To be honest, Wu Mangmang was particularly disappointed – probably because her expectations had been too high.

She had wasted her effort insisting on coming to pick him up today, wanting him to feel the warmth of love.

She thought Lu Sui would stand on her side, or at least comfort her a little if nothing else.

But Lu Sui’s attitude had clearly told Wu Mangmang that he hoped she would accept these things.

Wu Mangmang told herself she should be happy – Lu Sui was serious about her, otherwise why would Lu Jianan bother to be her bridal tutor for no reason?

But for Wu Mangmang, she just wanted to date. How could Lu Sui directly skip over this step and have her go straight into bride testing?

Her flower hadn’t even bloomed yet.

Wu Mangmang thought fiercely that if she hadn’t tested Lu Sui’s goods, even if he was amazing, she wouldn’t nod and agree to marry him.

“Very tired?” Lu Sui rubbed Wu Mangmang’s hair. Her hair was very soft and smooth, feeling like silk to the touch. Lu Sui really liked it.

Wu Mangmang said somewhat aggrievedly, “I don’t like it that way.”

Although Wu Mangmang liked showing off wealth online, she actually had no interest in banquets, salons and the like – she’d rather stay home playing games.

Lu Sui looked at Wu Mangmang’s eyes without speaking.

Her eyes were very beautiful, watery, and when pleading they showed a thin mist, like a lost child begging others to help her find the right path.

“But these things you’ll inevitably have to face in the future. More skills don’t burden you – follow aunt and learn properly. She won’t be able to teach you for much longer,” Lu Sui said.

Wu Mangmang felt irritated in her heart. She was really fed up with Lu Sui and Lu Jianan’s “it’s all for your own good” looks.

Wu Mangmang’s head brushed against Lu Sui’s chest as she flopped onto his lap, saying with a fake crying tone, “Can’t I just not learn?”

Lu Sui rubbed Wu Mangmang’s head again, like comforting an injured puppy.

Wu Mangmang hugged Lu Sui’s waist and looked up at him, “What if we break up in the future? Won’t all this suffering be for nothing?”

“Don’t think nonsense,” Lu Sui patted Wu Mangmang’s head.

Wu Mangmang really was a fool – hearing one “don’t think nonsense” she actually stopped thinking nonsense, after all this was just sweet little complaints.

Being Mrs. Lu was a very sought-after profession.

But thinking carefully, Lu Sui actually hadn’t said anything definitive.

As soon as Lu Sui came back, Wu Mangmang felt like she’d found her backbone. Her waist didn’t hurt anymore, her legs weren’t sore, and nuzzling against his chest she asked, “Did you miss me?”

Honestly, this was the first time Lu Sui had experienced this kind of clingy behavior from a woman.

Usually mature women would be more elegant and steady, with heavier concerns about gains and losses. At most, Lan Yue would gently ask, “Did you miss me?”

But Wu Mangmang was now hanging on Lu Sui’s neck like a monkey, starting to shake, “Miss me or not, miss me or not?”

“Yes,” Lu Sui held Wu Mangmang’s waist, afraid she’d strain it moving around like this.

“How did you miss me?” Wu Mangmang knelt straddling Lu Sui’s waist with her legs apart, blowing in his ear.

Women were usually like this – when you flirt with them, they play the saint with you; when you don’t flirt with them, they come perform as Pan Jinlian.

Lu Sui leaned forward to capture Wu Mangmang’s lips, saying in a low voice, “I wanted to enter you.”

Men’s longing was always so direct, not like women who liked to reminisce about the faint smell of tobacco on their fingertips.

Apart from Lu Sui’s Weibo name, this was the first time Wu Mangmang had heard him say such blunt dirty talk.

Electric current slid like a fish from Wu Mangmang’s tailbone all the way to the back of her head. Lu Sui’s hand had already reached inside her sweater.

Wu Mangmang went to catch Lu Sui’s hand – her saint script was about to activate, but Lu Sui’s hand actually obediently let her catch it and didn’t move.

Wu Mangmang moved Lu Sui’s hand out of her sweater, and he didn’t resist at all.

Wu Mangmang was caught in a dilemma. She actually particularly enjoyed the feeling of Lu Sui caressing her – it had nothing to do with desire, she just liked being touched.

But that bit of feminine reserve made her have to put on an act to show she wasn’t starved for it.

Wu Mangmang obviously hadn’t expected Lu Sui to react this way.

He was being too much of a gentleman.

“Don’t wear lipstick next time,” Lu Sui rubbed Wu Mangmang’s lips with his thumb.

Wu Mangmang moved her legs away – it wouldn’t be good for a woman to appear more starved than a man.

But although Wu Mangmang was unhappy in her heart, she couldn’t turn her head away and ignore Lu Sui, because that would show she was angry about this matter.

So Wu Mangmang still had to rest her head on Lu Sui’s shoulder and sit properly, showing that she didn’t care either – after all, she didn’t have erectile tissue that would become engorged.

Despite feeling frustrated, it didn’t affect Wu Mangmang’s sleep at all.

When she woke up it was already the next morning.

She nuzzled the soft pillow again and again, but Annie, in order to let her sleep a bit more, had already been waking her up twenty minutes later each day.

Wu Mangmang sat against the headboard. Aida was doing her hair in an extremely contorted posture while she quietly ate breakfast in bed, and picked up her phone to check today’s hot news.

There was nothing trending online, but their girlfriends’ group chat had exploded.

