After dinner.
Lu Manman and Mo Yuanxiu left in the car.
Lu Manman looked out the car window at Gu Xin’s unhappy expression and furrowed her brows.
Gu Xin was such a straightforward person. She would agree to meet her at any point in time or place. She actually hoped never to hate her.
Her eyes flickered.
With the car gone, Gu Xin and Di An got further and further away.
“You think Di An is more suitable for Gu Xin than Di Yi?” Mo Yuanxiu asked in a calm voice.
Lu Manman turned around and looked at him. “I don’t think so. It’s the truth.”
“Di Yi is the heir to the Di family and has a bright future ahead of him. He also has his heart set on Gu Xin. In every aspect, Di Yi is much better than Di An,” Mo Yuanxiu said.
“You can’t judge a book by its cover.” Lu Manman reminded him.
Too many tragedies had happened in her previous life, and she could still remember them now.
“I like that saying.” Mo Yuanxiu smiled.
Lu Manman did not want to talk to him anymore. She leaned back in her chair, looking tired.
She was thinking about something.
She would think about some things she could not get over in her previous life, including herself and Gu Xin. Those memories were like a tragic dream, and just thinking about them made her heart ache.
“Come here.” Mo Yuanxiu’s voice was stern.
Lu Manman glanced at him but did not react.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms. “I’ve heard that you’re sweet and quiet, but I like it when you’re willful and domineering. So don’t act so pitiful in front of me. I won’t be able to control myself from being unrestrained.”
Lu Manman pursed her lips.
He always spoke so domineeringly, but somehow, it made her heart warm.
She said, “Mo Yuanxiu, will we really be together one day?”
He raised his brows and smiled silently.
“If we are, I think I’d be in deep trouble by then, so…” Lu Manman said. “Don’t come so close to me.”
Mo Yuanxiu’s smile was even wider now. He looked out the window at the beautiful scenery of Wen City and the flashing neon lights.
The silence turned into butterflies.
…
It was easier than she thought to prepare for the wedding.
In her previous life, she had been so focused on her and Wen Yun’s wedding that she had been busy for three months. She had been busy choosing a wedding dress, preparing wedding invitations, inviting family and friends, choosing a wedding venue, discussing the details of the wedding, and even wrapping up as many red packets as possible, giving as many gifts as possible, and so on. She had done all of those things on her own. Back then, Wen Yun had always smiled and said, “Manman, do whatever you want. I’ll listen to you.”
She had thought that Wen Yun doted on her so much back then.
But now, she knew that he just found it troublesome and just did not care.
But now…
Other than exhausting herself during the wedding shoot, Lu Manman had very little to do with the details of the rest of the wedding. She felt that in just eight days, even a man like Mo Yuanxiu would not be able to come up with a grand wedding. Moreover, this was a marriage in name anyway, so there was no need for him to be so extravagant. Everyone just had to go through the motions and act appropriately. When they parted ways in the end, they would not have to deal with the gossip of the outside world.
With that thought in mind, she was able to relax at home for the next few days.
Until the day before their wedding.
