“I’ll have both glasses. Manman doesn’t drink.” Wen Yun directly took the drink in front of Lu Manman, extremely protective.

Mo Yuanxiu smiled and glanced at Lu Manman.

The Lu Manman of the past would have been touched by how protective Wen Yun was of her. But now, she was simply rendered speechless by how disgusting she found it. She was about to take her glass back when an idea struck her, and she looked up at Mo Yuanxiu.

There was a hidden intention in Mo Yuanxiu’s eyes.

Did this man enjoy such psychological warfare?!

Lu Manman’s sweet voice was extremely gentle as she cooed, “Yun, don’t get drunk.”

What she meant was that she had agreed to let him drink on her behalf.

“Don’t worry.” Wen Yun was also extremely gentle.

Mo Yuanxiu nonchalantly picked up his glass and clinked it with Wen Yun’s.

He downed his glass of red wine.

Wen Yun had no choice but to empty his glass.

Upon seeing Mo Yuanxiu’s discreet smile, Lu Manman harbored suspicions that he was scheming something.

As expected, Di Yi took the initiative to drink with her.

Wen Yun had already started with two glasses of wine, so the rest would naturally follow suit. This was a tradition passed down from the previous generations. Wen Yun drank one glass after another on Lu Manman’s behalf, eventually feeling a little tipsy.

Jiang Yiyao was the last to raise her glass.

Lu Manman really could not understand why Wen Yun would like a woman like Jiang Yiyao. She had no idea how to read between the lines at all! Did she not understand how difficult it was for Wen Yun?!

Wen Yun had no choice but to drink another glass.

While drinking, he glanced at Jiang Yiyao’s innocent-looking face.

Having kept a close eye on him, Lu Manman and Mo Yuanxiu naturally noticed it.

It was obvious to the both of them.

The lunch banquet ended.

Wen Yun really had a little too much to drink, but he persisted in maintaining his image. He helped Lu Manman entertain the guests from the other families. They played cards, drank tea, and fished, each enjoying their leisurely time.

Finally, everything ended.

Lu Manman and Wen Yun sat down on the reclining chairs by the lake. Wen Yun could not take it anymore and closed his eyes to rest.

Lu Manman was feeding the fishes by the lake when she caught sight of Jiang Yiyao, who was sitting in the middle of a pavilion across from them. Upon seeing her smile obediently, Lu Manman kept stealing glances in her direction.

It was not hard to anger a woman.

Lu Manman suddenly left her reclining chair and walked toward Wen Yun, full of concern. “Do you feel very uncomfortable?”

“It’s alright.” Wen Yun opened his eyes gently.

Lu Manman touched his cheek that was burning hot from the alcohol before planting a kiss on his lips.

Wen Yun was first stunned, and then he smiled.

Lu Manman smiled back shyly and got ready to leave.

At that moment, a pair of slender hands suddenly grabbed the back of her head. With a pull, their lips met again, and their tongues intertwined passionately.

Lu Manman tried to resist.

Her body rejected him, but she still tolerated Wen Yun’s attacks.

Drunk men tended to lose control more than usual.

Lu Manman silently suppressed her emotions.

Her heart had been moved in the past, but what remained now was only disappointment.

A while later, they finally parted, both panting heavily.

Wen Yun let go of Lu Manman and smiled gently as he wiped her lips. “You taste very sweet.”

Lu Manman smiled shyly.

She felt so shy but also so cold.

She suddenly wanted to stop this superficial game with Wen Yun. It was disgusting.

Controlling her emotions, she smiled at him and said, “Wen Yun, rest for a while. I’ll go take care of the other guests.”

“Mm-hm.” Wen Yun did not take the initiative to join her this time. He was probably really drunk.

Lu Manman got up and looked at Jiang Yiyao.

From afar, Jiang Yiyao’s face was practically red. When she saw Lu Manman’s gaze, she looked away suddenly, making her face seem a little distorted.

Lu Manman sneered and was ready to leave.

When she left, she coldly glanced past the back figure of a man.

She bit her lip and suppressed the indescribable feeling in her heart.

Take a deep breath.

It was just a marriage in name anyway.
