Wu Mangmang glanced at the door to Lu Sui’s study, took out her phone, and felt that the online world was better.

Late at night, all the women were free and continued pressing Wu Mangmang about who her blind date was.

Long Xiujuan had already started making sarcastic remarks, saying Wu Mangmang was lying to tease everyone.

Wu Mangmang, recalling now, truly wished she had been lying.

She threw her phone onto the sofa and ran to Lu Sui’s room in a huff, rummaging through his wardrobe. She picked out one of Lu Sui’s navy blue shirts and a pair of khaki casual pants, then found scissors and started DIYing.

She cut the long pants into hot pants, tied them with a belt so they looked like a little skirt-short. She also boldly cut the shirt front short, tying it in a knot above her navel.

As for the back, she couldn’t manage that.

Wu Mangmang went to the guest room she had stayed in before to shower. Poor thing, she didn’t dare go braless, so she could only hand-wash her panties in the bathroom and blow-dry them with a hair dryer.

As for her bra, she’d let it fend for itself.

Fortunately, the shirt was loose and dark-colored, so even without wearing one, nothing would show.

After Wu Mangmang sorted herself out and returned downstairs, Lu Sui was already sitting quietly in the living room with his eyes closed, resting.

Hearing movement, Lu Sui opened his eyes and looked at Wu Mangmang, thinking that women probably had natural tailoring talent.

Actually, he didn’t consider that Wu Mangmang had grown up playing with Barbie dolls – changing outfits was her forte.

But Lu Sui’s admiring gaze still pleased Wu Mangmang.

Wu Mangmang sighed inwardly – this old man Lu Sui was really fucking charming. When he looked at you intently, it was like you had attracted the whole world’s attention.

Wu Mangmang couldn’t help but straighten her back. To hide her flushing face, she nodded casually at Lu Sui, then turned to get a glass of milk from the kitchen refrigerator.

The cool milk entering her stomach helped Wu Mangmang calm down. She walked while drinking and sat in the single armchair beside Lu Sui, hearing him say, “You can sit closer to me.”

How precious?

Talking like an emperor, Wu Mangmang’s mind helped Lu Sui rehearse, imagining he’d use that bestowing tone in the future: “You may get in my bed, you may bear my children, you may…”

Wu Mangmang wiped the milk foam from her mouth with the back of her hand, being as crude as possible. If Lu Sui could stand it, fine; if not, even better.

Since they were dating, there was no need to hide her habits. Otherwise, if she pretended and acted proper, it would be exposed after marriage anyway.

“I like sitting here.” Wu Mangmang acted like a rebellious child, further adjusting her sitting position to put her legs over the armrest, swinging them in the air, then looked at Lu Sui. “Your Majesty, may I play with my phone for a while?”

Lu Sui watched Wu Mangmang for half a minute, then stood up and went to the kitchen to get water.

Wu Mangmang felt a surge of pride thinking “this old lady isn’t afraid of you,” and finally regained interest in checking WeChat.

The WeChat group had stopped discussing Wu Mangmang’s blind date and started discussing the Christmas ball at Lu Garden.

Lu Garden’s Christmas ball had been held for nearly a hundred years and had become a tradition for the city’s elite to celebrate Christmas, just like how ordinary people habitually watched the Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve.

Lu Garden – the name was obviously related to the Lu family.

It was said that Lu Sui’s great-grandmother was an English lady who loved hosting tea parties and balls, thus starting the tradition of Lu Garden’s Christmas ball in this city.

Those invited were all nationally renowned socialites and ladies, not limited to this city, so one could imagine how difficult it was to get an invitation.

Lu Garden’s Christmas ball had become an industry with a professional team behind it, though the current decision-maker was Lu Sui’s aunt Lu Jianan, also quite a formidable figure.

Every year, Lu Jianan’s charity foundation was the one that raised the most money, and the charity celebrity nights she organized were major events in the circle – no popular star would refuse to attend.

For such grand events, Wu Mangmang and others naturally had no chance to witness them. No one in the entire WeChat group had ever received an invitation.

But this year was different.

According to Long Xiujuan, she had received reliable news that she would get an invitation this year, naturally thanks to her fiancé.

