The video incident lasted a week, going viral in Wen City.
Wen Yun’s image had plummeted. He had gone from being the ‘most outstanding young man’ of Wen City to being the ‘most hypocritical man in Wen City’. His glory days were gone, and what was even more tragic was that his promotion opportunity had been forcefully taken over by the higher-ups because of this scandal. Now, the chance that he had been waiting for more than half a year was gone!
According to the plan, Wen Yun would be eligible to take on a role in the capital once he got promoted. Unfortunately, all of his plans had gone down the drain. Wen Yun, who had never experienced such a blow before, finally had a taste of what it was like to hit rock bottom.
Lu Manman had been very relaxed these few days. She leisurely stayed at home and watched as the criticism in the comments section grew. She felt good about pushing Wen Yun to this point so quickly.
As she was sipping her coffee and browsing her cell phone, a servant approached her. “Miss Yun, there are flowers at the entrance. Please sign for them.”
Lu Manman furrowed her brows. “Who sent me flowers that you need me to attend personally?”
“I don’t know. The delivery guy said that you have to personally sign for the flowers,” the servant answered in bewilderment.
Lu Manman furrowed her brows, and after some hesitation, she put down her coffee and headed out.
At the entrance, a delivery man was holding an extravagant bouquet of red roses. For a moment, Lu Manman thought that the bouquet of roses would crush the delivery man.
She strode over.
The delivery man signed the receipt with much difficulty. “Miss Lu Manman? Please help me sign this.”
Lu Manman received the delivery guy’s receipt and signed her name.
But the problem was that she could not move the bouquet at all.
After some thought, she said, “Place the flowers on the floor.”
The young man paused. “Miss, it’s expensive.”
“If you can’t bear to part with it, you can take it away,” Lu Manman said directly.
The young man wanted to cry without tears. He placed the flowers carefully on the ground and even reminded her before leaving. “There’s a card inside.”
Lu Manman looked at the bouquet of roses on the floor and then bent over to look for the pale blue card.
Flipping it open.
“The road (Lu) is long (belongs), and there (to) is a long (Yuanxiu) way to go.”
Lu Manman couldn’t help but smile.
This guy.
She did not bend over to pick up the bouquet but turned around to leave.
A rose petal suddenly fell before her.
Lu Manman was stunned. Then, more and more flower petals began to rain down on her. She looked up and saw a small remote control helicopter spinning above her. The helicopter was showering her with rose petals in a high-profile manner.
She turned around and looked around.
Someone had to remotely control the plane.
Where was Mo Yuanxiu hiding?!
She searched for a while but still did not see anyone.
Feeling a little unhappy, she turned and was ready to enter the house.
At this point, the housemaids were already gathered at the entrance, watching this beautiful scene.
Fortunately, her parents were not at home today. Lu Zishan had not returned from work, and He Xiuwen had gone out with a few friends to do some spa shopping.
“Leaving so soon?” A familiar male voice sounded behind her.
Lu Manman turned around and saw Mo Yuanxiu in a suit and leather shoes, appearing before her suavely.
He was evidently dressed more formally than usual today. His hair was neat and tidy, and his suit was well-cut. He was tall and slim and gave off a noble and reserved vibe. He was not as frivolous as he used to be.
Had Mo Yuanxiu changed since she’d met him, or had she discovered a different side of him after getting to know him better?
She frowned as she looked at him. This man was walking elegantly toward her with a smile on his face. He was so handsome it dazzled her eyes.
He stopped half a step away from her and moved his lips slightly. His elegant and charismatic voice sounded. “Surprised?”
“Terrified.” Lu Manman poured cold water on him.
Mo Yuanxiu smiled nonchalantly and moved his fingers.
The helicopter that was hovering above their heads slowly descended and stopped at a spot that was just out of Mo Yuanxiu’s reach. On a closer look, there was a unique bright red gift box hanging from the helicopter’s stand. It was extremely eye-catching.
Mo Yuanxiu opened the gift box in front of Lu Manman.
It was a diamond ring.
The diamond was huge and dazzling. The sun was shining brightly, and the glow it gave off was blinding.
Lu Manman turned to look at Mo Yuanxiu.
“I’ve said it before; I’ll give you whatever Wen Yun can’t. So from now on, everything I give you is double what that man can give you, including romance and luxury.”
With that, Mo Yuanxiu smiled arrogantly and got down on one knee. “Lu Manman, marry me.”
In her impression, this was the first time Mo Yuanxiu had called her by her name, and there was no distant word ‘miss’ in it.
Lu Manman suddenly remembered the scene of Wen Yun proposing to her. They were having dinner together at a western restaurant, and Wen Yun had placed the wedding ring in one of her favorite pastries. It was a very old-fashioned way of proposing, but she had been so touched back then.
She snapped out of her daze and smiled. “I refuse.”
These two words were very clear.
Mo Yuanxiu narrowed his eyes.
“Don’t give me a surprise next time, or I’ll be shocked,” Lu Manman said directly. She turned around and continued saying, “Moreover, I’m not a woman that you can play around with.”
With that, she left haughtily.
Mo Yuanxiu watched as Lu Manman left. He slowly got to his feet and smiled.
This was just a show.
Everyone knew that this was just a show for outsiders.
Mo Yuanxiu looked up at the paparazzi who were leaving in a hurry.
He turned around and left the Lu family’s villa, heading for a car that was parked not too far away.
In the car, Ye Heng was still controlling the remote control to bring the helicopter back.
He looked at Mo Yuanxiu and directly said, “It failed.”
“Mm-hm.” Mo Yuanxiu was sitting in the back seat. His expression was calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
“You look a little disappointed.” Ye Heng held the helicopter in his arms as he got the chauffeur to start the car.
Mo Yuanxiu’s eyes flickered, and his expression went cold.
“Forget I said anything,” Ye Heng tactfully said.
Mo Yuanxiu leaned back in his seat and looked out the window at the passing scenery of Wen City. He did not say a word.
Ye Heng turned to look at him. He said it was an act, and he was putting it on for Wen Yun to see. He said it was to make Wen Yun lose his mind and agitate him. Then, he would use this passionate method to make Lu Manman and Mo Yuanxiu’s wedding a success…
But it was not the truth.
Ye Heng started to feel that something was off!
