nIt was late at night, and the surroundings were quiet.

nLu Manman felt herself tense up.

nThe little distance they had between each other made this pose extremely provocative.

n“Don’t you kiss me,” Lu Manman said fiercely.

n“So you want me to skip the kissing, and get to it right away!”

n“Mo Yuanxiu!!” Lu Manman clenched her jaw in anger. “Let go of me, I’m not in the mood to do this with you. Our marriage is just a transaction, a marriage in name. Don’t think too much about it.”

n“Marriage in name?” Mo Yuanxiu looked up and pulled out a devious smile. That smile was so… charming.

nThen.

nLu Manman felt a pair of lips press forcefully against hers.

n“Mm…” Lu Manman was struggling.

nHe was way too strong for her.

nLu Manman had no way of resisting!

nShe felt as if she was going to suffocate soon, and suddenly bit down.

nMo Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment before he let go of her suddenly.

nThere was some blood on his lips where she had bitten.

nMo Yuanxiu touched his lips, displeased, and said, “Are you a dog?”

n“Didn’t you say I was a cat?” Lu Manman looked up at him.

nShe refused to bow down.

n“Then remember this: I am a tiger!” Mo Yuanxiu said.

nLu Manman suddenly paused, and asked, “Who is better, the tiger or the lion?”

n“Guess?”

n“Guess for what!” Lu Manman pushed Mo Yuanxiu away angrily.

nShe kept feeling like this man was fooling her.

nThe same thing had happened at the bar when he kissed her all of a sudden.

nAnd now, it had happened once more.

nWas kissing such a casual thing?!

nLu Manman seriously said, “Mo Yuanxiu, it’s your business that you’re a flirt and a playboy with tons of women around you. I don’t mind it, and I don’t care. But don’t get physical with me, I’m not that type of woman.”

nMo Yuanxiu looked at Lu Manman. “So what you mean is that I can get physical with hundreds of women out there, but I can’t touch the woman who’ll be my wife soon?”

n“I believe that you won’t give up the forest for a single tree like me. It isn’t worth it, don’t you think?” Lu Manman asked.

nMo Yuanxiu did not say a word.

n“I think I’ve made myself clear. If you’re smart enough, don’t disrupt our current way of life!” With that, Lu Manman turned away and left.

nMo Yuanxiu looked at Lu Manman’s back.

nGetting the art piece back was just an excuse. Of course, it’d be even better if he managed to do it—it was expensive after all!

nBut his main objective was to sound Lu Manman out!

nWho was this woman…?!

n***

nThe following morning.

nNews of the previous night’s charity ball made the headlines.

n“Mo Yuanxiu made a heroic move last night, becoming the No.1 of the charity ball!”

n“Mo Yuanxiu’s extravagant spending took the center stage last night. 31,000,000 yuan spent on an auctioned art piece, gifted to someone else!”

n“Mo Yuanxiu’s ‘domineering CEO’ type charisma threatens Wen Yun’s position as Wen City’s most outstanding young man!”

n***

nMo Yuanxiu became the talk of the town overnight.

nIt was common for him to appear in tabloid papers, but he rarely made the front page of the mainstream newspapers. Now, everyone in Wen City was discussing his ‘crazy’ move from the night before—some with compliments, and some with disdain.

nWen Yun did not conceal his unhappiness as he read the papers.
