nIn the quiet and elegant garden.

nMo Yuanxiu simply smiled at Lu Manman’s sarcasm. “Wen Yun just came out.”

nLu Manman furrowed her brows.

nShe had not realized it at all. How did Mo Yuanxiu find out?!

nShe had always felt that she was a very cautious person.

n“Don’t doubt me. I might be more capable than you think!” Mo Yuanxiu smiled deviously and placed a finger on her lips.

nLu Manman eyed him cautiously, evidently disgusted.

n“Your lips are so soft. Don’t let any other man kiss you. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t do anything drastic,” Mo Yuanxiu said.

nShe looked at him and sneered. “Don’t threaten me, Mo Yuanxiu. I won’t let myself belong to anyone in this lifetime! So I can’t preserve my innocence for anyone!”

nHis eyes narrowed and his expression turned cold.

nIt was so cold that she felt a chill run down her spine.

nPretending not to see it, she turned around to leave.

nIn this lifetime, she never wanted to be as head over heels in love as she was in her previous lifetime.

nMen would never amount to everything in her life again!

nShe ignored the intense stares coming from behind her as she walked into the bustling lobby.

nShe had a motive for coming to the banquet tonight. She wanted to become more active in the industry within a short period of time.

nTaking a deep breath, she entered her best state of mind and picked up a glass before walking back toward the crowd.

nShe had only taken two steps when she heard a familiar male voice. “Manman.”

nLu Manman did not want to stop in her tracks for even a second. After a moment of annoyance, she turned around and looked at Wen Yun.

nHe was in a black suit, standing in the corner quietly.

nNegative news regarding him had severely affected his work and lifestyle recently. Now that he was at the event, he did not dare to be too high-profile, but he had to attend as well, or the media would take it out of context. Now that he was here, he would have to be careful with his words and actions.

nEven when he came out and saw Mo Yuanxiu kissing her, he did not go up to stop them.

nWhat did that mean?!

nFirstly, Wen Yun didn’t care if she kissed someone else. As a man, Wen Yun didn’t love her.

nSecondly, Wen Yun’s tolerance level was beyond her imagination. Even if he didn’t love her, a normal man wouldn’t be able to accept having something that belonged to him stolen by someone else. For Wen Yun to be able to tolerate it to this extent, he was indeed extraordinary.

nHence, it wasn’t easy to push him into the limelight.

nInformation was spinning rapidly in her head, and Wen Yun was already standing before her. He was still as gentle as water. “Where did you go?”

n“Outside.” Lu Manman deliberately did not go into detail. She could still make him think that she was covering up something, and this would mean that she did not want him to know what had happened in case he became angry. “When did you arrive?”

n“I was looking for you just now, and you showed up. Who said you weren’t my angel!” Wen Yun smiled beautifully, and his voice was so nice to listen to.

nLu Manman forced a smile. “My dad wants me to meet more people over there…”

n“Manman.” Wen Yun called her name. “Don’t work so hard, and drink less. It’s painful for you to get drunk.”

nLu Manman nodded. “Mm-hm, I know.”

nShe left with a smile.

nWen Yun watched her leave.