Wu Mangmang couldn’t help but turn to look at Lu Sui, who was quietly reading stock market or financial information on his tablet, and felt a surge of satisfying vanity.

If she really dated Lu Sui, she should be able to get an invitation too, right?

If she unfortunately married Lu Sui, she might even be able to open the Lu Garden Christmas ball.

Thinking this way, Lu Sui’s charismatic aura seemed to shine a bit brighter. Wu Mangmang had to admit that dating a man like Lu Sui really boosted one’s status.

Super satisfying for vanity!

Thinking of this, Wu Mangmang felt that dating Lu Sui really wasn’t a loss. She’d long stopped wanting to be a virgin anyway.

Though Lu Sui was a bit older, he was in his prime now, with a good figure and looks – it would be a waste not to sleep with him.

Besides, Wu Mangmang was also inexperienced, so finding someone experienced would be perfect for learning. Her first time would be less painful too.

It was said that when women first did that, they couldn’t really enjoy it much during that period. Older men had less stamina, which was just right. If she encountered some hot-blooded young man who wanted multiple rounds a night, that would be torture.

Wu Mangmang thought of one thing after another, put away her phone, and sat cross-legged next to Lu Sui. Lu Sui looked up at her.

Wu Mangmang really wasn’t used to making eye contact with Lu Sui at such close range. Her body involuntarily leaned back, then she cleared her throat and said, “So, you’re my boyfriend now?”

Lu Sui hummed, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. “You finally don’t have to call me uncle.”

Both of them telepathically thought of the “bf” incident. Wu Mangmang felt embarrassed herself. “I didn’t know that account belonged to Dong Keke then. I said that to further draw out the other party’s identity.”

Lu Sui hummed again.

Wu Mangmang tapped her phone against her chin, couldn’t help but turn to look at Lu Sui and ask, “How did you end up going on blind dates?”

Lu Sui put away his tablet. “The elders have always been enthusiastic about matchmaking for me.”

“How many blind dates have you been on before this?” Wu Mangmang was basically treating Lu Sui’s affairs as gossip.

Lu Sui remained silent.

Alright, Wu Mangmang slightly restrained her gossipy heart. “When you saw the photo showing it was me, didn’t you think it was strange for two acquaintances to go on a blind date?”

“It was okay.” Lu Sui said.

“So, you actually do have good feelings for me, right?” Wu Mangmang pressed. “When did you discover…”

Women could really be chatty sometimes. Fortunately, men cleverly invented the action of “kissing.”

In Lu Sui’s view, this was completely an action invented to block women’s pretty mouths and prevent them from spoiling the mood.

Wu Mangmang was completely unprepared when Lu Sui kissed her squarely. Her eyes remained wide open, and she didn’t know whether she should close them.

Lu Sui’s kiss was very gentle, lightly touching her lips, his tongue tip licking back and forth.

This was a gentle and cherished experience. Wu Mangmang’s eyelids were getting heavy, and her body was starting to soften.

But the next second, when Lu Sui tried to pry open her teeth, Wu Mangmang pushed him away.

Based on Wu Mangmang’s rich experience, Uncle Lu’s kissing technique was quite good, just lacking patience – too impatient.

It was only their first kiss, and he already wanted to French kiss – what a dream!

Wu Mangmang covered her mouth with her hand, quickly straightened up and moved away from Lu Sui. “No, no, this is too fast.”

Some principles could be compromised, but others absolutely couldn’t.

Wu Mangmang had already compromised once today.

Based on her past blind date experience, even if both parties liked each other, there should be a trial period. She’d never established boyfriend-girlfriend relationships on the same day.

This was already a compromise for Lu Sui.

So the other principle absolutely couldn’t be broken.

“We just started dating, we can’t do this. We can only hold hands after at least a week, you can only kiss my forehead after two weeks. We can only consider actual kissing after a month, and within three months, absolutely don’t think about substantial progress.” Wu Mangmang’s index finger waved gently in front of Lu Sui.

“This is my principle.” Wu Mangmang added.

“I respect your principles.” Lu Sui nodded. “I apologize for what just happened.”

Uh, being respected so easily made Wu Mangmang feel a bit unsatisfied again.

She inevitably started doubting her own charm and her life.

At this moment, Lu Sui’s phone rang.

