The huge dining room was filled with luxurious dishes.
“Do you usually eat so much?” Lu Manman asked.
“I don’t usually eat at home,” he said directly.
“Isn’t Butler Wang feeding us too much?” Lu Manman asked.
“I didn’t ask you to finish it,” he said coldly.
“I was just casually exclaiming that you had a huge temper tonight.” Lu Manman was unhappy. She felt that Mo Yuanxiu was deliberately targeting her.
He pursed his lips and kept quiet.
Lu Manman did not feel too good either. She lowered her head and ate elegantly.
The two of them were silent at the dining table as if they were strangers.
After dinner, Lu Manman could not sleep the whole afternoon, so she stayed in the living room to watch television. She liked to watch entertainment programs.
Mo Yuanxiu did not stay in the living room but returned to his room.
Around nine in the evening, when Lu Manman was ready to return to her room, Mo Yuanxiu came downstairs again. He had changed into a new set of clothes and seemed ready to leave.
Surprised, she looked at him and casually asked, “Where are you going?”
He glanced at her but did not say a word.
“Mo Yuanxiu, did I offend you today?” Lu Manman suddenly pulled him away.
He stopped in his tracks.
“Did I provoke you? You ignored me.”
“Miss Lu, didn’t you say that you were getting married in name?” he asked her. “So why did you ask me about my whereabouts?”
She was stunned.
He looked at her hand that was holding his arm.
Silence ensued.
Mo Yuanxiu’s cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. “Yin Lanyi.”
“Where are you?”
“I’m just leaving.”
“I’m waiting for you.”
“Mm-hm.” Mo Yuanxiu hung up and turned to look at Lu Manman. “I’m off to settle my biological needs, Miss Lu.”
She glared at him.
He moved his arm.
Lu Manman let go of him reflexively.
He walked out the door and left without giving her another application.
He left so casually!
She was fuming.
To think that he could cheat so naturally. There was probably no other man in the world besides Mo Yuanxiu!
…
He did not return the whole night.
The next morning, Lu Manman left the villa for work.
She was about to get into Qin Ao’s car when she saw Mo Yuanxiu return.
After parking the car, he got off.
He looked tired and listless.
Mo Yuanxiu seemed to glance at her before heading into the villa without saying a word.
Lu Manman looked at his back view and felt that he was such a scumbag.
She sat in the car angrily and kept quiet.
Qin Ao seemed to sense that the atmosphere was off. He looked at Lu Manman in the rearview mirror a few times but did not know what to say. He could only remain silent, and the car was extremely quiet.
The car arrived at the Lu Firm building.
Lu Manman got off and headed to her office.
Zhang Cui followed.
Lu Manman asked, “Has the marketing campaign started?”
“Yes. That’s why the division of labor is already clear. Everything is progressing smoothly.”
