Chapter 90: Strangely Warm (2)
Mo Yuanxiu smiled and sarcastically said, “You know about the danger now? Didn’t you sense it when Wen Yun told you to go?”
Lu Manman tightened her grip on Mo Yuanxiu’s suit jacket. She couldn’t help but yell. “Since you knew what Wen Yun was about to do to me, why did you get the reporters there?! Why didn’t you appear first?! I was photographed by the reporters just now! Do you think I felt good?!”
“Don’t tell me you’re so stupid as to not understand why I let the reporters in first!” Mo Yuanxiu growled.
“Of course I know. I just…” Lu Manman suddenly stopped herself from saying anything.
She almost blurted it out.
Saying it out loud would probably be the biggest joke of all.
How could she ask Mo Yuanxiu to care more about her than about destroying Wen Yun?!
She couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
At this point, she really did not have much of a reaction. After all, she had just designated Mo Yuanxiu as her partner.
They were just collaborators who shared interests.
“Why, aren’t you going to talk anymore?” Mo Yuanxiu asked her.
“I don’t feel like talking anymore. I’m tired enough today.” Lu Manman turned her head to the side, intending to remain silent.
Mo Yuanxiu looked at the distance she had put between them. She seemed unapproachable. His eyes flickered as he opened and closed the car door.
It was just a small movement, but Ye Heng, who had been smoking outside, immediately put down his cigarette and got into the driver’s seat.
They were clearly friends, but why did she feel like Ye Heng was worse than Mo Yuanxiu…
Logically speaking, although Ye Heng wasn’t from any of the four families or an aristocratic family, it wasn’t overboard to describe his family as a ‘rising star’. Meanwhile, many of the younger generation in Wen City had more assets and connections than the four families. The Ye family was one of them, and at least, their status in Wen City wasn’t lower than the Mo family’s.
But the way they interacted… No, it was probably an illusion.
After Ye Heng got into the car, Mo Yuanxiu said in his low voice, “Let’s go to the Lu family’s villa.”
Ye Heng started the car.
The car was driven at a moderate speed, and it was not too late yet, so the night view in Wen City was dazzling.
In the quiet car, Ye Heng’s casual voice could be heard. “Did you two fight?”
Mo Yuanxiu narrowed his eyes.
Ye Heng smiled. “A couple’s fight isn’t a big deal.”
Mo Yuanxiu narrowed his eyes further.
“Forget I said anything.”
Lu Manman smiled.
Her tense emotions from last night had relaxed a little.
After this incident, she wouldn’t be so silly as to do this again, especially to Wen Yun!
The car arrived at the destination.
She opened the car door, ready to get off.
Mo Yuanxiu suddenly grabbed her arm, making her lose her balance. Her entire body knocked into his stiff chest, and she was about to vomit from the pain when the man above her said, “Your naked body won’t appear in the media.”
She was stunned.
“The only one who looks pathetic is Wen Yun,” Mo Yuanxiu said. “Go back and sleep well.”
With that, he let go of her hand.
All of a sudden…
Even though his voice was cold, she felt warm all of a sudden.
How would he know that she was actually very concerned about the media taking photographs of her body!
She didn’t really mean it, nor did she think that he would help her out more.
She felt that he only needed to achieve the effect he wanted. He did not care about the rest of her life.
Moreover, he actually said ‘sleep well’ for the first time. He was obviously trying to calm her down.
She looked up at Mo Yuanxiu and then at his cold expression. After a while, she got ready to get out of the car. But at that moment, she suddenly turned around and put her arms around his neck to plant a kiss on him…
