She was right.
Although Meng Jingwei was Qing Muye’s wife, she was also her good sister. What she and Qing Muye did didn't conflict.
Shen Liannuo raised an eyebrow, her seductive eyes narrowing slightly, and she moved a few inches closer to Lu Yanming. “You’re not… chickening out, are you?”
After all, they were dealing with the Tang family.
The Tang family of the capital, whether in terms of strength, wealth, power, or influence, was unparalleled in the country.
Lu Yanming’s brow furrowed slightly. “Since you know the opponent’s formidable strength, you should be more rational. Your every word and action represents Muye.”
“Hmph, I can’t worry about so much.” She turned her head aside, looking out the window. “At worst, I’ll throw myself to the Tang family to apologize.”
Afterward, Lu Yanming continued to explain the risks and consequences in detail, but Shen Liannuo remained unfazed.
Not only that, but she also got riled up.
She slammed the seat abruptly, glaring at Lu Yanming. “Are you going or not? If you don’t, I’ll go by myself. I can’t stand this constant irritation anyway. I, the proud young lady of the Hidden Clan…”
“Ahem.”
In her excitement, Shen Liannuo accidentally exposed her identity. Lu Yanming coughed lightly to remind her.
Shen Liannuo immediately fell silent, pouted, and snorted, “Coward.”
She reached out and patted the driver’s seat. “Brother Xiaowu, stop the car.”
Xiaowu nodded and immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road.
“What are you doing?” Lu Yanming’s face darkened as he asked.
Shen Liannuo’s exquisitely beautiful face was etched with coldness. “Thank you, Mr. Lu, for going to the capital without complaint. I won’t trouble you further. Goodbye.”
With that, she reached out to open the car door, intending to get out.
“Come back!”
Lu Yanming grabbed Shen Liannuo’s arm and chided her softly.
Shen Liannuo struggled and shook her arm, but Lu Yanming held on too tightly, and she couldn't break free.
She huffed, her delicate, curved eyebrows twisting in anger, her alluring face filled with fury. “Let go!”
“I won’t.”
“Lu Yanming, do you think I wouldn’t dare to hit you?”
“Heh.” Lu Yanming couldn’t help but chuckle. “Is there anyone in this world that you, Shen Liannuo, wouldn't dare to hit? Even if there were, they probably haven’t been born yet.”
“Since you know that, why don’t you let go? Believe me, I’ll beat you so badly your mother wouldn’t recognize you.” As she spoke, she raised her right fist, looking as if she would strike Lu Yanming at any moment.
Xiaowu, sitting in the front passenger seat, watched the scene unfold in the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
The man behind them was his boss, a gentle and refined gentleman, and yet look at how he was being pushed around.
Tsk tsk tsk, this woman named Shen Liannuo was truly extraordinary.
But she was also incredibly beautiful.
Her eyes were like paintings, and every smile and frown gave the illusion of seductive allure, like a captivating beauty stepping out of a scroll.
Even a fleeting glance would make one’s heart race.
“It doesn’t matter if my mother recognizes me or not. If something happens to you now, I’m afraid I’ll never have the chance to see my mother again in this lifetime. Muye would kill me!”
With a forceful grip, he pulled Shen Liannuo, who had one leg outside the car with her foot on the ground, back into the car.
The force was so great that Shen Liannuo, caught off guard, leaned back and fell directly into his arms.
At that moment, the faint scent of the woman’s perfume wafted towards him, lingering in Lu Yanming’s nostrils. The unique, faint fragrance inexplicably made Lu Yanming’s heart race, his earlobes turning slightly red.
It had been many years since he had been this close to a woman.
However, Shen Liannuo didn’t notice the subtle changes in his expression. Instead, she sat up indignantly and pushed Lu Yanming, “Why are you pulling me? I’ll go myself if I don’t want to. Honestly!”
“I’ll accompany you!”
