Chapter 098: He spoke as if he was speaking the truth

"Who said I didn't read the book?" He leaned against her back and pinched her chin. His hot breath sprayed on her face.

The temperature of the water rose as he neared. Su Mianmian's face flushed red. She scolded angrily, "Captain Lu, don't be a hoodlum."

He moved his hands lower and his body started to change slightly. He stroked her chin again and again, and his gaze became hot and intense.

Su Mianmian didn't dare to act rashly, afraid that her small action make him want more.

He was addicted to touching her, repeating the same action over and over again. No matter how patient Su Mianmian was, she couldn't stand it anymore. What was he thinking?

"You dropped your earring." He suddenly stopped and smiled coldly.

Su Mianmian realized that she had been fooled by him.

"Boring." She thought that he was going to do something bad, but he was just fooling her that she didn't have her earrings.

Lu Xiangdong folded his arms across his chest and stared at her with a completely different gaze. Su Mianmian looked down. She wrapped her arms tightly around her chest. "Where are you looking?"

He was not affected by her words at all. He turned around, bent down, and swam forward.

He had just ignored her. Su Mianmian climbed out of the swimming pool with resentment.

She sat by the side of the swimming pool and gently wrung the water from her clothes. She brushed away the hair on her forehead and looked in the direction of the swimming pool.

Lu Xiangdong swam quite fast. After a short while, he swam back and floated in front of her. Then, when she was not paying attention, he jumped up, scaring Su Mianmian.

"What are you doing? Why are you spraying water all over me? Seriously, aren't you meant to be reading?"

The corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

"Stewardess Su, I originally wanted to read quietly, but you wanted to seduce me with swimming. Did you think I could refuse?" He suddenly leaned towards her. His tone was light as he put his hands on her shoulders.

Su Mianmian shrunk her neck. How could she seduce him? Seduced him? She just wanted to use the swimming pool to swim. Was there a need for that?

"Don't frame me. I only jumped in because I felt a little hot. Besides, I swam in my pool. How did it affect you?"

"You're not seducing me with your clothes? How about this?" He leaned over and trapped her in his arms. The moment she opened her mouth in shock, he kissed her.

He kissed her intensely and bit her lower lip hard. The pain made her shrink. She tasted a faint mint fragrance in his mouth. The fragrance suffocated her and she tried her best to push him away, but his hands were like iron. He held her waist tightly.

She felt that he was deliberately punishing her, which was why he was biting her lips.

"Oh, enough!" She mustered up the strength to push him far away.

Lu Xiangdong pulled back his thoughts and reached out to touch his thin lips. He still wanted more. However, when he saw her fiery eyes, he felt annoyed. He had kissed her too passionately, which was why he bit her lips.

He had been too impulsive and reckless just now.

"You continue swimming. I won't stop you from swimming." Lu Xiangdong picked up the book that he had thrown on the ground and left casually.

Su Mianmian felt that he was sick. One moment, he was cold to her, and the next moment, he kissed her crazily. She didn't understand what he was thinking.

Lu Xiangdong entered the living room and stole a glance at her. She was still standing by the swimming pool. He hadn't meant to hurt her, but when he thought of her cold attitude towards him, he became upset and impulsively kissed her.

He felt that he had been childish.

He placed his book aside and prepared to go out for a business trip. This would allow him to avoid meeting her. As long as he didn't meet her, he wouldn't be so rash.

Su Mianmian happened to bump into him as he was about to go out. She opened her mouth in surprise. Today was the weekend, and he still had to go to work?

When Lu Xiangdong brushed past her, he only stopped for a moment. Then, without even waving his hand, he left.

Su Mianmian turned her head to look at the man who had already left. He threw his briefcase into the car and sat in it. Then, he drove away.

When had they become so unfamiliar? At the banquet? Was he still thinking about the banquet? She thought that must be it. The reason for this distance between them. Su Mianmian bit her lip and went upstairs, disappointed.

Spending the weekend alone would be boring. Su Mianmian decided to go out for a walk.

When Su Mianmian was on the street, she met Tang Wenyun. She said that she wanted to go back to her hometown and asked Su Mianmian if she wanted to come along. They could take a car back together tonight.

She had been worried that she wouldn't have anyone to play with. Now, she could visit her hometown with Tang Wenyun. Of course she was willing to go out and relax.

