Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

“I’ll look for him if I have to.” Lu Manman nodded.

“Okay, then I won’t talk about it anymore. I still have to pick the wedding gown and dress for tomorrow’s shoot later. Bye.”

“Bye.”

Lu Manman hung up and fell silent as her thoughts wandered.

She did not know if the plot would progress as it had in her previous life, but she hoped that the first half of the story would progress this way…

So.

She was waiting for an opportunity.

“What are you thinking about?” Mo Yuanxiu suddenly asked.

A little shocked, she furrowed her brows unhappily. “I was thinking about my wedding photo. Should I get Ye Heng to take your place, and then you can just paste your face on it?”

“Good idea.”

“Mo Yuanxiu!”

“I’ll try to come back early.” He laughed.

“Forget it. Do whatever you want.” Lu Manman did not want to say anything anymore. “It’s just a formality anyway.”

Mo Yuanxiu pursed his lips but did not discuss it further. “Then, let’s get discharged.”

Lu Manman got off the bed.

Ye Heng and Qin Ao were already waiting at the entrance.

Qin Ao’s injuries were evidently more serious than hers, but he still looked at her with respect.

They left the hospital and got into the black car.

“Miss Lu, I’ll send you back to your house. Try not to appear in public during this period of time. Qin Ao will be by your side twenty-four hours a day. At the same time, there will be people protecting you in the dark. You aren’t safe before you get married, and after what has happened today, I believe you know the severity of the situation. I don’t want you to be a cold corpse before I get back,” Mo Yuanxiu said slowly.

Lu Manman ignored him.

“We need to prepare for the wedding, including the dowry, the wedding, the hotel, and so on. Ye Heng will handle it, and you just need to ask for whatever you want. As long as it’s within our means, we’ll try our best to satisfy it. The first meeting of both parents, as well as the wedding photos, will be held after I return,” Mo Yuanxiu continued.

Lu Manman did not respond.

“Rest more. I don’t want you to be too ugly on our wedding day.”

Lu Manman glared at him.

You’re the ugly one! Your whole family is ugly!

Mo Yuanxiu smiled and placed a hand on her cheek.

She turned away unhappily.

He just chuckled.

However, she did not feel any warmth from his smile at all. In fact, it was cold.

Was this man used to insincere words?

The car arrived at the entrance of the Lu family’s villa very soon.

Lu Manman got off without stopping.

Qin Ao followed after her.

The two of them vanished from their sight.

“Let’s go,” Mo Yuanxiu said.

Ye Heng started the car and drove off.

“Ye Heng, I need you to do something.”

“Okay.”

“The Wen family surely won’t let my wedding with Lu Manman go smoothly. Once the wedding is announced, Lu Manman’s safety will be compromised over time.” Mo Yuanxiu was very serious. “So, do something. Let the Wen family know that someone has been trying to sabotage them so that they won’t dare to act rashly at this crucial moment.”

“Alright, I understand what you mean. I’ll get someone to do it. After all, besides the underworld, we have a lot of people on the good side.” Ye Heng nodded in agreement. He then continued in a serious tone, “But if we do that, we will have to give up the best opportunity to take advantage of the Wen family. Ah Xiu, do you really care about Lu Manman?”

Mo Yuanxiu looked ahead silently.

Ye Heng looked at him in the rearview mirror and said, “You went to drive the truck yourself today because you were afraid something would go wrong? It was so dangerous back then. Moreover, in order to save Lu Manman, you missed the opportunity to take the driver away first…”

“Ye Heng.” Mo Yuanxiu interrupted him. “I just don’t think Lu Manman should die so soon.”

“…” Only a ghost would believe that.

Mo Yuanxiu changed the topic. “I’ll leave the preparations to you.”

“Okay.”

Silence ensued.

Ye Heng somehow felt that everything was going off track.

However, that might not necessarily be a good thing!

He somehow felt that Mo Yuanxiu lacked some humanity!

Now was the time!
