The dinner had barely begun when Wu Mangmang reported to Lu Sui that she needed to use the restroom.

Actually, she quickly ran upstairs to do her daily quests – 7 to 8 PM, miss this window and there’d be no second chance.

The “restroom visit” lasted about forty minutes before Wu Mangmang reappeared.

Twenty minutes later, when the banquet was in full swing, Wu Mangmang reported that she needed to touch up her makeup.

Then she never appeared again.

Wu Mangmang had planned to play for just half an hour before going downstairs, but the game was such an addictive little temptress with endless drama unfolding.

Tonight was especially lively.

A gaming god was cheating, and his mistress was using megaphones to spam the world chat, cursing the wife for being shameless – the man didn’t want her anymore, yet she still clung to the god.

Judging by the intensity of her world chat spamming, the mistress was definitely loaded – megaphones cost ten yuan each, and she’d already used at least several hundred.

This wasn’t all – one wave hadn’t settled when another arose.

Another gaming god was making a high-profile pursuit of his wife, setting off “Orange Hearts” in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley – a type of firework that cost ninety-nine yuan each in the system mall. Each one automatically triggered a world announcement saying “XX confessed to XX.”

The god set off ninety-nine in a row.

In comparison, the previous god was really pathetic.

But Wu Mangmang was also one of the biggest celebrities on this server – she ranked first on the equipment leaderboard, yet today she hadn’t made a single splash. Her heart felt so unbalanced.

But the previous two incidents were major scandals. Wu Mangmang thought for ages but couldn’t come up with any other news to steal the spotlight. So frustrating.

The whole world was discussing the Orange Heart tycoon. Wu Mangmang cursed darkly in her heart, “What tycoon, my ass.”

If only Lu Sui would come set off Orange Hearts for her.

Actually, there was another type of firework in the mall called “Eternal Heart” – 999,999 yuan each.

When set off in the sky, it would hang permanently above the main city of this server. Everyone could see it just by looking up, and the diamond would display images of two people.

But such an expensive virtual item was obviously a scam for fools, so no one had paid for it yet.

Wu Mangmang had thought about setting one off herself, but she wasn’t that rich either.

Thinking of this, Wu Mangmang suddenly remembered something important.

She’d been with Lu Sui for so long, and he hadn’t even given her a single card!

Wu Mangmang cursed a big “fuck” in her heart – she’d never thought of this before.

“Miss, I knew you’d be here. The final lottery drawing is about to start. Sir sent me to find you,” Annie rushed in looking anxious.

Oh no, Wu Mangmang ran downstairs after Annie like her pants were on fire. Although Lu Sui had never really lost his temper with her, Wu Mangmang was genuinely afraid of him deep down.

She was most afraid of seeing that look of disappointment in his eyes.

Thinking of that night, Wu Mangmang felt her heart go cold.

If Lu Sui hadn’t come back for her that night, Wu Mangmang didn’t know what would have happened.

But fortunately…

Wu Mangmang ran downstairs panting and when she saw Lu Sui, her legs were trembling a little.

But Lu Sui only smiled helplessly and beckoned to her. Wu Mangmang ran over like a little dog.

Actually, Wu Mangmang thought she was being a bit cowardly, and found Lu Sui’s gesture somewhat annoying – like calling a dog – but her feet wouldn’t obey her.

Wu Mangmang attributed this to aura – mysterious aura.

Lu Sui took Wu Mangmang’s hand and walked onto the stage. Wu Mangmang was responsible for drawing, he was responsible for announcing tonight’s big winner.

Lu Sui wore a faint smile, applauding with everyone to welcome the excited winner onto the stage.

When that middle-aged man received the car keys from Lu Sui’s hands, heard Lu Sui clearly call out his name and thank him for his hard work over the past year, the brilliant smile that burst across his face suddenly moved Wu Mangmang.

She seemed a bit like this employee.

This employee pursued high salary, recognition, and respect at Lu Corporation. Getting Lu Sui’s recognition was the greatest affirmation for him – Wu Mangmang could even see tears in the corners of his eyes.

Others might think “is it really worth it?” But Wu Mangmang could understand him. If Lu Sui could pat his head, he’d probably cry on the spot.