Tang Wenyun's hometown was not very far from the city, about an hours drive. The two of them watched videos and chatted in the car. An hour later, she and Tang Wenyun arrived.

"Wenyun, you're back!" Tang Wenyun's mother looked at Su Mianmian beside her with joy. Tang Wenyun quickly introduced her. "Mom, this is my colleague, Sister Su. She came to visit us for a day. She will come back to the city with me tonight."

"Hello, Auntie." Su Mianmian quickly greeted her.

Wenyun's mother nodded. "Sister Su, right? Come, come, sit inside. You should know that Wenyun never brings guests back. This girl didn't even inform us when she brought guests back. Look at the mess at home. You can sit wherever you like."

Su Mianmian waved her hand in embarrassment. "Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. Just order whatever you like."

"Okay, okay, okay. You guys talk first. I'll go get some dates." She smiled and glared at Tang Wenyun before leaving.

"Your mother is really warm-hearted! I was originally here to scrounge for a meal, but it made me feel embarrassed." Su Mianmian smiled awkwardly.

Tang Wenyun clapped her hands, her mother was hospitable. Whenever she brought friends back, her mother always treated them like a treasure.

"My mother has such a personality. Please don't take it to heart!"

Tang Wenyun's mother finished washing some fruit and stood behind Tang Wenyun. She patted her shoulder and scolded, "Are you talking about me behind my back? That's outrageous!"

Tang Wenyun stuck out her tongue and stood up to hug her mother. She acted sweetly. "Mom, I'm telling sister Su that you have a good personality and are a good person. You treat my friends even better."

She patted Wenyun's shoulder. "You're the only one who knows how to brag. Tell your friends to eat the fruits. Don't just focus on eating by yourself."

"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. Just order whatever you want," Su Mianmian tried to persuade her.

"Alright, I'll go and cook. You guys talk!" She left with a smile.

Tang Wenyun thought that she should take her around the area. Otherwise, she would have wasted her time.

"Sister Su, let me take you around the area! The scenery here is very good. You can take a few photos."

Su Mianmian nodded. It was rare to come to this place. She should take a walk around.

Tang Wenyun led her to an ancient temple nearby, it was at the top of the mountains. The path at the foot of the mountain led to the ancient temple above.

"Wenyun, the scenery here is indeed good. What's the name of this temple?"

"Zen Heart Temple. There are Bodhisattvas in the temple and many people come here to offer incense. Do you want to offer incense and make a wish?"

Su Mianmian shook her head. She didn't believe in such things. However, since she was already here, offering incense would not be any trouble. She supposed that she would rather believe in something than not.

She did not expect the Zen Heart Temple to be so crowded with people. It seemed to be a popular tourist attraction. Su Mianmian clicked her tongue in admiration.

"There are quite a lot of people here. Is there a charge for entering the temple?" Su Mianmian asked.

Tang Wenyun nodded. "Yes, there is. The entrance fee is twenty. But since I'm the one who asked you to come here, I'll pay for the entrance fee. Sister Su, remember to offer incense and make a wish."

"Oh, okay." Su Mianmian smiled. She was someone who had nothing to worry about. She really didn't know what to make a wish for.

There was a queue to enter the temple. They lined up behind the crowd and waited to enter the temple.

The temple was divided into different districts. Su Mianmian picked a few pleasant-sounding districts to have a look.

She pointed at one of the very tall Bodhisattvas and smiled. "I'll worship this one. This one is pleasing to the eye."

Tang Wenyun said awkwardly, "Sister Su, this is the child-giving Guan Yin. If you want to worship this one, you have to get married first. Otherwise, it won't work."

She was already married, and she had lived with Lu Xiangdong for many days. However, she had never thought of getting pregnant with Lu Xiangdong's child. She quickly got up and waved her hand. "Alright, I'll go and worship other Bodhisattvas. Is there any Bodhisattva about seeking marriage?"

"The one in front is a Bodhisattva who seeks marriage. You can pay your respects to that one."

She kneeled in front of the Bodhisattva, took a bamboo stick, and handed it to a master.

The master stroked his white beard, shook his head. "Your stick is a bad stick. Not good."

"How is it not good?" Su Mianmian asked nervously.

"The stick says that your path of marriage is very bumpy. If you want to get through this difficult situation, you have to go through some hardships to resolve it."

It was almost true. Su Mianmian pursed her lips, not believing what the master said at all.

"Master, is there a way to get through these difficulties?"
