Lu Sui turned and went into the bathroom. Wu Mangmang got up, picked up her clothes and dressed again, then tiptoed to the bathroom door and said to the inside, “Then I’ll go back first.”
Lu Sui made no attempt to detain her.
Wu Mangmang sat uncomfortably on her own bed for a long time without coming to her senses, unable to figure out Lu Sui’s attitude.
He was probably shocked by the news that she was still a virgin.
Wu Mangmang thought about it and could only come up with this reason.
After all, this was indeed quite different from the impression she usually gave people.
Wu Mangmang decided not to think about things she couldn’t understand. Anyway, being a virgin couldn’t be a bad thing.
Don’t all men have virgin complexes?
Wu Mangmang’s gaze swept over the camera casually placed on the sofa, and she slapped her thigh hard, almost forgetting something important.
Next, Wu Mangmang naturally had to busy herself with exporting the photos, then using mosaics to cover Lu Sui’s face. Originally, photographing faces wasn’t allowed, but no matter how good the body was, if it was a headless man, the photos would look very strange.
So strange that Lu Sui had no choice but to reluctantly agree to let Wu Mangmang take full-body shots.
When uploading to Weibo, Wu Mangmang carefully crafted a few words: “Feels amazing! (^__^) Hehe…”
These days there were probably more perverted women than perverted men. After a moment, Wu Mangmang’s Weibo post had gained over a hundred drooling replies, all asking to touch.
Lu Qingqing sent Wu Mangmang a private message: “Who’s this handsome guy? It couldn’t be who I think it is, could it? (⊙o⊙)”
“Who do you think it is?” Wu Mangmang replied in an affected tone.
“I heard, I just heard, that someone said you’re dating my uncle. Is it true?” Lu Qingqing asked.
Wu Mangmang smiled and shook her head. Lu Qingqing had held back for so long before asking. But people like Lu Lin and Shen Yuanzi couldn’t possibly gossip with Lu Qingqing, so it wasn’t impossible for her to know the news a bit late.
“Mm.” Wu Mangmang was infected by Lu Sui – her speech was so concise.
She had a sudden realization that speaking so concisely actually gave such a sense of superiority.
“Wow wow wow~~” Lu Qingqing felt that text could no longer express her feelings, so she directly sent a WeChat voice message: “Wu Mangmang, you hid it deep enough! Amazing, you actually captured this thousand-year-old demon. I admire you!”
“You’re too kind,” Wu Mangmang giggled.
At this moment, it seemed no one remembered that Lu Qingqing was actually a warm-hearted bisexual.
Only because they still wanted to remain friends.
It was now bedtime, and it seemed most people had the habit of browsing Weibo or WeChat Moments before sleep, so even Lu Lin liked Wu Mangmang’s post in Moments: “You’ve ruined him.”
Then WeChat showed that Ning Zheng had sent a photo. Wu Mangmang clicked to open it and almost burst out laughing – it was Ning Zheng photographing his own abs on his bed.
He really posed much more seductively than Lu Sui. It was a pity he didn’t stand in store windows.
With his looks, Wu Mangmang would be willing to pay two thousand for a twerking dance.
So Wu Mangmang had to sigh that no wonder Shen Yuanzi was reluctant to let go of Ning Zheng. He was a bit of a player, but with a good body and great skills, he wasn’t without merits.
Wu Mangmang compared Ning Zheng and Lu Sui’s abs, and biasedly felt that Lu Sui’s lines were more perfect, his abs seemed more defined. If there were some water droplets on them, she would want to lick them with her tongue.
WeChat and Weibo were both incredibly busy.
Long Xiujuan @’ed Wu Mangmang: “Where did you copy this photo from? Hehe.”
Although they were all in the same best friends group and called themselves best friends, they were actually just monitoring each other’s activities under the pretense of friendship, saying praise with their mouths while thinking “tch” in their hearts.
If she rebutted now, it would show she was embarrassed by being exposed. If she ignored it, she was guilty as a thief, admitting to it.
Wu Mangmang sighed, feeling she was still too pure. She should have taken a photo with Lu Sui’s abs at the time.
“Is this Mr. Money’s abs? Wow, I love them!” Ai Guoguo from the best friends group sent starry-eyed emojis.
At this point Wu Mangmang couldn’t care about Long Xiujuan’s sarcastic remarks anymore, because the group had exploded.
Everyone was saying congratulations, although Wu Mangmang knew what they really wanted to say was: Let’s see when you break up.
“Demanding brother-in-law treat us!”
“Demanding husband treat us!”
…
Below was a neat formation.
