After Li Man left, Wen Runuan said to Qin Mu: "Instead of one person playing with fire, it’s better for both to play. Why should n enjoy the fun while we won must be ascetics? At least put on a show, maybe Li Yu will have so other emotions."
"Maybe!"
Qin Mu didn’t think Wen Runuan’s words were unreasonable, she just wasn’t used to gambling with her own future.
Qin Mu suddenly thought, if she were in a relationship like Li Yu and Li Man now, she might go and drive that woman away.
Among thousands of kinds of love, none should be about waiting passively for doom.
When soone is moving forward, no matter in which direction, the other cannot stand still, stagnant.
——
In the evening, when Qin Mu returned ho, she sent a ssage to Li Man: "If it were , before choosing to provoke the other, I’d think about whether I can bear the worst result; if not, I wouldn’t do it."
She couldn’t force others, she could only share her own feelings with them.
Li Man still asked Wen Runuan to help find a young guy and then brought him ho. That evening, Li Yu also returned ho early, only to see a reasonably handso young man sitting at ho, but he looked...
"Hello! I’m Manman’s friend! Yao Jie!"
The young man was sitting in the sofa while playing with his phone out of boredom, and when he saw Li Yu return, he stood up and greeted him a bit nervously.
Li Yu didn’t say anything, he just heard so noise in the kitchen and walked towards it.
Li Man seed to be calm, cooking as if nothing happened, but Li Yu didn’t know she was actually tense, clutching at her chest at the kitchen door when she heard him co back.
"Boyfriend?"
Li Yu asked, standing at the kitchen door softly.
Like he was afraid of interrupting sothing, he acted like a caring big brother looking out for his little sister.
"Sort of! How do you find him?"
Li Man casually turned her head to glance at him and asked for his opinion.
"As long as you like him! If his character isn’t a problem!"
After finishing the first sentence, Li Yu was about to walk out, but after thinking for a mont, he added.
"That’s for you to judge, can you manage that? This little issue, you can handle it, right?"
Li Man asked him, naturally hoping he would stay at ho.
Li Yu stayed at ho that evening, eating with the two of them, as previously discussed with Li Man. Yao Jie revealed his true identity, a young guy from Wen Runuan’s company, currently taking on minor roles, but he promised Li Yu he would definitely be a lead actor in the future.
Li Yu looked at him, always feeling like his sister was the older one taking advantage of the youthful one, unconsciously turning to the man sitting next to him and asking in a low voice: "Are you sure you want to date him? He looks younger than you by a few years?"
"Do you think I’m not good enough for him? He’s been pestering for over half a year, you can ask Wen Runuan; she knows all about us."
It was that ntion of over half a year that swept away all of Li Yu’s calmness, and Li Man, seeing his suddenly cold gaze, was startled, unconsciously lowering her head, eating tastelessly during dinner.
After ten, Li Man sent Yao Jie downstairs. According to their agreent, Yao Jie lowered his head and lightly kissed her on the cheek. It was the first ti soone kissed Li Man, and she frowned deeply, only telling him, "You should leave now!"
Yao Jie chuckled, looked up at the building, "You’re too nervous!"
Li Man, of course, knew she was nervous. She looked up as Yao Jie got into the car and then turned around, also looking up at the building.
They lived on the eighth floor, and from Li Yu’s room window, all he needed to do was look down to see what happened below. Li Man couldn’t help but bite her lip forcefully, then took out her phone from her pocket, texting Qin Mu as she returned.
"I want to take a gamble! I might not be able to bear the worst result, but if I don’t do this, I’ll never have a chance!"
By the ti Li Man returned, Li Yu was already in his room showering. She knocked on the door, opened it, and imdiately heard the water running in the bathroom, then swiftly closed the door again.
——
Mu Yichen was playing with Qin Mu’s phone, reluctantly telling his son a bedti story. He saw the ssage from Li Man but didn’t rush to tell Qin Mu. He actually didn’t want Qin Mu involved in Li Yu’s and Li Man’s affairs. Once he confird Li Yu wasn’t really trying to ruin their marriage, Mu Yichen had no more feelings about Li Yu.