Because they had all been unconsciously brainwashed by His Majesty.

As for Wu Mangmang, what did she want to get from Lu Sui?

Wu Mangmang’s hands mechanically applauded. Standing beside Lu Sui was like standing in sunlight, followed by everyone’s gaze.

Without doing anything, she seemed already loved by everyone.

But Wu Mangmang clearly knew she wasn’t a light source – she was just reflecting Lu Sui’s light.

What if one day Lu Sui stopped looking at her?

So Wu Mangmang feared Lu Sui, feared that one day he’d turn around and walk away without looking back.

Don’t think Lu Sui’s expressions seemed much richer than someone like Shen Ting with his poker face – sometimes smiling, sometimes stern, seeming like a normal person. Actually, his emotional fluctuation range was much smaller than normal people’s, and these fluctuations were already enough to buffer all his emotions.

His feelings were just that little bit – leaving or staying weren’t difficult matters.

Wu Mangmang clearly understood that what she wanted couldn’t be found with Lu Sui. It wasn’t that he wouldn’t give it, but that he simply didn’t have it. If he had it, he definitely wouldn’t be stingy about giving it to her.

But even so, Wu Mangmang still wanted to drink poison to quench her thirst for now – live for today.

When the road reached its end, she’d naturally turn back. Wu Mangmang was very adaptable.

“What’s wrong with you today – frequent urination, urgency, stomach trouble?” Lu Sui asked Wu Mangmang as they got in the car after the banquet ended.

Wu Mangmang’s face burned. What beauty wanted to be associated with frequent urination and diarrhea?

“Who has frequent urination?” Wu Mangmang glared with her beautiful eyes. “I was just fed up with all that socializing and went upstairs to play games.” Wu Mangmang didn’t lie – there was no point lying since Annie’s salary wasn’t paid by her.

Lu Sui looked deeply at Wu Mangmang, then asked, “Are you having an online romance?”

“I’m too old for online romance,” Wu Mangmang rolled her eyes at Lu Sui, but her heart was pounding wildly. How did he figure that out?

Actually, it wasn’t really online romance. Jiao Yang didn’t even have a title – they just did dungeons and dailies together. After all, more people made things easier.

“Why suddenly say that?” Wu Mangmang leaned toward Lu Sui.

“Since you’re not having an online romance, play fewer games. Be careful of your eyes,” Lu Sui had drunk a little at the banquet and was feeling slightly tipsy.

Wu Mangmang was stunned by Lu Sui’s words. Did this mean if she was having an online romance, she could play more games? If she didn’t play less, then she was having an online romance?

Wu Mangmang thought this man’s way of speaking was really something else.

The next day was Wu Mangmang’s company’s year-end party day. It was her turn to watch the leaders draw prizes for her.

Unfortunately, Wu Mangmang’s luck was poor. In the end, she only got a prize everyone received – a pack of tissues.

Wu Mangmang was still carrying the tissues when she hadn’t even left the cafeteria before receiving a call from Long Xiujuan.

The girlfriends’ group also needed a year-end gathering, right?

Wu Mangmang called Lu Sui to ask for permission. Lu Sui only said, “Don’t play too late.”

Wu Mangmang had just sat down in the private room when Ai Guoguo and Lu Qingqing pushed the door open. Both were glowing, clearly just out of bed.

“Guoguo, where did you go to have fun today?” Long Xiujuan asked.

Ai Guoguo and Lu Qingqing exchanged smiles. “Didn’t I tell you last time I wanted to try one king and two queens?”

Everyone immediately started making noise.

Wu Mangmang also learned quite a lot.

Ai Guoguo came over to sit next to Wu Mangmang. “Mangmang, when are you bringing your Mr. Lu out to play?”

Ever since seeing Mr. Lu’s abs photo, Ai Guoguo’s desire to sleep with Mr. Lu was known to everyone.

“Look at your haggard little face. Is Mr. Lu very fierce?” Ai Guoguo was really adding insult to injury for Wu Mangmang.

Wu Mangmang felt Lu Sui was wasting his mermaid lines. Yesterday when he was slightly drunk, he still didn’t lose control.

After New Year, Wu Mangmang would be twenty-six in nominal age, and she hadn’t even given away her hymen. In the group, she still had to pretend she’d experienced everything and had to brag about Lu Sui’s duration.

