“You have not tried it, how do you know if he can’t? If he could do it, how is it possible for him to just hold such beauty like you and sleep but do nothing?” Manman was so beautiful that even Hou Qingging herself sometimes had the desire to make out with her, let alone a man!

 Hou Qingqing’s word had almost caused Lu Man to spurt out the water she just drank. “Qingqing, you are getting more and more sensual in the way you speak. I have already told you not to write so many plots like that but you would not listen. Now a decent girl like you speaks like an experienced woman!”

 “I have never written things like that, alright? I am still a very pure girl!” Hou Qingqing made a bashful expression.

 Lu Man almost spilled her drink again.

 “Where is the wedding invitation?” She had just met her yesterday and today she had already sent her the invitation. ‘Wang Yunxi, you just want me to attend your wedding so badly, don’t you?’

 Hou Qingqing took out the invitation card from her bag. “Manman, no matter what, you must bring Big Boss Pei with you!”

 “Of course I will!” Lu Man opened the invitation. Leaving aside her prejudice, the wedding invitation was very stylish. There was also a sweet photo of the two hugging each other on the card.

 In the photo, Mu Yunhai was smiling charmingly.

 However, Lu Man knew that that was a fake smile. A fake smile that he always put on when facing someone he disliked but he could not offend.

 This confused her. If he did not like Wang Yunxi, why would he betray her, and even betray his belief in Christianity and had a child with her out of wedlock?

  “What are you looking at? Still cannot get over him?” Hou Qingqing reached out her hand and closed the wedding invitation.

 “No, I just cannot understand why he did that to me for her when he does not really love her.” Lu Man was a very loyal person once she fell in love but she would also not accept any form of betrayal. Mu Yunhai had crossed the line. So when she decided not to love him anymore, she would eliminate him from her world whatsoever without any hesitation!

 No lingering feelings! No turning back!

 “What is it that you cannot understand? Of course, it is for the money!”

 “But he is not someone who would do that just for money! You know he has never wavered before when so many rich girls were after him!” It was not that no rich girls had hit on him, he had just never responded to them. He had never given in even if he was forced to resign so she thought he was not someone who would do such things for money.

 “That’s because those girls were not rich enough! This Wang Yunxi could make all the companies in Haicheng not hire you, so this shows that she must have a strong background. When Mu Yunhai found a person who would allow him to work less for the rest of his life, of course, he would show his true colors!”

 “It seems very reasonable that you are saying this. It is indeed possible…” This was the only reason for now.

 “That’s for sure!” Hou Qingqing was proud of herself upon the acknowledgment.

 “I did not expect him to be such a person.” Lu Man sighed. She thought that Mu Yunhai was pathetic, and she was also pathetic, for not knowing a person well even after ten years.

 “I did not expect him to be a two-faced man either.” Hou Qingqing also lamented.

 Mu Yunhai used to be a very kind person. He was especially kind to Manman. It could be said that he was the kind of boyfriend that was out of the world. Not to mention Lu Man, even she and Feiyue thought they were the perfect couple and were going to live happily ever after. They were envious that Manman could find such a good man, and that her first love would be her only love.

 Who knew…

 The old saying never is never wrong. Cats hide their claws!

 It also proved one thing. No beast can withstand the test of time and a man with a decent look might not be a good man. Nowadays, when looking for a man, one would have to open their eyes wide and be very careful.

 As they were talking, the food was served. Their favorite poached meat slices and spicy chicken feet. They were steaming hot and red with peppers. They found the food very appetizing just by looking at it.

 “Let’s dig in!” It did not matter if you did not know a person well. It was useless to think about the past. Now, eating was the most important!

 After a good feast, they slouched in the chair and rested comfortably.

 “Manman, I say you better hurry up. When it is time to do it, just do it. Don’t be shy!” Hou Qingqing knew that Lu Man would not turn back. Nevertheless, she and Mu Yunhai had been in a relationship for ten years. So, it would be impossible for her to pull through completely without feeling the pain.

 The best way to forget a heartbreaking relationship was to start a new one. Once a woman had sex with a man, their relationship would develop rapidly.

 Therefore…

 The earlier the better!

 “I want it too, but I always get so nervous.” Lu Man also understood that if she wanted to let go completely, she must start anew.

 However, having sex with someone whom she barely knew, her body would instinctively resist.

 Hou Qingqing suddenly approached her and whispered in a playful manner. “Why don’t we go to the adult toy store later and get something to enhance the excitement?”

 Lu Man was dumbfounded. She reached out and tickled her. “You lustful girl!”

 Hou Qingqing who was sensitive to tickling could not dodge her attack. She laughed so hard until she was almost out of breath.

 They hung out until the evening. It came to Hou Qingqing’s mind that she had not updated the new chapters of the novel she had been working on, so she said goodbye and went home.

 1“Manman, if you need it, remember to ask me! I know a place that sells those things!” Hou Qingqing did not forget to say it again before she left.

 “Go away!” Lu Man wanted her to go as far away as she could.

 “Alright, I will go away now.”

 On the way back home, Lu Man recalled that there was a market nearby, so she made a detour. The vegetables sold at the supermarket she went to last night were not fresh enough so she did not buy much. The vegetables sold in the market were much fresher.

 After getting some of the vegetables that she liked, Lu Man suddenly remembered that she should be cooking based on Pei Xiuyuan’s taste and he did not necessarily like what she liked, so she called him right away without thinking.

 ***

 At Pei Enterprise.

 As a serious meeting was still ongoing in the conference room on the 26th floor, a cell phone rang.

 The faces of all the supervisors who were present changed. Their eyes were eagerly looking around. Who was the person who dared not to turn off his phone while having a meeting with the CEO?

 As everyone was guessing who the daring person was, Pei Xiuyuan picked up the phone.

 The eyes of the crowd widened in astonishment.

 This… This…

 Pei Xiuyuan glanced around and everyone quickly bowed his head pretending to be busy looking at the files.

 He was the CEO! What was wrong if he picked up a call?

“Pei Xiuyuan, what time are you coming back?”

 “I will be home at six.”

 “What do you like to eat? I can prepare them in advance.”

 “I like everything that you cook for me. I am not a picky eater.”

 Lu Man’s lips twitched. “You say you are not picky when you do not eat green bell pepper?”

 There was a slight uneasiness in Pei Xiuyuan’s eyes. He sighed. “I will text you later.”

 Lu Man suddenly realized something. “Did I catch you in the middle of something?”

“Not at all.” Her call was never a bother.
