Chapter 110: lost

Su Mianmian did not understand why he kept looking at her like that.

"Do you have something to say?"

He did have something to say. He had not expected her to give away the money. Perhaps this was why he liked her. On the surface, she gave people the impression that she was strong and unreasonable, but in fact, she had a more delicate heart than anyone else.

"Su Mianmian, you did well just now. Take that thousand yuan and use it to buy cosmetics. I see that the cosmetics you usually use are at least ten-thousand yuan."

Su Mianmian twitched the corner of her mouth.

"The cosmetics I use are all branded. I asked a friend to buy them. It's only a few thousand yuan." Su Mianmian proudly circled the keys with her fingers and waved them around in her hand.

Today, she did a good deed. She could treat it as a good deed for the child in her stomach. Anyway, she didn't need that thousand yuan.

Lu Xiangdong nodded. "But to be honest, your performance today was really good. I thought you would take the money and beat that man up."

"I'm so violent in your heart!"

He laughed. "Looks like I'm overthinking it!"

No matter what, she was still a girl. How could she beat a man up?

But today was troublesome for him. She turned her head to look out of the car window and said unnaturally, "Thank you."

"What did you say?" He teased her.

She turned her head and glared at him. "Don't push your luck. Don't say anything nice twice."

"Okay." He knew when to back off.

She suddenly remembered what he had said before. Her swollen face was related to cosmetics. It seemed that she should use less of that brand of cosmetics in the future to prevent her skin from becoming so swollen again.

"Lu Xiangdong, what is going on in your head?" Lu Xiangdong's hand slipped and he almost crashed the car into a telephone pole.

"What are you trying to say? The brain matter in my head is the same as yours."

She pretended that she didn't say anything. She had wanted to praise him a little, but now she didn't want to talk to him at all.

Lu Xiangdong glanced at her. Was she that easily angry? He really couldn't joke about it.

He wasn't sure whose phone suddenly rang, but Lu Xiangdong picked it up and glanced at it. He realized that it wasn't his phone but hers. The caller ID on the phone made him lose his mind.

Su Mianmian looked at the caller ID and then looked at him. She felt guilty and didn't dare to pick up because it was Ouyang Que calling.

Lu Xiangdong retracted his hand and pursed his lips. He focused on driving his car. His eyes were fixed on the front, but his mind wasn't on it.

If she did not pick up now, he would definitely know that she was guilty, so she took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and put it close to her ear.

Ouyang Que was exercising in the gym. He held his phone in one hand and ran quickly on the treadmill. "Mianmian!"

When Su Mianmian heard his voice, she felt very strange. "What are you doing? Why are you panting like that?"

"I'm exercising in the gym. Do you want to exercise?" Ouyang Que picked up a towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and pressed the pause button on the treadmill. He walked to the side and took a sip of water.

Su Mianmian rarely exercised, especially now that she was pregnant. At most, she would take a walk and could not do any strenuous exercise.

"My figure is just right. I don't need to lose weight."

Ouyang Que laughed. He asked her whether she was at work or not today.

Su Mianmian glanced at Lu Xiangdong next to her and said, "I'm resting today. Why? Do you want to treat me to a meal?"

Ouyang Que shrugged. He did not care about a meal.

"Come over. I'll treat you to a meal." He tidied up and prepared to leave the gym.

"Now?"

"Yes, now."

Su Mianmian quickly rejected him. "I'm afraid I can't do it now. I have something to do. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

Ouyang Que smiled and said, "Alright then. When you're free, give me a call. I'll treat you to a meal."

Su Mianmian nodded and hung up the phone.

The corners of Lu Xiangdong's mouth curled up into a beautiful curve. He looked ahead without saying anything. When he drove out of the alley, he suddenly turned off the engine. He put his hands on the steering wheel and said, "Get out of the car."

Su Mianmian thought she had heard wrong. He wanted her to get out of the car here? But she didn't have any money on her. Did he want her to walk back on her own?

"Lu Xiangdong, I won't get out of the car no matter what because I don't have any money to get a ride."

He took off his seatbelt and turned sideways to press her against the car seat. He stared at her with bloodshot eyes. Su Mianmian subconsciously pushed him, afraid that he would press on her stomach.