“When Sister Long’s husband got promoted, he treated us all.”
Sister Long’s husband was Long Xiujuan’s partner, who had indeed thrown a big feast for the best friends at the time.
But Wu Mangmang cleverly hadn’t been able to attend because Long Xiujuan had treated everyone when she wasn’t in the city.
Obviously lacking confidence, Wu Mangmang thought.
“Oh right, didn’t your Weibo followers exceed a million? Why don’t you just treat us at Starlight?” Long Xiujuan joined the discussion.
Starlight, this kind of high-level private club, rarely took large parties, but with Lu Sui’s influence it shouldn’t be a problem.
Wu Mangmang calculated in her mind how to slap Long Xiujuan’s face, but to be safe, she still had to ask Lu Sui first.
So she couldn’t speak too definitively. Wu Mangmang only replied, “Of course I’ll treat everyone.”
Just as Wu Mangmang was about to put away her phone and sleep, the elusive Zhenwo Fengcai suddenly appeared: “Did you drug him?”
“Mm, human aphrodisiac,” Wu Mangmang replied.
And that was the end of it.
What a strange alternate account.
Actually, the strangeness wasn’t just the alternate account.
The next day at breakfast, Lu Sui said he would be going to America for the next week.
“Can I go back home to stay?” Wu Mangmang asked.
Although living at the Lu residence was comfortable, it required maintaining style everywhere. She couldn’t wander around in pajamas and slippers, always having to be properly dressed. Wu Mangmang couldn’t adapt well in the short term.
Lu Sui nodded.
Wu Mangmang had just returned to her mansion after work when Lu Sui’s driver called to get the car keys, saying Lu Sui had asked him to deliver Wu Mangmang’s sports car.
Wu Mangmang received her expensive sports car, then happily rolled around on her long-missed bed for a while, but it seemed something had changed.
The bed and sheets didn’t seem as comfortable as those at the Lu residence.
Although Wu Mangmang claimed to be a rich beautiful woman, she didn’t have the extravagance to spend five figures on bed sheets.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it, just that there were too many places to spend money.
Maintaining a top-ranked game character really burned money.
Wu Mangmang happily played games for a week, able to do daily quests every day, completed all dungeons, and even got an orange weapon.
She also spent money to dye her character a new rare hair color that had just been released server-wide. Wherever she went, she received attention, with a bunch of handsome guys clamoring to be her sugar baby.
Life was so satisfying that Wu Mangmang barely noticed that Lu Sui hadn’t called once the entire week.
Lu Sui didn’t really look like a man who would call every day anyway.
Into the second week, there was still no news from Lu Sui. Wu Mangmang just assumed he was delayed by business in America, wishing he would wait until she finished this week’s dungeons before returning.
This day Wu Mangmang’s game was at a crucial point, but her phone kept ringing with WeChat notifications, finally becoming constant phone calls.
Wu Mangmang could only apologetically slack off in the game and answer the phone.
“Mangmang, what’s going on between you and my uncle?” Lu Qingqing’s voice was somewhat urgent.
“Pretty good,” Wu Mangmang said, but she was actually thinking: Could it be that I’ve been dumped?
Come to think of it, it had been ten days without contact.
“Then why is he with Lin Qingxin at the Lu family banquet today?” Lu Qingqing spoke as fast as setting off firecrackers.
Cheated on by a scumbag?
Lu Sui’s image in Wu Mangmang’s heart instantly dropped ten levels.
But who the hell was Lin Qingxin?
Wu Mangmang immediately switched out of the game to Baidu the name.
Turns out she was Dongheng’s star female anchor. Unfortunately, Wu Mangmang rarely watched evening news.
“But don’t worry, uncle used to often bring female anchors from his company to such banquets for business.”
Resources unused were just wasted.
Lu Qingqing began speaking up for Lu Sui.
But that was when he didn’t have a girlfriend, Wu Mangmang added silently in her heart.
“Did you go to the banquet?” Wu Mangmang asked.
“No, Long Xiujuan went and posted pictures in her Moments,” Lu Qingqing said.
Wu Mangmang suddenly felt her face hurt a bit.
She had just admitted to having a boyfriend and couldn’t help showing off the sweet red sports car. Today she was getting slapped in the face, and by her nemesis Long Xiujuan no less.
“They’re calling me in the game, talk later.” Wu Mangmang hung up and reopened the audio.
But what followed wasn’t so wonderful.
Wu Mangmang belonged to the category of rich noob in the game. Her operation was only average, but she couldn’t help having good equipment and lots of money. She always provided potions and food for dungeons, so everyone liked teaming with her.