The three words “old virgin” were depressing just to think about.

Wu Mangmang drank some alcohol at the club and belted out a few songs. When she saw Lu Sui’s call, she was too lazy to answer – it would just be those same cold, bland sentences anyway.

But because she couldn’t grab the microphone, Wu Mangmang felt there wasn’t much fun here, so she got up to leave.

In the corner, Lu Qingqing was kissing Ai Guoguo. Seeing Wu Mangmang get up, she just glanced over coolly.

Wu Mangmang said goodbye to everyone, grabbed her coat and walked out.

Wu Mangmang’s Hummer was parked in the parking lot at the intersection ahead. Because the club was an old establishment, the original parking lot wasn’t sufficient, so they later rented another one. Wu Mangmang arrived late so naturally could only park in the more distant new parking lot.

After walking a short distance, Wu Mangmang saw someone causing trouble across the street.

Two blonde punks with killer hairstyles were surrounding Ning Zheng, who was holding a red-haired woman wearing black stockings and a super short skirt in the dead of winter.

Wu Mangmang really couldn’t conscientiously call her a beauty. She shook her head and was about to leave.

Then she saw the three blondes punching and kicking Ning Zheng. Ning Zheng fought back with a few punches but seemed unsteady on his feet – he must be drunk.

Come to think of it, he’d have to be drunk to fancy that kind of woman.

Wu Mangmang hesitated for a minute. In just that minute, Ning Zheng was already beaten to the ground.

Wu Mangmang lifted her foot and ran over. Without thinking, using the momentum from her run, she flew up with a kick.

No other reason – she just wanted to fight.

The two blondes completely didn’t expect someone would dare to pluck hair from a tiger’s head. Without thinking, they struck at Wu Mangmang, no longer caring that she was a beauty.

A beauty was even better – they could take advantage while fighting.

Although Wu Mangmang was formidable, two fists couldn’t match four hands. Fortunately, Ning Zheng saw Wu Mangmang coming over and shakily stood up holding onto the car, helping her block a few hits.

The two blondes couldn’t gain the upper hand, but they’d seen the drunk’s wallet and now thought this little lady Wu Mangmang was beautifully tempting. The two exchanged glances, ignored the woman in the super short skirt, and ran off like smoke.

Wu Mangmang reached out to help Ning Zheng who was slumped over the hood, but Ning Zheng slapped her hand away. “Get lost, don’t touch me.”

Wu Mangmang stamped her foot in anger. She was really being a meddling dog with a mouse. But Wu Mangmang also had a temper – she turned to leave.

But before she’d taken half a step, Ning Zheng grabbed her back. “Do you really look down on me that much?”

Wu Mangmang knew something about him and Shen Yuanzi. Seeing Ning Zheng’s current stupid state, she already understood.

“Yes,” Wu Mangmang answered straightforwardly. “Who are you putting on this act for? You chose this path – even if it’s shit, you have to lick it like it’s cake.”

Probably Wu Mangmang’s description was too disgusting. Ning Zheng decisively vomited.

Fortunately Wu Mangmang jumped quickly – only her shoe tops got splashed.

The woman in the super short skirt across the way was more pitiful – her thighs were covered, and she let out a piercing scream.

But actually this piercing scream wasn’t directed at what Ning Zheng had vomited, but at the three blondes behind Wu Mangmang holding cleavers.

Ning Zheng pushed Wu Mangmang away. Wu Mangmang fell to the ground unprepared – her elbow definitely scraped off skin.

This time there was an extra blonde with a cleaver. Ning Zheng was no match at all. Wu Mangmang shouted at the still-screaming woman, “Call the police!”

“Mr. Lu!” The black sedan had just turned the corner into the street when the driver saw a heart-stopping scene.

Lu Sui turned his head to see Wu Mangmang tackle Ning Zheng, taking a knife blow for him.

The driver had already gotten out of the car, rushing over in three steps and knocking out the three little blondes with one punch each.

This was the physique of a professional bodyguard.

Wu Mangmang lay on the treatment table, sneakily stealing glances at Lu Sui who was talking with the doctor.

