Wrong marriage! The black-bellied uncle wants a legitimate status every day

at noon.

Yunli Restaurant.

Lin Mingmo rushed over as agreed with Sheng Yuan last night.

This is a quiet and quaint garden-style private kitchen restaurant. I heard that the owner here is a person with a strange temper, but his cooking skills are excellent.

Even though he has many strange rules, there is still a constant stream of diners who come here to eat.

But it’s very difficult to make a reservation here. Not only do you need money, but it also depends on the boss’s mood.

Lin Mingmo once tried to make an appointment, but was ruthlessly rejected.

She was so angry that she posted an 800-word complaint on social media using her second account, which went quite viral.

Stepping into the quaint garden gate, Lin Mingmo looked around and found that the scenery here was indeed beautiful.

The waiter came over, asked for the reservation information, and then led Lin Mingmo to the reserved box.

Sheng Yuan has arrived.

The moment the door was opened, he raised his head, and his handsome face caught Lin Mingmo's eyes.

This face is so beautiful that it is impeccable.

Even though Lin Mingmo thought she hated him, she still felt embarrassed the moment she saw him.

It’s a pity that Sheng Yuan is not a good person at heart despite his beautiful appearance.

If Lin Mingmo didn't need anything from him, she wouldn't want to have any contact with him.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Lin Mingmo stepped in.

The door of the box was closed, isolating a quiet and ambiguous space.

Lin Mingmo suddenly felt the heat rising and her cheeks felt a little hot.

She fanned her face with her hands while making a subtle comment: "The air conditioning in this place is terrible. I wonder how the owner here can have the nerve to act so arrogantly?"

Sheng Yuan stared at her until she sat down, then he suddenly revealed her thoughts, "You saw that I was shy."

"Nonsense...what nonsense!" Lin Mingmo retorted with a frown.

Sheng Yuan looked around and said, "This kind of environment is perfect for a date. Speaking of which, this is the first time I've come to a place like this alone with another woman..."

"You say... do we look like we're cheating on each other now?"

Sheng Yuan leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between him and Lin Mingmo.

A pair of dark and bottomless eyes looked at the opposite side quietly.

Lin Mingmo's face turned visibly red.

Her lips parted slightly, shocked but speechless.

Sheng Yuan refuted his own words, "No, it doesn't count. After all, you and Sheng Yang haven't even got a marriage certificate, so how can you be considered a couple?"

"Stop talking!" Lin Mingmo said with a stern face, "Sheng Yuan, I have something to ask of you, but that doesn't mean you can ridicule me like this!"

Her face was red and her cheeks were slightly puffed, which made her look much cuter than her usual cold appearance.

Lin Mingmo certainly knew that it was dangerous for her to meet Sheng Yuan alone.

It all depends on Sheng Yuan's conscience.

Sheng Yuan didn't know what was wrong with him. He couldn't help teasing Lin Mingmo. Seeing that she was really angry, he restrained his expression and became serious.

Seeing this, Lin Mingmo stopped pursuing the matter, calmed down, and said, "Sheng Yuan, today's meal will be my treat, and I'll settle the meal I owe you."

"Okay." Sheng Yuan refused disrespectfully.

Then, the box fell silent again.

Lin Mingmo lowered her head and looked at the patterns on the wooden table.

She could feel Sheng Yuan's burning gaze on her.

For a long time.

"Who is Xiaoqi?" Lin Mingmo suddenly asked.

Actually, the main reason I came here today was to learn about Sheng Yang.

But ever since she heard about the name "Xiao Qi" from Old Lady Sheng this morning, Lin Mingmo couldn't stop thinking about her.

She was very curious about who "Xiao Qi" was and why Sheng Yuan had such an expression on his face.

"No comment." Sheng Yuan refused to answer.

He held up the teacup to block the lower half of his face, but the gloom between his brows still showed.

"First love?" Lin Mingmo didn't give up and continued to guess.

"Lin Mingmo, she is just a person who will never have any intersection with you, why do you want to ask about her?" Sheng Yuan frowned, narrowed his eyes, and his cold eyes fell directly on Lin Mingmo's face.

Very imposing.

Lin Mingmo unconsciously shrugged her shoulders.

"Also, just because I only agreed to tell you about Sheng Yang today doesn't mean you can pry into my privacy wantonly. I have the right to tell you, and I also have the right not to tell you."

His deep voice was extremely cold, as if he had a piece of ice in his mouth.

"Okay." Lin Mingmo responded weakly, "I won't ask anymore."

It was just a little curiosity at first.

Lin Mingmo would not be interested in anything about him.

will not!

Her nose was red as she tried to suppress her emotions.

Sheng Yuan's deep eyes darkened slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps it was because of Lin Mingmo's inexplicable concern that Sheng Yuan was a little touched.

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the waiter knocked on the door of the private room and told the two that the food could be served now.

Lin Mingmo suddenly felt saved and asked the waiter to serve the food immediately.

One by one, delicious dishes were brought in, and the fragrance filled the air instantly.

Sheng Yuan and Lin Mingmo were both silent, and neither of them picked up their chopsticks.

The last dish was served and the waiter closed the door of the private room again as he left.

"The woman Sheng Yang likes is called He Manman." Sheng Yuan suddenly said, "She is the daughter of the driver who used to pick up Sheng Yang in the Sheng family."

Lin Mingmo sat up straight and looked at Sheng Yuan with a serious expression.

Sheng Yuan tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the outstretched branch outside the window. He spoke calmly, "The driver violated the rules and took his own daughter with him while picking up Sheng Yang. That's how they met."

"Oh...childhood sweethearts." Lin Mingmo replied.

Sheng Yuan glanced at her and saw a hint of sadness lingering in the corners of her eyes. He asked, "Are you thinking of Lu Cheng?"

Lin Mingmo shuddered and frowned in disgust, "Why are you talking about him?"

Sheng Yuan raised the corners of his lips and continued, "Ayang and He Manman were about seventeen or eighteen years old. They fell in love and got together."

"But He Manman is just the driver's daughter. You know, the daughter-in-law the Sheng family wants is definitely not like this."

Lin Mingmo frowned even deeper, and couldn't help but complain: "The rich are always worried that others will despise the poor and favor the rich, but in fact, they are the ones who despise the poor and favor the rich the most."

Sheng Yuan's eyes flashed, unable to refute.

"There's more to it than that," Sheng Yuan continued. "The driver was called in at short notice to take my second brother's grandson to equestrian lessons, but he got into an accident and the child... died."

"The Sheng family has always suspected that an enemy bribed the driver to deliberately cause the accident... In short, although there is no definite evidence, there are still many doubts."

"Hiss——" Lin Mingmo took a breath of cold air.

With this factor in mind, it's no wonder that Sheng Yang wants to hide his relationship with He Manman.

Lin Mingmo lowered her eyes and thought about what her future path should be.

At present, Sheng Yang does not dare to break up with the Sheng family and completely leave the Sheng family. He can only reluctantly cooperate with me to play the role of husband and wife and pretend in front of the Sheng family.

But...what then?