But tonight she kept making mistakes, causing team wipes several times. Finally even the team leader who flirted with her couldn’t stand it and said a few tactful words.
Then everyone agreed to try again tomorrow, since it was getting late anyway. The dungeon just needed to be completed within the week.
Wu Mangmang lay in bed that night, somewhat sad about the fact that she had been dumped again.
Being dumped silently like this wasn’t the first time. After all, everyone cared about face, and saying “we’re not suitable” to your face was always somewhat hurtful.
So there was an unwritten rule in dating – long periods without contact meant a chronic breakup.
Wu Mangmang had no intention of calling Lu Sui to confirm.
As the old saying goes, everyone was mature adults, so why spell out certain things?
The next day Wu Mangmang went to work to request annual leave, then acted cute with her uncle for a while.
Although Director Xiao was usually serious, Wu Mangmang was the only girl in the next generation of their family, so he inevitably felt some pity for her, especially since Wu Mangmang said it was for graduate school preparation.
Xiao Shen waved his hand grandly and approved two months of leave for her – she didn’t need to work until after the entrance exams.
But allowances couldn’t be paid, only basic salary.
“No problem, no problem.” Wu Mangmang had already listed that Ferrari online.
There were many sharp-eyed people online. Before work ended, Wu Mangmang had already received calls from three buyers.
The car being expensive was secondary – mainly it was custom-made, which elevated the status.
Easily several million in income.
Wu Mangmang called Ms. Liu’s investment advisor and immediately invested the money.
Thanks to Mr. Lu for the first pot of gold.
From now on, as long as Wu Mangmang was a bit frugal, she could barely get by without asking Ms. Liu for pocket money.
Two months of vacation, and Europe was in off-season. Wu Mangmang very decisively grabbed her passport and flew to England to feed pigeons.
This kind of spontaneous romantic behavior required constant Weibo posts.
Like skiing in the Alps, flirting with handsome sailors in Italian taverns.
Each post could amaze the fans following this rich beautiful woman’s princess-like life.
William was very handsome, a British-Italian mixed blood, only twenty-three years old, seven parts like Beckham, able to look devastatingly handsome even in flip-flops.
Wu Mangmang liked the sea smell on him, and his undisguised passion.
And this foreigner was particularly free-spirited. After meeting Wu Mangmang, he immediately quit his job to wander around Europe with her.
In Rome, they went to the Trevi Fountain to make wishes together, had coffee at Caffè Greco on Via Del Condotti street across from the Spanish Steps. They basically recreated all the scenes from Roman Holiday. Wu Mangmang even got a dress like Audrey Hepburn’s, and wanted to get a Hepburn haircut but didn’t trust the hairdresser’s skills.
On a cruise ship in Venice, William took her through the staff passage to the bow – the place where Jack and Rose’s classic pose happened in Titanic.
Wu Mangmang had taken cruise ships before but regrettably never got to pose at the ship’s tip as tribute.
This time she finally got her wish.
The photo was taken by William’s former colleague who risked his life using a selfie stick.
As soon as it was posted on Weibo, it drew a chorus of screams.
The most fun was in Austria, where William even got the kind of carriage from when Princess Sissi and Franz first met. Wu Mangmang tried many times before successfully hooking William with a fishing line.
Everything was so happy.
So much so that when the vacation ended, Wu Mangmang and William kissed reluctantly at the airport, both crying messily.
William desperately wanted to follow Wu Mangmang back to China, but his university loan wasn’t paid off yet, so he had to continue working and promised to definitely come to China to find Wu Mangmang in the future.
“Should I help you pay it off?” Wu Mangmang cupped William’s face.
But whether Chinese men or foreign men, male pride could not be trampled.
William was somewhat angry.
Wu Mangmang had a nearby passenger take a photo of her and William, posing the classic separation shot of “holding hands and looking at each other with tearful eyes.”
Wu Mangmang stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed William. “Take care.”
Wu Mangmang reluctantly entered the gate at the last second.
Long-haul flights weren’t a pleasant experience even in first class, and the flight attendants’ beauty held no attraction for Wu Mangmang.
She put on her headphones, planning to catch up on sleep, but when she turned her head she saw that the person in the next cabin was actually a familiar face.
Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land – even if the relationship wasn’t usually good, they could always chat a bit.
“Knock, knock.” Wu Mangmang knocked on the partition between them. Having stayed abroad too long, even when being mischievous she spoke English.
The person slowly removed his headphones, and heard Wu Mangmang cheerfully call out: “Shen Ting.”
