"You're in a hurry to get married, I understand. I won't hold you back. You should look for him, I won't stop you."
"But we can't break up yet. When you truly fall for him and decide to marry him, I absolutely won't say a word."
This is interesting. Even after saying all that, he could still accept it?
He still wanted to be with her?
Xiang Wan was so angry she laughed.
"Lu Mingzhe, do you have any bottom line at all?"
"You're getting married and dragging me along as a third wheel. Now that I have someone I like, you want to stand in the middle as a fourth wheel."
"Will it be like this in the future? When I get married, you'll come back with nonsense like, 'It's okay, I don't care that you're married, we can continue to hide it from your husband,' and pester me for the rest of my life?"
She was too beautiful.
When Xiang Wan was silent, her face had a sophisticated, aloof, and world-weary look.
But when she spoke, a small, sharp canine tooth would appear on the left side of her face, making her incredibly cute.
This instantly ruined her overall cold and alluring demeanor.
Therefore, the more agitated she became, the wider her expressions, and the clearer her canine tooth became.
Lu Mingzhe found her even cuter and liked her even more.
He didn't care what she said.
His attention had already shifted to her mouth.
It wasn't until Xiang Wan finished speaking and closed her mouth, hiding her teeth, that he snapped back to reality.
"You're so beautiful. It's been days since I kissed you, and I miss it terribly. Let me kiss you."
Xiang Wan, "..."
I'm talking about breaking up with you! What are you thinking about?
"Oh, breaking up isn't that urgent. I miss you so much, I came all this way. At least let me kiss you."
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
One arm wrapped around her waist, and the other pressed against the back of her head.
The familiar feeling made Xiang Wan almost unable to resist her feelings.
But she wouldn't allow herself to be weak.
She pushed against his chest with both fists.
"Get lost, have you no shame? You think I'd let you kiss me when I'm breaking up with you?"
"I disagree. You want to break up, so we break up? It's not that easy. I want to kiss you."
"Lu Mingzhe, can you have some dignity?"
"No, I haven't had any dignity for more than a day or two anyway."
With that, Lu Mingzhe lowered his head.
The couples passing by saw this noisy scene and couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Their faces were filled with amused smiles.
Lu Mingzhe only let her go after a long kiss.
Xiang Wan turned her head and saw that they were attracting a crowd.
Both embarrassed and angry, she kicked his calf.
"Now can you let go? Can you leave?"
"No. Let's go back and sleep. I really miss you."
He furrowed his brows and gestured for Xiang Wan to look in a certain direction.
Xiang Wan understood his intention.
"Find whoever you want, but don't look for me. I'm not playing along! Let go, or I'll call for help!"
After speaking, she tried to break free from his embrace.
However, Lu Mingzhe was too strong, and she couldn't move him at all.
"Disobedient. See how I'll deal with you when we get back."
Seeing her making such a fuss,
Lu Mingzhe simply picked her up.
"Stop making a scene, or you might fall and scratch your pretty face."
Carrying her back like this attracted a lot of attention.
Some people even secretly took out their phones to take pictures.
Xiang Wan hit him.
"Put me down, so many people are watching. If this gets online and your wife finds out, you'll be utterly ruined!"
Lu Mingzhe: "I'm not afraid."
"Are you the one who's afraid? You're a public figure, an influencer. If other potential men in the industry see this, your future will be over."
"Yes, exactly! So aren't you going to put me down now?"
The more she said this, the less he wanted to put her down.
He even waved at people who were secretly taking pictures of them.
"Do you guys know her? She has over a million followers on short video apps."
"Really?"
She didn't expect to meet an influencer just by taking pictures.
The girl covered her mouth in surprise.
"No wonder she's so beautiful. You two are so well-matched. Can you tell me your names? I want to follow you."
"Okay."
Lu Mingzhe pretended he was about to say it.
Xiang Wan hit his back.
"Hurry up and go! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll bite you!"
"Now you're eagerly urging me to go back? You want to sleep with me? Fine, you said it, I didn't force you."
He carried her all the way to the elevator.
Xiang Wan's head was hanging uncomfortably, so Lu Mingzhe put her down.
There were only two people in the elevator. He pushed her into a corner and, in a very manly gesture, pinned her against the wall.
"What floor?"
Xiang Wan turned her eyes away from him: "I don't want to live with you."
Lu Mingzhe pinched her chin and kissed her on the mouth.
"What floor?"
"Can you stop being so childish?"
Another kiss.
"What floor?"
"Lu Mingzhe, you really..."
Lu Mingzhe interrupted her.
"If you want to play this game and want me to kiss you a few more times, then we'll just stay here."
"I have plenty of energy, especially since I haven't been active for days."
Xiang Wan conceded to him and pressed the floor number.
As soon as they entered the room and the door closed, Lu Mingzhe was like a raging beast.
Like a long-plotted debt collector, he pushed her against the door.
Xiang Wan was powerless to resist and was completely overwhelmed by his kiss.
After an extremely exhausting night,
The next day, they slept in the room.
It was the last day of their vacation, and everyone had planned to go on a road trip along a certain route and take more beautiful photos.
Xiang Yang told them not to disturb Xiang Wan.
"My sister is exhausted these past few days. Give her some private time, we'll go by ourselves."
She woke up around ten in the morning.
Xiang Wan's body ached. When she opened her eyes, she found herself comfortably lying in Lu Mingzhe's arms.
Lu Mingzhe's chin rested on her forehead.
The rough stubble had been there for who knows how long, pricking her skin until it hurt.
Xiang Wan tried to move, but Lu Mingzhe had already woken up.
Sensing her attempt to move, he immediately held her tighter.
"Let go of me. My arm is numb."
Lu Mingzhe buried his face in her hair and let out a muffled laugh.
"My arm has been under your head all night, and I didn't say it was numb. Why are you numb?"
"Your beard is pricking me, it hurts."
He still didn't let go.
"I want to prick you. It's intentional punishment for your misbehavior."
Xiang Wan was so angry she kicked him.
"Are you crazy? I'm not your wife, what have I done to you? Why are you punishing me?"
"It's only a piece of paper away from you being my wife. Shouldn't you have some moral boundaries and restrain yourself?"
Despite his harsh words, Lu Mingzhe reached out and massaged her shoulders.
"I didn't get a chance to ask you yesterday. Tell me now."
"Who exactly is pursuing you? Did they come with you? What do they look like? Show me."
"What? Do I need your permission to find a husband?"
"Not exactly. It's just from an objective standpoint, I want to help you screen them."
"Thank you. I don't need it, I have my own eyes."
Xiang Wan tried to get up, but Lu Mingzhe wouldn't allow it.
"Is someone really pursuing you? Aren't all the people in your studio younger than you?"
"You wouldn't be so foolish, would you? Those insignificant little kids who can fool you with a few sweet words?"
