Chapter 28: We Are Just Getting Married In Name
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was late at night, and the surroundings were quiet.
Lu Manman felt herself tense up.
The little distance they had between each other made this pose extremely provocative.
“Don’t you kiss me,” Lu Manman said fiercely.
“So you want me to skip the kissing, and get to it right away!”
“Mo Yuanxiu!!” Lu Manman clenched her jaw in anger. “Let go of me, I’m not in the mood to do this with you. Our marriage is just a transaction, a marriage in name. Don’t think too much about it.”
“Marriage in name?” Mo Yuanxiu looked up and pulled out a devious smile. That smile was so… charming.
Then.
Lu Manman felt a pair of lips press forcefully against hers.
“Mm…” Lu Manman was struggling.
He was way too strong for her.
Lu Manman had no way of resisting!
She felt as if she was going to suffocate soon, and suddenly bit down.
Mo Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment before he let go of her suddenly.
There was some blood on his lips where she had bitten.
Mo Yuanxiu touched his lips, displeased, and said, “Are you a dog?”
“Didn’t you say I was a cat?” Lu Manman looked up at him.
She refused to bow down.
“Then remember this: I am a tiger!” Mo Yuanxiu said.
Lu Manman suddenly paused, and asked, “Who is better, the tiger or the lion?”
“Guess?”
“Guess for what!” Lu Manman pushed Mo Yuanxiu away angrily.
She kept feeling like this man was fooling her.
The same thing had happened at the bar when he kissed her all of a sudden.
And now, it had happened once more.
Was kissing such a casual thing?!
Lu Manman seriously said, “Mo Yuanxiu, it’s your business that you’re a flirt and a playboy with tons of women around you. I don’t mind it, and I don’t care. But don’t get physical with me, I’m not that type of woman.”
Mo Yuanxiu looked at Lu Manman. “So what you mean is that I can get physical with hundreds of women out there, but I can’t touch the woman who’ll be my wife soon?”
“I believe that you won’t give up the forest for a single tree like me. It isn’t worth it, don’t you think?” Lu Manman asked.
Mo Yuanxiu did not say a word.
“I think I’ve made myself clear. If you’re smart enough, don’t disrupt our current way of life!” With that, Lu Manman turned away and left.
Mo Yuanxiu looked at Lu Manman’s back.
Getting the art piece back was just an excuse. Of course, it’d be even better if he managed to do it—it was expensive after all!
But his main objective was to sound Lu Manman out!
Who was this woman…?!
***
The following morning.
News of the previous night’s charity ball made the headlines.
“Mo Yuanxiu made a heroic move last night, becoming the No.1 of the charity ball!”
“Mo Yuanxiu’s extravagant spending took the center stage last night. 31,000,000 yuan spent on an auctioned art piece, gifted to someone else!”
“Mo Yuanxiu’s ‘domineering CEO’ type charisma threatens Wen Yun’s position as Wen City’s most outstanding young man!”

Mo Yuanxiu became the talk of the town overnight.
It was common for him to appear in tabloid papers, but he rarely made the front page of the mainstream newspapers. Now, everyone in Wen City was discussing his ‘crazy’ move from the night before—some with compliments, and some with disdain.
Wen Yun did not conceal his unhappiness as he read the papers.
