Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing - Chapter 89
Chapter 89: Strangely Warm (1)
“Please take me home. Thank you,” Lu Manman said impatiently.
Mo Yuanxiu’s expression went stiff, and he suddenly smiled, though it gave off a chilly vibe. His thin lips quivered, and he slowly said in a low voice, “Miss Lu, what’s our relationship?”
Lu Manman fell silent.
She had never dared to underestimate Mo Yuanxiu. When she first approached him for collaboration, she had also made up her mind to have a life-long battle of wits and courage with this man. But now, he was asking her about their relationship.
She pursed her lips and looked at him directly. “You called me Miss Lu. What do you think our relationship is?”
“I thought you weren’t that stupid,” Mo Yuanxiu said coldly.
Lu Manman was triggered, and her expression shifted. “What are you trying to say?!”
“Aren’t you an idiot for not knowing what Wen Yun was up to? Why else would he call to meet you alone?” He narrowed his eyes.
“I guessed it, and I tried my best to be careful. I really didn’t expect Wen Yun to force himself onto me.” Lu Manman suppressed her anger and explained.
Mo Yuanxiu squinted at her. “Or perhaps, it’s not that you couldn’t guess it, but that you wanted to test his sincerity toward you? Then again, Miss Lu, I’ve played with you for so long. Would you suddenly clap your hands and tell me that you and Wen Yun were just playing house in your relationship?”
“Then, you should know by now that we can’t live like this anymore!” Lu Manman said.
Mo Yuanxiu’s expression remained the same. It was as if he could remain calm and collected no matter what she said.
She continued saying, “Mo Yuanxiu, I’ve always been curious. How did you know what Wen Yun was doing to me? How did you know that I was meeting Wen Yun tonight?”
“Are you questioning me now?!”
“Since this is a collaboration, it’s best that we both make ourselves clear,” Lu Manman said angrily.
Mo Yuanxiu looked at her coldly. “That’s because when you asked me to get someone to follow Wen Yun the last time, I forgot to tell that person to stop following him. That’s why I’m still very clear about Wen Yun’s every move.”
“I don’t think you’d forget,” Lu Manman said sarcastically.
“Is this how you should treat me after I saved you tonight?!” Mo Yuanxiu looked up.
“Otherwise, do you think I should give myself to you?” Lu Manman had not been in a good mood all this while, and her words were getting increasingly provocative.
After being bullied by Wen Yun tonight, she was already unhappy, and now, she was being mocked by Mo Yuanxiu. It wasn’t just sarcasm, but she also understood something. Mo Yuanxiu had never really trusted her from the start. By tailing Wen Yun, he was also tailing her indirectly. As long as she met Wen Yun, he would be clear about their every move and would be the first to know if she really fell out with Wen Yun.
All of a sudden, she realized that ever since she’d told him about collaboration, she had needed to take things one step at a time.
“Give yourself to me?” The cold, raspy, and magnetic voice sounded by her ear.
Seeing the evil smile on Mo Yuanxiu’s face, her heart tightened.
She was just saying it casually.
It was revengeful and ironic.
“Mo Yuanxiu, I don’t want you to be the second Wen Yun,” Lu Manman said as calmly as she could.
There were only the two of them in the car, whereas Ye Heng was standing outside. Even if she screamed her lungs out, that man would not come to her rescue. Hence, she could only protect herself.