"Lu Xiangdong, what exactly do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? Don't you know? Flirting with another man in front of me. Do you think I'm a dead man?" He pinched her chin hard. Su Mianmian said angrily, "I'm friends with him. What's wrong with chatting and eating with friends?"

"Just friends? That simple? Or do you think I can't satisfy you, so you want to find another man?" His body pressed down more and more, and a trace of panic flashed across Su Mianmian's face. She was caught off guard and accidentally slapped him.

All of Lu Xiangdong's rationality instantly disintegrated. He grabbed her hand and he angrily wanted to crush it. Su Mianmian pinched the space between her brows in pain. What was he trying to do?

Upon seeing her look of pain, he couldn't bear it. The strength in his hand gradually loosened, and he retreated to his original position. He kicked the spot where the brakes were. He pushed open the car door, got out, and slammed the car door. He left without looking back.

Su Mianmian seemed to have woken up from a dream. She pushed open the car door and chased after him.

"Lu Xiangdong, where are you going?"

"Don't worry about me. Go find Ouyang Que. I don't want to see you right now."

Su Mianmian grabbed his hand, her eyes imploring. "There's really nothing between us. Why don't you believe me?"

He flung her hand away forcefully, as if he hated her touch. He said in disgust, "I don't want to hear your explanation. Go away."

Lu Xiangdong was consumed by jealousy and hatred. He wouldn't listen to anything she said. All he knew was that she was having an affair with another man in front of him. He could not tolerate this betrayal; he would rather not see her than let her do anything to hurt him.

Su Mianmian turned around. He had already walked towards the zebra crossing. When she tried to chase after him, she realized that there was a red light flashing in front of her. Was he crazy? He actually ran a red light?

He was indeed crazy. He was crazy for her.

No woman had ever dared to treat him like that. She was the first and the last.

He did not return. Su Mianmian had been waiting downstairs at the NEPC International Airlines for a long time. She wanted to have a good chat with him, but she had not seen him. She had gone upstairs to look for him, but the office was empty. The assistant saw her come up and asked in confusion, "Stewardess Su, are you looking for the president?"

"He didn't come today?" Su Mianmian avoided the assistant's questioning gaze and looked away guiltily.

"Yes, Stewardess Su. The president is not coming today." The assistant closed the office door, as if he was going out. Su Mianmian quickly asked, "Why is he not coming?"

"The president went to Hong Kong on a business trip. He's going to be gone for a month. I'm going out to send the president his luggage now."

He was going to Hong Kong on a business trip for a month? He had gone to such a faraway place so that he wouldn't have to see her. Su Mianmian's heart turned cold, and she began to tremble.

"Stewardess Su, what are you doing?" The assistant didn't understand why she looked how she did.

"I'm fine. Go do your work." Su Mianmian tried hard to control her tears as she turned around and walked to the elevator beside her. The moment the elevator door closed, she slid down the elevator wall.

The assistant felt that something was wrong with Stewardess Su's expression. Should he mention this to the president?

Lu Xiangdong's plane passed through the clouds, on its way to Hong Kong. Lu Xiangdong leaned against his seat and looked at the scenery outside the window. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it could not calm him down. He told the assistant that it would be a month. However, his trip could take more than a month.

He felt that it was a good way to escape so that they could have some peace. If Su Mianmian still could not see his feelings during the time he was away, then the day he returned would be the day of their divorce.

"Sister Su." Tang Wenyun called out to her several times, but she did not respond. She wondered what had happened to her.

Su Mianmian looked at her in a daze. She did not know what she had said, her mind was not on it at all.

"Sister Su, are you alright? You seem to be in a daze. Did something happen to you?" Tang Wenyun approached her kindly.

Su Mianmian shook her head. "Do your work. I'm fine."

"Is it because our Captain Lu is not around that you are in a daze?" The woman's harsh voice rang out as she walked towards Su Mianmian. When she was close to her, she bumped into her.

Su Mianmian took a look. It was the woman she had taught a lesson to last time. This woman was most likely still angry about what happened. She spoke harshly.

However, Su Mianmian wasn't someone who was easy to bully. She turned around and used the cart to bump into her thigh. When she saw the woman furrow her brows in pain, she said with a fake smile, "You've seen through all of this. It seems like you do this kind of thing quite often."
