Seven years later…
“Miss Lu, you look captivating in that wedding gown. It’s as if that wedding gown is made especially for you!” The employee in the bridal gown shop stared at Lu Man with astonishment.
“This is too much. It’s too sexy.” That wedding gown was indeed beautiful. Lu Man loved it. But, she looked at her revealing chest. It was way too sexy!
“Miss Lu, a wedding is only once in a lifetime. Why don’t you want to look sexy? You’re dazzling in that dress. It’s much better than any of the dresses you have tried on just now!”
“Wait for my fiancé to come and take a look at it first.” Her future husband was quite old fashioned. She did not want him to be moody during the wedding.
“Miss Lu, please take a seat here.” The employee led Lu Man to the resting area. Then, she poured Lu Man a glass of water before leaving to complete her work.
Lu Man waited patiently until late at night but still, the man she was waiting for did not come. She took out her phone and checked the time. It was seven o’clock in the evening. They had promised to meet each other at half-past five.
She called Mu Yunhai. But, he did not pick up the phone. So, she messaged him instead. “I’m at the wedding shop. When will you come? Reply to my message.”
She waited another half an hour but still, Mu Yunhai was nowhere in sight. He did not even reply to her message.
This kind of situation had happened before. There might be a sudden meeting in his office and he would not be able to pick up the phone or he might have forgotten to bring his phone with him when he was in a rush.
Lu Man stood up and took a few selfies in front of the mirror. Luckily, she had snapped every wedding gown she tried on just now. He did not have time to come to the bridal gown shop. She could show him her selfies when she went home. There was no difference.
She heard people arguing when she was getting ready to go and was changing into her own clothes in the changing room. It sounded like Mu Yunhai.
She looked up, instinctively.
She saw that Mu Yunhai was approaching the bridal gown shop while entangled in a push-and-pull fight with a woman.
“Wang Yunxi, go back now!” Mu Yunhai grabbed onto that woman’s shoulder. His handsome face darkened. Lu Man had never seen that kind of expression on his face.
“I don’t want to leave!” Wang Yunxi replied, arrogantly.
Lu Man approached them. “What’s wrong, Yunhai?”
Mu Yunhai gazed at Lu Man with mixed feelings. But, it soon faded away and nobody saw that.
“Are you Lu Man?” Wang Yunxi asked her, sarcastically. She even scanned her from top to bottom contemptuously.
Lu Man was unhappy about that. She straightened her body subconsciously. Her facial expression was cold. “Yes.”
“How much do you need for you to leave Yunhai forever?” Wang Yunxi found it unpleasant to look at the wedding gown that Lu Man was wearing. She even felt that she had made the right choice to come over here when she saw the message.
Lu Man was shocked. Soon, her face broke into a smile.
Her smile was just like a flower that bloomed all of a sudden. She was unbelievably beautiful. Mu Yunhai almost lost his mind while looking at her. At the same time, his heart felt like it was being gripped tight.
It seemed like he would soon lose the right to be with her…
“What are you laughing at?” Wang Yunxi scolded, angrily.
“I’m laughing at you! You’re ridiculous!” Lu Man looked at her with a scornful smile.
“How dare you laugh at me!”
“Why can’t I laugh at you?” Lu Man raised her eyebrows slightly.
“You…” Wang Yunxi was never challenged like that her whole life. She could not even retort to Lu Man.
Lu Man held Mu Yunhai’s arm charmingly. She looked at Wang Yunxi. She was actually challenging her. “He’s my priceless treasure. I will never leave him no matter how much you’re going to pay me.”
She looked up at Mu Yunhai after she finished talking. She smiled happily and confidently.
Mu Yunhai was a handsome man. There were a lot of women who loved him and some of them had even taken the initiative to pursue him. Although it was the first time someone claimed his love using money, Lu Man was used to these kinds of things. So, she did not have many emotions even though it happened before her wedding. It was because she believed in Mu Yunhai’s loyalty toward her. She had faith in her love toward him.
Mu Yunhai looked at Lu Man who was now smiling happily and beautifully. He clenched his hand into a fist tightly. Even the blue veins in his hand were obviously popping.
“How are you so shameful? You still want to cling onto Yunhai given how the situation is now! No wonder Yunhai told me that you’re clingy. He has even asked me to give him some time to deal with you!” Wang Yunxi had never seen this kind of woman. Lu Man did not know when to retreat when things made a turn for the worse!
Lu Man looked at Wang Yunxi for a short while, shocked and in disbelief. Suddenly, she asked Wang Yunxi solemnly, “Young lady, what’s your family’s contact number?”
“What do you want?” Wang Yunxi was baffled. Why did Lu Man want her family’s contact number?
“You’re seriously ill. Just tell me their contact number. I’ll ask them to come and pick you up so that you can receive treatment.” Wang Yunxi was yearning for another woman’s fiancé. She acted like a slut. Moreover, she had even spoken like that. The only possible explanation was that she was seriously ill.
Wang Yunxi realized now that Lu Man was insulting her. “You’re the one who’s seriously ill! Your entire family is ill!”
“It’s fine if you are delusional. But, it’s terrible if you refuse to receive your treatment.” Lu Man hinted at Wang Yunxi that she could be saved as long as she did not give up her treatment.
“I’m not paranoid! Mu Yunhai, go ahead and tell her! You’re not going to marry her! You’re going to marry me!” Wang Yunxi shouted furiously.
Lu Man looked at Mu Yunhai and kept quiet. She just stared at her with a smile. She was waiting for Mu Yunhai to give his usual response. He would explain firmly that she was the only person he loved. He would drive that crazy woman away.
She believed in him completely. Her trust in him was genuine.
“Manman, I’m sorry…”
Mu Yunhai said his apology with great difficulty. Lu Man’s smile froze suddenly. Her smile fell onto the floor and crashed into a thousand pieces.
Wang Yunxi replied smugly, “Did you hear that? He said that he’s sorry. It means that he’s not going to marry you! He’s in love with me! He wants to marry me! I’m not paranoid! He’s abandoning you!”
Lu Man found her own voice after much internal struggle. She stared at Mu Yunhai. “Yunhai, are you joking? I don’t like this kind of joke! I really hate it! Stop fooling around!”
Sometimes, people acted in such a way when they realized something. They chose not to believe it.
Lu Man suppressed her anxiety. She did not believe it. Mu Yunhai did not dare to look at Lu Man. He looked away, subconsciously.
He avoided her. Lu Man’s heart soon fell into a deep pit of coldness.
“Are you insane or what? Yunhai has spoken very clearly just now. Why are you saying that he’s joking? It’s obvious that he’s not joking with you!” Wang Yunxi retorted, sarcastically.
“That’s enough, Wang Yunxi. Just leave!” Mu Yunxi warned, coldly. Lu Man was still the woman he cared about the most. He could not endure the fact that somebody else spoke like that to her.
“I don’t want to! You must break up with her today!” Wang Yunxi came from a wealthy family and she was badly spoilt since the day she was born. Everyone always listened to her.
“Lu Man, I’m pregnant with Yunhai’s child. We’ve been together for a long time now. He’s too soft-hearted to tell you the truth. Since I’m here now, the two of you need to settle it right here and right now! How much do I need to pay you so that you’ll leave Yunhai? Let’s make it short and sweet! Don’t refuse to accept it when I’m being all nice here!”
She was pregnant with Yunhai’s child. They had been together for a long time now.
Yunhai was a Christian. He believed that one should never have sex before marriage. But, now she was pregnant with his child.
Lu Man could not hear what Wang Yunxi was saying anymore. Mu Yunhai’s face turned blurry in her eyes too.
