Chapter 174 - 173 I Laugh at You for Being Silly and Naive
Feeling Lu Tianxing’s unrestrained gaze, Shen Manjun’s face briefly flashed with irritation before she stood up abruptly and said with a cold laugh, "Mr. Lu, whatever your reasons, I warn you not to overstep your bounds. Otherwise, I have countless ways to make your life worse than death. You’d better consider the consequences. I’ve investigated your background; you’re just an ordinary person. Fifty million is enough for you to live lavishly for a lifetime. Take it and leave if you know what’s good for you, otherwise don’t blame me for not being polite."
"Not polite? What kind of impoliteness are you talking about? Do you plan to smother me with your treasures, or perhaps to drain me dry?"
Lu Tianxing looked at Shen Manjun, ignoring her threats, and said with a lecherous expression, "Miss Shen, just be honest with me, have you fallen for me? Why else would you investigate me? And today, you dressed so temptingly—isn’t it to catch my eye? I admit I’m handsome, but this kind of hinting makes me uncomfortable. After all, I’m a married man. It’s quite embarrassing for me. At least give me some time to consider."
"You..."
Anger flickered across Shen Manjun’s face as she took a deep breath and said sharply, "Mr. Lu, please behave yourself. Let’s come straight to the point today. Mr. Lu, are you aware that your identity is highly suspicious?"
"Suspicious?"
Lu Tianxing was taken aback, "What’s there to suspect about my identity? Miss Shen, since you’ve investigated me, then the information should explain everything! What’s there to doubt? If you’re suggesting that I’m using Qiaoqiao to get close to you, to flirt with you, I apologize. I should have been more discreet."
"Mr. Lu, arguing your point has no use. Let’s not beat around the bush. Sometimes, things that are out in the open cannot be trusted, and I think you understand that better than I do. Who exactly are you?"
Shen Manjun’s gaze was sharp, her tone full of aggression, and her intuition told her that Lu Tianxing was no ordinary man; few dared to tease her like this.
