Chapter 96: The Lu Manman You Know Is Dead (1)
“Yes, I’ve agreed to Mo Yuanxiu’s proposal,” Lu Manman said calmly. The smile on her face was especially sweet and captivating under the sunlight.
The reporters seemed stunned by her sudden reply and did not react for a while.
“Miss Lu.” One of the reporters seemed to react and excitedly asked, “You suddenly agreed to Mr. Mo’s proposal because Wen Yun betrayed you previously, or because he forced himself on you last night?”
All the reporters seemed to be waiting for this answer as they watched her quietly.
Lu Manman was silent.
Nobody spoke up for fear of losing this rare opportunity.
Lu Manman took a deep breath and said, “I won’t give a direct answer to many of your speculations. I will just say that it’s fate that Wen Yun and I have come this far.”
“Miss Lu…” The reporter was relentless. How could he give in to such an ambiguous answer?
“Everyone,” Mo Yuanxiu suddenly said and naturally pulled Lu Manman into his arms. “Manman isn’t feeling well today. Let’s talk another time.”
With that, he was ready to take Lu Manman away.
The reporters quickly surrounded him. “Mr. Mo, you spent so much time and effort trying to propose to Miss Lu and finally succeeded. Is there anything you want to share with everyone? We’re all curious as to how you managed to woo Miss Lu so quickly.”
It was such a rare opportunity, and the reporters would not miss it. All eyes were on Mo Yuanxiu.
“Marriage is between the two of us. I don’t think there’s anything I can share with everyone,” Mo Yuanxiu said directly. “As for how I wooed Lu Manman…”
He smiled meaningfully and hugged her even more tightly as if he was declaring his sovereignty over her. His pleasant male voice sounded. “I won over her true feelings with sincerity.”
“Sincerity?” the reporter repeated and then quickly added, “Mr. Mo, are you implying something?”
“It’s literal. Don’t make wild guesses.” Mo Yuanxiu smiled very happily.
Lu Manman felt that even though this man was smiling, his eyes were cold.
She did not take his words to heart at all and was just coping with him.
“Mr. Mo, Miss Lu spent the night at your place last night. Did the two of you…” The reporter hesitated.
Mo Yuanxiu denied it right away. “I can use my character to guarantee that I didn’t take advantage of her.”
“Mr. Mo…”
“Okay, that’s all for today.” Mo Yuanxiu pushed the reporters aside and carefully protected Lu Manman. “I’m sending Manman home now. Please make way.”
The reporters were still surrounding them.
Under Mo Yuanxiu’s protection, a few men in black suits appeared by her side, and she managed to get past the reporters. They got into Mo Yuanxiu’s black car and left.
Ye Heng was in the front passenger seat.
The chauffeur was a man in a black suit. He did not say a word and appeared extremely stern.
The moment Lu Manman and Mo Yuanxiu got into the car, the distance between them widened.
Seeing their expressions, Ye Heng greeted Lu Manman. “We meet again, Miss Lu.”
Lu Manman eyed him unhappily. It looked as if he was taking pleasure in her misfortune.
“Did you sleep well at Ah Xiu’s house last night?” Ye Heng teased.
“Does it have something to do with you?” Lu Manman looked up.
Ye Heng stuck his tongue out and shrugged.
