Wen Shuyue looked more overwhelming with the red lipstick and the fine make-up. "Revenge?" asked Wen Shuyue as her eyes abruptly turned gloomy, "are you even worth it?" Her sharp tone was like a dagger thrusting to Lu Junhan's heart.
It sounded like she was talking about some useless rubbish.
The man in front of her wasn't even worth mentioning.
Lu Junhan gritted his teeth and his beautiful eyes were filled with cruelty. All of a sudden, his eyes glistened and the corner of his mouth curved up with a flicker of viciousness. "Wen Shuyue, you had nothing intriguing five years ago, but you do now."
Back then, Wen Shuyue was as dull as a dead fish, and touching her wouldn't even arouse a bit of desire in him.
The year after they got married, Lu Junhan never entered their bedroom. After he got what he wanted, he even kicked her out mercilessly and turned to embrace Qin Weiwei.
But now, Wen Shuyue became as charming as a red rose.
Men were possessive, especially about something they lost, no matter they liked it or not...
"I wouldn't have divorced you," said Lu Junhan with a little regret, "if you had been that intriguing five years ago." In that case, he wouldn't have let her go out of sexual needs.
"Shame on you," said Wen Shuyue as her eyes glowed with anger.
She took a step back with alert in her eyes. "Lu Junhan, I'm warning you, keep away from me."
She must have been blinded when marrying this perfidious man.
It also came with a painful price.
Now, Wen Shuyue felt nothing about Lu Junhan but hatred, and wished he was dead.
Even sharing the same space and air with him made her sick!
"Lu Junhan, turnabout is fair play," Wen Shuyue said word by word with a meaningful look in her dark eyes, "someday I'll make things difficult for you."
When Lu Junhan heard her words, he was astonished. He didn't expect Wen Shuyue returned as a successful woman only a few years later. He should have kicked her out also with her mother. At the thought of that, he abruptly turned sullen and changed the subject, "Don't you wonder where your mother is?"
"What do you mean?"
Wen Shuyue frowned. Since she had Xiaolu search for her mother on the day she came back, there had been no progress. It turned out that Lu Junhan had kept her mother away from her and used it as his trump card. "What did you do to her?" asked Wen Shuyue.
"Your mother treated me so well, how could I treat her badly? Instead, I've spared no effort to take care of her in the last five years. But her daughter has exercised no duty at all..."
"Think it over, I've spared no effort to take care of your mother, but you stole my business. Shuyue, what if you were me? Would you stop the medicine and let the disease torture your mother to death out of anger?"
"Lu Junhan, don't you dare!"
"Why don't I dare? Your mother's life is now in my hands."
Wen Shuyue boiled with anger, and Lu Junhan smirked at her as shamelessly as usual. When she turned round, he said with a flicker of coldness in his eyes, "The Lu Group must close the deal this time. If you want your mother back, follow my words, quit the competition."
"Lu Junhan, don't ever think about it!" Wen Shuyue gritted her teeth and buried her nails into the palm of her hands.
"Then your mother will die."
Five years after they separated, Lu Junhan was still her mentor in terms of being shameless and ungrateful.
When he was down and out in the past, the Wen family gave him hope and offered him a job in the business circle.
However, he encroached on the shares of the Wen family step by step and even threatened Wen Shuyue with her critically sick mother.
Wen Shuyue found it hard to imagine what could be more abominable than what he did. Her eyes glowed with both anger and a touch of contempt.
However, Lu Junhan disregarded any of those and got what he wanted by hook or by crook. Before turning round to leave, he straightened out his back and left the words coldly, "Think it over."
"You creep."
Wen Shuyue stamped her foot fiercely but she wasn't even a threat to Lu Junhan.
She was lost in mind.
"How are you guys connected to each other?"
A low voice broke the silence.
Before Wen Shuyue realized, He Siming stood behind her with a cold expression and mysterious eyes.
"Mr. He."
The sight of He Siming terrified Wen Shuyue out of her wits so that her mind went blank and his question slipped her mind.
Perceiving her blankness, He Siming reminded her unusually with patience, "I mean you and Lu Junhan."
Wen Shuyue put on a gloomy look in her eyes. As she recalled what happened five years ago, all sorts of feelings surged up. She said in a self-deprecating tone, "There's a life-or-death struggle between us. The major purpose of my return is to ruin his reputation."
Wen Shuyue didn't intend to lie to He Siming. Although she met him only a few times, she couldn't help telling him what she had in mind. Perhaps it was because she had been suppressed for too long.
She was eager to find someone to talk to and He Siming accidentally became the best option.
With an increasingly intent look in his eyes, He Siming didn't appear a bit surprised at her confession. All of a sudden, he moved close to her and his uniquely handsome face magnified in Wen Shuyue's eyes.
"Mr. He..."
"So that's why you want the deal?"
Wen Shuyue found the light cologne on He Siming pleasantly refreshing, and her face rarely flushed as his hot breath came to her face.
The distance between them was too close.
Though Wen Shuyue was once married, she had never been that physically close with a man apart from that night. When He Siming moved close to her, she was at a loss and subconsciously pushed him away by the chest.
On touching his warm body, she rapidly withdrew her hand and her pupils constricted.
"Hmm?"
He Siming spoke calmly with coldness in his squinting eyes.
He was a total wild card. After Wen Shuyue presented the project, he even didn't speak it out that he was satisfied with it.
But here came another chance, didn't it?
Wen Shuyue soon hid her shyness and her eyes glistened. She threw her soft arms around the man's neck and whispered with her lips moving closer, "Of course not, I want you this time."
Her words made the atmosphere lustful enough to arouse the erotic impulse.
He Siming was astonished by Wen Shuyue's boldness. But soon, she stepped back swiftly and kept some distance between them. She said with an elegant and polite smile, "I believe, no one is willing to lose a collaborative partner who is courageous and capable. The He Group is the entrance to the domestic market for MK, and you are the promise of my position in MK."
Her explanation was quite straightforward.
Wen Shuyue revealed her motive in an unexpectedly adorable way.
With a mysterious look in his eyes, He Siming condescendingly squinted at Wen Shuyue. All of a sudden, he put her into his arms, bent down and said leisurely, "But it seems your son prefers you to be my lady instead of my collaborative partner."
"Ahem..."
Unusually, Wen Shuyue turned hostile. As she expected, her son put her into trouble again, so she smiled and said with embarrassment, "He's just a kid. Don't take his words seriously."
"But... I do," He Siming said casually as he soothed her black hair in a good mood.
The aroma of milk instead of thick perfume on Wen Shuyue gave him the impulse to kiss her.
"Lub-dub..."
Wen Shuyue found it weird to have the erotic impulse as a mother. She swallowed secretly, looking as if she had placed her head in the lion's mouth.
As the atmosphere became more lustful, a flush mounted to Wen Shuyue's brows.
"Mommy, sir, is that a game?"
Lucky her.
Wen Baobao's appearance happened to ease Wen Shuyue's embarrassment and melt the lustful atmosphere...