Her injury wasn’t serious. She wasn’t stupid – when she pushed Ning Zheng away, she’d already assessed the situation. If Ning Zheng had taken that knife, half his stomach would definitely be slashed open. But she went prepared – not only was her coat thick, she’d also sucked in her stomach and curled her tailbone. At most it would be a flesh wound.

But the driver and Lu Sui’s appearance was too coincidental. Wu Mangmang actually didn’t want Lu Sui to see her fighting.

But fortunately Lu Sui came, otherwise Wu Mangmang didn’t know if she could have survived intact. That woman in the super short skirt was really useless – she only knew how to cry.

Ning Zheng’s injuries were more serious – he was sent for “emergency treatment.”

Wu Mangmang cried out in pain a few times in the ambulance, but Lu Sui completely ignored her. His face was just one word – cold, frozen into ice chips.

But Wu Mangmang was actually a bit happy inside. She probably had masochistic tendencies.

After Lu Sui finished talking with the doctor, Wu Mangmang turned her head to look at him pitifully. “I won’t have scars, will I? Then I won’t be able to wear backless dresses or bikinis.”

“The plastic surgeon will be here soon,” Lu Sui said.

If ordinary doctors sutured wounds and their technique wasn’t good, it would easily leave scars. But plastic surgeons were different. Wu Mangmang felt much more at ease hearing this.

Had to say, Lu Sui was reliable in handling matters.

Because Wu Mangmang’s performance was a bit exaggerated – seeming like the slightest movement would aggravate her wound and fearing further tearing would leave scars – she was transported back to the Lu mansion by helicopter and stretcher.

This led Old Peter and Annie to think she was seriously injured or even disabled. After they carefully inquired about Wu Mangmang’s condition with cautious expressions, they all showed a kind of “did I hear that right?” shock.

As for Lu Sui, before getting home he acted quite like a qualified boyfriend, but once home he immediately turned cold, just dropping “Annie, take good care of her” before going upstairs to rest.

Lu Sui’s schedule was very regular. Tonight was already far past his usual bedtime.

Everyone was tired from the whole evening. It was reasonable for him to want to rest.

Wu Mangmang struggled in the bathroom for most of the night before finally getting herself clean. Aida yawned while blow-drying her hair.

Life as a capitalist’s wife was blissful.

Wu Mangmang lay in bed for a while but couldn’t fall asleep even counting sheep. She had to struggle to get up, cross the corridor and knock on Lu Sui’s door opposite.

“Lu Sui, Lu Sui.” After knocking with no response, Wu Mangmang called out softly twice.

Just thinking Lu Sui was probably asleep but unwilling to give up, she worked up her emotions and knocked twice more, choking up, “Lu Sui, I had a nightmare. My wound hurts and I can’t sleep.”

Still no movement. Wu Mangmang yawned – she seemed a bit sleepy again. Just as she was about to turn around, the door opened.

Wu Mangmang was an expert at playing pitiful. She reached out to grab Lu Sui’s pajamas and pressed her face against him. “I’m scared.”

“I’ll have Annie come keep you company,” Lu Sui gently pushed Wu Mangmang’s shoulders away.

Considering her wound, Wu Mangmang didn’t dare use force. She lowered her head and said quietly, “I want to sleep with you. I’m scared. If you hadn’t come today, I…”

Wu Mangmang this little white lotus had really perfected her act, thus successfully climbing into Lu Sui’s bed.

Lu Sui lay on his side with his back to Wu Mangmang, breathing evenly and deeply.

Wu Mangmang lay behind him with wide eyes, recalling when Lu Sui examined her wounds and held her face, saying, “Why didn’t they beat you into a pig’s head?”

Being angry was a good thing!

Wu Mangmang nuzzled Lu Sui’s back with her face, saying in an overly heroine-like tone, “I know you’re angry with me for not putting my safety first. The injury is on my body, but the pain is in your heart. When you’re angry about my reckless actions, I didn’t consider your feelings. If I just left like this, what would happen to the rest of your life, right?”

Wu Mangmang also pressed her hand to Lu Sui’s back, breathing delicately, “Sui, this is all my fault. Don’t be angry with me, okay? When you’re angry with me, my heart feels like it’s being stabbed with a knife. Hit me, scold me, okay? Just don’t ignore me.”
