.

They arrived at a high-end restaurant in the quiet car.

The two of them walked side by side with Qin Ao following behind.

The attendant politely led them to the dining table, but both of them suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Wen Yun was leaving after having his meal.

Wen Yun.

How could he still have the mood to eat here at a time like this?

They faced each other.

It was a little ironic.

When Wen Yun saw them together, his face darkened.

At this point, a woman suddenly walked out from behind him.

Wen Yan.

Wen Yun’s sister had been studying overseas. She was three years younger and had probably just returned recently.

Wen Yun and her sister were on good terms, and Wen Yan liked to stick to her brother. That was why her relationship with Wen Yan had never been good after she married Wen Yun. Wen Yan always felt that she had stolen her brother’s love for her, so she tried to make things difficult for her whenever possible.

Lu Manman took a deep breath.

Seeing so many acquaintances from her previous life, she felt a little ironic.

Wen Yan was never a simple character. In her previous life, she had suffered a lot in front of this woman.

But because she liked Wen Yun back then, and because he had specifically said that he only had this one sister, she always treated her like one. No matter how unreasonable Wen Yan was, she had always treated her sincerely and kindly.

Now that she thought about it, it was not worth it!

“Lu Manman, it’s been a while. I was planning to come back for our wedding dinner, but you found another man so soon?! My brother has been so nice to you all these years, but you’re so cold-blooded.” Wen Yan was being sarcastic now, and her voice was getting shriller. “I wonder what made you fall for this playboy, Mo Yuanxiu, that everyone in Wen City knows about? Is it his character? Or his appearance? Or his upbringing? Or his skills in bed?!”
