Chapter 66 - Proposal (2)
Chapter 66: Proposal (2)
“Manman,” Wen Yun called out to her in a soft voice.
The Lu Manman of the past used to love hearing his sentimental voice.
Back then, they had just gotten married when he was transferred to the capital.
They were living in separate places. She had wanted to come along with him initially, but he said that she had no friends there, so things might be difficult for her. He told her to stay in Wen City and that he would return whenever he had the time.
She remembered how silly she had been back then.
During his time in the capital, no one knew what kind of dirty tricks Wen Yun had up his sleeve.
Jiang Yiyao said that Wen Yun had a lot of women around him and that he was attending a university in the capital. There were women waiting for him there, and he did not need her company. Moreover, she was indeed ‘quiet’ in bed.
Her education and upbringing had taught her not to be as bold as other women. She thought that Wen Yun was just like her, loving the long river…
She was too full of herself and too naïve, thus ending up in this state!
How hateful and laughable!
During that time, when Wen Yun was in the capital, they would often talk endlessly on the phone.
She loved hearing him call her ‘Manman’ over and over again.
She felt that these words were a hundred times better than any words of love.
She had really thought of herself as the main character of all the fairy tales that Wen Yun had fabricated. She had thought that she could enjoy all of his gentleness and consideration!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
She bit her lip and continued to listen to Wen Yun. “I saw on the news that Mo Yuanxiu was proposing to you at your door.”
“Are you worried about something?”
“I know that you rejected him, but I still want to say this. Everyone in Wen City knows what kind of person Mo Yuanxiu is. He has no self-restraint and has countless women. The only reason he wants to pursue you is because he wants to compare himself with me. You know that I’m the same age as him. We studied together, and he’s better than me in every aspect. Now that I’m facing some trouble, he wants to use you against me. Don’t be fooled by his sweet nothings,” Wen Yun said matter-of-factly.
In his heart, all the men in Wen City were not a match for him.
If Mo Yuanxiu knew that Wen Yun looked down on him, he might have jumped in anger.
Lu Manman was still looking at the bus that was following her. She smiled and said, “Mm-hm, I know what kind of person he is.”
“It’s good that you know,” Wen Yun said. “Manman, let’s go out for a meal tonight. I’ve been troubled by the news recently and haven’t seen you in a while.”
“No need, Yun. Gu Xin wants me to have a meal with her. You know Gu Xin’s character. Maybe next time.”
“I really don’t understand how you and Gu Xin became best friends with such incompatible personalities,” Wen Yun said with a smile.
Lu Manman smiled as well. “Sincerity made us friends.”
Wen Yun was stunned.
“Bye,” Lu Manman said directly.
“Bye.”
After hanging up, Lu Manman’s gaze was still on the bus. There was a huge advertisement on the bus, and it read, “Lu Manman is Yuanxiu’s! Marry me!”
It was such an obvious proposal advertisement.
Did Mo Yuanxiu have to be so tacky?
She pursed her lips and was about to make a call when Gu Xin called.
The moment the call went through, she shouted. “Lu Manman, is Mo Yuanxiu for real?”
“Mm?”
“I was wondering if all the billboards in the streets and alleys had been taken over by that guy, Mo Yuanxiu. I can’t even f*cking shop in the mall now without seeing the advertisements in the lightboxes that are obviously for fashion. All of a sudden, it turned into ‘Lu Manman is Yuanxiu’s! Marry me!’! Is that guy so rich that he has nowhere to spend his money?”
Lu Manman’s eyes flickered. It seemed like she wasn’t really aware of what was going on. She looked outside and saw that there were advertisements for Mo Yuanxiu’s proposal on all of the large advertisements.
She had told him to show off, but he didn’t have to do this!
What a wastrel!
“Don’t bother about him.” Lu Manman did not intend to continue the topic. “Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“Just find a restaurant to eat at. I’ve been closely followed recently, so I need to find places the paparazzi can’t enter.”
“Then, come to the mall here. We’ll go to the restaurant on the top floor for steak. It’s a membership area, so the paparazzi can’t enter. I’m shopping here anyway.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Lu Manman scanned her surroundings.
She had an indescribable feeling but decided to bear with it for now.