Ai Guoguo had sent a photo early in the morning of “three people sleeping in one bed.”

The caption was just one word: “Cool.”

This Ai Guoguo was quite the oddball in their group – she looked very gentle and had a particularly delicate voice, but her rich private life probably even Ning Zheng couldn’t match.

She belonged to the three-dare warrior category: dared to think, dared to try, dared to do.

Wu Mangmang particularly envied her.

In her own group there was no need to pretend to be pure – after all, who didn’t know whose background? Wu Mangmang quickly sent a message, “How was it? How does it compare to 1v1?”

Ai Guoguo never stinted on sharing, “Much better than 1v1. Next time I’m planning to try finding one man and one woman.”

Wu Mangmang wasn’t the only one asking questions, and they asked for more details.

Discussing this early in the morning, Wu Mangmang blushed while reading but couldn’t bear to look away.

After breakfast, Wu Mangmang reluctantly put away her phone, thinking that Ai Guoguo’s life was really worth it. Looking back at herself, she really couldn’t figure it out no matter how she thought about it.

To actually encounter a man with hang-ups about virginity – was this heaven’s way of showing displeasure with her?

When Wu Mangmang went downstairs, Lu Sui was sitting in the dining room. Seeing her come over, he instructed Annie, “Starting tomorrow, Miss will have breakfast in the dining room.”

Wu Mangmang felt indignant – her twenty minutes of sleep were gone.

“Don’t you need to adjust to the time difference?” Wu Mangmang asked Lu Sui.

“No need, I have to go to the company today,” Lu Sui stood up and walked toward Wu Mangmang, kissing her forehead. “If you feel tired, don’t go to work.”

Wu Mangmang knew this day would come sooner or later – Lu Jianan had hinted at it countless times.

This was class difference.

In Wu Mangmang’s class, women working was very natural – not aiming to earn much money, just to have a job to pass time and not be controlled financially by men after marriage.

But in the Lu family’s “old money” class, their enormous wealth was all inherited. Work seemed to be something very shameful.

Of course Wu Mangmang also understood – they were already very busy without working.

“But I like my job,” Wu Mangmang said.

“Don’t you like staying in bed? This winter is particularly cold too. After New Year you can start preparing for interviews,” Lu Sui said. His words seemed like suggestions, but Wu Mangmang could hear his insistence.

“Let’s talk about it later. Anyway, New Year is in two days – no rush,” Wu Mangmang planned to use the “delay” strategy.

Lu Sui nodded.

Wu Mangmang stood on tiptoes and kissed Lu Sui’s cheek, then started walking out.

Annie followed behind carrying her handbag. Cathy was waiting by the door, and upon seeing Wu Mangmang automatically followed, “Miss Wu, tonight is Lu Corporation’s year-end banquet. Your gown has been sent to the hotel.”

At this point Cathy paused, “The stylist will be waiting in the room all afternoon.”

This assistant didn’t dare tell Wu Mangmang to skip work, so could only hint tactfully.

Because Lu Sui had been away on business, Lu Corporation’s year-end banquet was postponed to tonight. As his girlfriend, Wu Mangmang should naturally attend.

Wu Mangmang thought to herself that all the banquets she’d attended in her lifetime didn’t add up to this past half year. So annoying – rich people really had too many trivial matters.

“Oh, then let him wait,” Wu Mangmang responded.

Want her to quit her job, want her to skip work? She wouldn’t.

Wu Mangmang’s rebellious adolescent phase had never really ended.

Sitting in the car, Wu Mangmang was still thinking, what kind of situation was this?

For Lu Corporation’s year-end banquet, Lu Sui didn’t even need to personally invite her anymore. This old married couple vibe was really strong – now whenever there was anything, it was Cathy coming to find her with the schedule.

Today Wu Mangmang ultimately didn’t skip work. In January she miraculously achieved perfect attendance – this really wasn’t easy. Since the day Miss Wu started working, she’d never won this award.

After work, Wu Mangmang led the imposing Cathy, little assistant, and Annie to abandon the luxury car and take the subway instead, arriving at the hotel at a reasonable time.

Cathy somewhat disgustedly felt she had some strange subway smell on her, but since Wu Mangmang didn’t say anything, she didn’t dare complain.

Of course privately she inevitably thought Wu Mangmang had rocks in her head.

“Did you bring my computer?” Wu Mangmang asked Annie.

“Yes, Miss,” Annie placed the computer in front of Wu Mangmang.

Wu Mangmang nodded, calculating in her mind that today the New Year event in the game would begin. Whether she could get a phoenix mount depended entirely on this week.

She’d agreed with Jiao Yang in the game that they’d each get a phoenix, then dye them fire red and silver white – couple mounts were definitely a symbol of wealth.

Riding these during group battles was particularly conspicuous. You didn’t have to worry about healers not seeing you – your health bar would stay full.

Of course she still had to fulfill her obligations.

Tonight Wu Mangmang only needed to sit beautifully beside Lu Sui. There were emcees on stage – this year’s most popular hosting duo. The man hosted a famous dating show and was very humorous; the woman hosted an entertainment news program and had a beautiful face that attracted gossip.

Tonight’s entertainment program was also very rich, with many big-name stars – it was like a mini Spring Festival Gala.

Wu Mangmang had nothing to do, but Lu Sui gave her too much face – in the end he actually had her draw the ultimate grand prize for everyone.

A Lamborghini sports car.
