After Assistant Wu led President Chen away, only Su Wanwan and Pei Munian were left in the corner. Both of them didn’t say anything and there was a moment of silence.
Su Wanwan had nothing to say to Pei Munian and didn’t want to be alone with him, but it wasn’t nice of her to just turn around and leave. She pursed her lips for a moment before being the first to open her mouth. “President Pei, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll also…”
Perhaps it was because of Su Wanwan’s excessive eagerness to stay far away from him that Pei Munian couldn’t contain his frustration and anger. His thin lips parted and he blurted out, “Su Wanwan, do you seriously like to seduce men this much?”
Pei Munian’s harsh words full of sarcasm and contempt suddenly rang out, interrupting Su Wanwan’s words of goodbye. Her eyes widened in shock and her pupils constricted.
What does he mean by “like to seduce men”? Since when did I seduce men?
Su Wanwan looked at him incredulously and her voice quavered uncontrollably as she questioned him, “What do you mean?”
Pei Munian stared back at Su Wanwan with black eyes. Looking at her acting bright and innocent, all he felt was a sense of irony.
At that time, he had also been bewitched by her eyes, hadn’t he? He couldn’t help but develop feelings for her. For the first time in his life, he fell in love with a girl. Yet, he had become one of her trophies in her seductive quest.
As scenes of the past rushed into his mind, fury rose and raged in his body. He desperately needed an outlet for his anger. All of a sudden, he took a step forward and violently pressed Su Wanwan up against the wall.
He was fast and he used a good deal of strength. Su Wanwan felt her back slamming against the wall and pain shot up. She couldn’t help but frown. However, before she could react, Pei Munian’s icy-cold voice already came crashing down from above her, “Su Wanwan, why are you acting innocent? A few days ago, you told me you were serious about Ling Yu. When you broke up with him yesterday, you were so sad that I almost believed you. But here you are today, seducing another man again. Su Wanwan, would you die if you went without a man for a day?”
Su Wanwan had always known that Pei Munian’s words were sharp and venomous and he had always been merciless towards people whom he didn’t like. When she courted him back then, she already got a taste of his piercing, ruthless words. However, she couldn’t have expected that his words now would be a world of difference compared to the words she had heard at that time.
He can actually utter such hurtful words so easily and pin them on me?
Instantly, Su Wanwan’s face turned. She blinked and tears welled up in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and controlled herself, forcing her tears back. Then she lifted her eyes, squeezed out a smile on her lips, and said, “That’s right, I just love to seduce men. Didn’t you also get seduced by me back then?”
Pei Munian fixed his gaze on her. Then an immense wave of fury surged in his eyes as if it were threatening to ferociously engulf Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan smiled even more gleefully. Raising her head, she moved her red lips closer to him and continued, “Previously when I seduced Gong Lingyu, you warned me to stay away from him because he’s your brother. That I could understand. But today… President Chen probably has nothing to do with you. The reason you’re so angry, can’t possibly be because… You still miss me, right?”
Pei Munian was taken aback. Something flashed across his eyes very quickly, but it was gone in the blink of an eye. The next second, his lips curled up as if he heard something extremely ridiculous. Staring at her, he enunciated each word.