The caller was exactly the person Wu Mangmang had just thought of – Lu Jianan, Lu Sui’s aunt.

Of course, Wu Mangmang didn’t know who this great figure was, but since Lu Sui answered the phone without leaving, Wu Mangmang openly sat beside him and listened.

But Wu Mangmang still moved to the single armchair nearby and started fiddling with her phone to show she actually respected others’ privacy.

“I heard you went on a blind date today? What were you being picky about before? Now you’ve actually fallen to needing blind dates.” Lu Jianan mocked Lu Sui. “But that’s good too. You’ve finally figured it out – no matter how capable you are, you still need a woman to care for you, right?”

“What’s the matter?” Lu Sui acted as if he hadn’t heard Lu Jianan’s long speech.

“Did it work out? I heard you agreed after seeing the photo yourself.” Lu Jianan probed.

“It did.” Lu Sui glanced at Wu Mangmang without hiding anything.

Wu Mangmang had been listening intently, barely making out that the voice on the other end was a woman’s, gentle and soft, just too quiet for her to hear the dialogue clearly.

But what did Lu Sui’s “it did” mean? Why did he glance at her?

Wu Mangmang instantly had an epiphany that the other party might be Lu Sui’s relative.

Lu Jianan asked again, “Then for this year’s Christmas ball, how about you and her opening the dance together?”

Lu Jianan wasn’t asking this casually. If Lu Sui agreed to open the dance with his little girlfriend, this would mean he had decided on her.

Then the Lu family’s attitude toward that little girlfriend would be completely different – the future first lady of the Lu financial conglomerate couldn’t be slighted.

“We’ll see.” Lu Sui said lightly.

Lu Jianan was disappointed, thinking Lu Sui had finally found his true love this time.

“Whatever you want then.” Lu Jianan hung up, but before doing so couldn’t help saying, “Lu Sui, you’re the only heir for three generations, three generations!”

Lu Sui said calmly, “I’ve already frozen my sperm. I won’t let the Lu family die out.”

Wu Mangmang nodded. With technology so advanced, it would be a waste not to freeze sperm while the quality was good.

Even Boss Wu from Mangmang’s family had frozen his sperm, because the Wu family now only had Wu Dandan as the male heir. To put it bluntly, if something unfortunate happened one day and Boss Wu’s sperm quality declined and he couldn’t produce a second one, the Wu family would collapse.

Even Wu Mangmang had crisis awareness early on and went to freeze her eggs when she was twenty-four.

Wu Mangmang’s thoughts couldn’t help but wander to the combination of her frozen eggs and Lu Sui’s frozen sperm.

When Wu Mangmang came back to her senses, Lu Sui had already hung up.

“Your phone is ringing.” Lu Sui reminded Wu Mangmang.

“Ms. Liu speaks with bias, who says women are inferior to men? Men fight at the borders, women weave at home…” Wu Mangmang heard her own off-key opera singing from her phone and quickly answered.

Ever since Wu Dandan exposed her last ringtone, Wu Mangmang had re-recorded a segment for Ms. Liu.

Wu Mangmang wasn’t as generous as Lu Sui. She took her phone and walked outside, only answering when she reached the corner. “Ms. Liu, so eager to ask about progress?”

“Of course, hurry up and tell me.” Ms. Liu was straightforward.

“It worked out.” Wu Mangmang was particularly brief.

“How is he? When will you bring him back for me to see? I still don’t know his background.” Ms. Liu was a bit worried.

“Since when do people meet parents this early? Don’t worry, he’s quite wealthy and can definitely support me.” Wu Mangmang said. “He’ll be generous during divorce too, won’t shortchange me on alimony.”

This was what Wu Dandan had said.

“Bah, what unlucky things are you saying.” Ms. Liu asked again, “Are you coming home tonight? Sister Wang made you pork lung, lily, and almond soup.”

“I’m not coming back. I’m staying overnight at his place.” Wu Mangmang said casually.

Ms. Liu immediately shrieked on the other end, “Wu Mangmang, how did I teach you?!”

Wu Mangmang thought to herself: Did you ever teach me?

“Rich men are scarce goods nowadays. I’m doing this to catch him quickly.” Wu Mangmang acted very serious. “Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. He’s almost done with his shower.”
