Chapter 11 What Relationship Are We

Wen Laibao immediately asked for five million upon arrival, claiming a bold demand was not too much at all.

"What's going on with Wen Laibao? Has she gone crazy for money?"

"Yeah, if she has to borrow money, shouldn't she go to Gu Chen?"

"Does Mr. Mu have such a deep relationship with Wen Laibao? I've never heard of anything like this."

Everyone became more curious about her relationship with Mu Bai, what kind of relationship would make her ask for five million right away?

Wen Laibao knew, at this moment they must be mocking her in their minds for being delusional and unrealistic.

But if, if they had experienced such a childhood as she and Mu Bai did, would they still think the same?

Three years in kindergarten, six years in elementary, and three years in junior high—a total of twelve years!

If they had gone through such a childhood, would they still ridicule her for her fanciful thinking?

However, looking at Mu Bai's cold and mocking eyes, Lai Bao suddenly lost her confidence. Perhaps the warmth she firmly believed in had long been forgotten by him, or maybe it had just cooled down, which would be more fitting to say.

"Haha..."

Under everyone's curious gazes, Mu Bai suddenly laughed, a restrained yet unrestrained laugh. Everyone, taken aback, followed his laughter, naturally mocking Wen Laibao's naivety and innocence, her presence was already a joke.

"Mu Bai!"

Lai Bao's face paled, looking at this man who was incredibly familiar yet so strange.

After a long while, Mu Bai just coughed lightly, his lips and brows still held a smile, "Wen Laibao, you tell me, what is our relationship?"

"We were elementary school desk mates."

Lai Bao understood the meaning behind his words, the light in her almond-shaped eyes dimmed a bit, "Mu Bai, I know what you mean—I'm asking to borrow from you, not asking you to give it to me. I realize I'm being presumptuous, but I really need the money."

Mu Bai stopped laughing, grabbed her purse and tugged it, his narrow eyes coldly looking at her, "Five million isn't a small amount. We haven't been in contact for so many years, why do you think I would lend it to you?"

Lai Bao was stunned, yes, so many years had passed, why did she think their friendship still existed?

He had been back for a year and had never come to see her, and she had never taken the initiative to contact him either.

No matter how good it had been in the past, it was just a matter of childhood, and the memories of the later two years weren't so pleasant either. The man standing in front of her now, where could she find the shadow of his childhood self?

Probably like Gu Chen, he couldn't wait to stay far away from her!

"Say something!"

Wen Laibao was forced to tilt her head up, their faces less than ten centimeters apart, close enough to clearly count the long, thick eyelashes on his eyelids, his cold breath spraying on her face like fermenting hormones, filled with intoxicating masculine charm.

Her heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated, no woman could remain composed under such a man.

Mu Bai suddenly let go of her, Lai Bao secretly sighed in relief, feigning composure, "Didn't I save your life once?"

"Did you? When did that happen?"

It seemed that Mu Bai didn't quite like being reminded of that incident, his eyes grew colder, "I don't remember that."

"How can you not remember, it was in the elementary school swimming pool, I saved you."

Wen Laibao didn't expect him to be so shameless. What did he say when she saved him back then: Wen Laibao, you saved my life, I can fulfill three of your wishes?

She still remembered his proud demeanor when he said those words, and now he denied knowing her!
