Chapter 1008 - 1002: The Small Shop in the Alley
Lu Tianxing was a bit taken aback after hearing Shen Manjun: "Very special?"
"Yes!"
Shen Manjun nodded and said, "Do you remember the first time we met? At that time, you were just a stinky hooligan in my heart. If it weren’t for Uncle Shou telling me that he might not be your match, I would have definitely asked Uncle Shou to teach you a lesson. And then, a series of events that followed made me even more convinced that you were a scumbag, until at Wealth Mansion, you risked your life to confront the enemy for your wife."
"It was then that I realized you didn’t seem to be that much of a scumbag, at least not like other men who would abandon their wives and run away at the first sign of danger. I initially thought you only stayed because you were strong, but later I heard from Uncle Shou that you were relying solely on your willpower because almost all your bones were shattered by the enemy, riddled with cracks. If you endured a few more attacks, you would have died from fractured bones. It was then that my view of you began to change; it turned out even scumbags have a side of loyalty and righteousness."
Hearing Shen Manjun’s words, Lu Tianxing touched his nose and said, "Miss Shen, are you sure you’re praising me? Why do I feel like you’re dissing me instead?"
"Hehe, Mr. Lu, you’ll have to figure that out yourself."
Shen Manjun laughed lightly, her face showing a girlish cunning that made Lu Tianxing pause.
Noticing Lu Tianxing’s gaze, Shen Manjun blushed slightly. She didn’t know why, but ever since witnessing Lu Tianxing’s desperate fight for Bai Zhiqing at Wealth Mansion, it felt like a chord was struck in her heart. Especially after hearing Qiaoqiao’s recount of the amusement park incident yesterday, Shen Manjun felt all her negative perceptions of Lu Tianxing dissipate into thin air, disappearing without a trace.
Initially, Shen Manjun indeed intended to take Lu Tianxing to the Seafood Restaurant, but seeing him, she inexplicably brought him to a place from her childhood.
"Miss Shen, I think you’re praising me, after all, I’m so handsome." Lu Tianxing stroked his chin and said to Shen Manjun.
