Zheng Tianming had said it many times previously, but she did not believe him.
She would not believe it unless she experienced it in front of Han Zhuoli.
When she saw Han Zhuoli, she still felt that with her looks, she should be attractive enough.
It was not like she wanted to do anything with Han Zhuoli. They could just toy with each other. She already presented herself to him. Would he still reject her?
However, now, at least for now, Lu Qi would not dare to harbor such thoughts anymore.
She finally heeded Han Zhuoli’s words.
Han Zhuoli could seal her future right before her eyes to make her give up.
So she would definitely not dare to not listen to the threat from Han Zhuoli.
However, the art of pretense that ran deep in her blood was not something she could change so easily.
Lu Qi still pretended to look innocent and sweet, but Han Zhuoli could not be bothered with her already. He just got into his car and left, leaving Lu Qi alone behind.
Lu Qi did not notice that outside the Han Corporation’s parking lot, in a black sports car parked across the road, someone was using a camera and rapidly taking photos of her.

Han Zhuoli drove to Yi Garden. Xia Qingwei was a pregnant woman of advanced age. She was treated just like a porcelain doll now. Wang Juhuai and Lu Man would not let her do anything.
When Han Zhuoli came in, Lu Man was preparing dinner with the cook auntie in the house.
When she heard Wei Zhong greeting Han Zhuoli in the living room, Lu Man left the kitchen temporarily to the Auntie and went out to see Han Zhuoli first.
She ran over in small steps and tiptoed to give Han Zhuoli a peck on the lips first. “I’ll prepare dinner first. Will be done in a while.”
“Don’t go. Although I like your cooking, you have to rest for a while too.” Han Zhuoli hugged Lu Man’s waist.
“It’s nothing. I will be done in a moment.” Lu Man smiled and said, “Anyway, I have nothing to do now.”
“Then you can give me a kiss first.” Han Zhuoli hugged Lu Man around the waist and refused to let her go.
Seeing that Xia Qingwei and Wang Juhuai were both not around, Lu Man could lie in Han Zhuoli’s embrace at ease. She looked up and closed her eyes obediently.
Han Zhuoli chuckled. Seeing how generous and unpretentious Lu Man was, he knew this was the lady he liked.
She was not like Lu Qi, nor like other people.
He simply felt that no one could compare to Lu Man, as if they lacked something.
When he saw Lu Man, he knew what kind of a lady he had been waiting for.
He looked down and kissed Lu Man, unwilling to let her go for a long time.
And since he had been disgusted by Lu Qi earlier, he was even more reluctant to let go now.
It was as if she became his oxygen. The fragrance on her body made him feel so comfortable; it relaxed every pore on his body.
After a long while, he felt Lu Man pushing him gently, so Han Zhuoli finally let go of her.
“That’s for at night,” Lu Man said in a small voice.
Han Zhuoli was very surprised. He did not expect Lu Man to misunderstand his intention and bring him delight.
He just wanted to kiss Lu Man, but she ended up getting the wrong idea.
This beautiful misunderstanding was pretty good.
When Lu Man went back to the kitchen, it was just as she said, dinner was ready after a short while.
Not long after Lu Man went into the kitchen, Wang Juhuai and Xia Qingwei came out.
It was obvious that they’d especially given the couple space.
After leaving Yi Garden and returning home, Han Zhuoli told Lu Man about Lu Qi looking for him earlier.
“I don’t know how she heard that you were not going to New York anymore, but she still didn’t know that your spot will not be released.” Han Zhuoli scoffed. “She was still dreaming on her own.”
