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

Sitting in the Maybach again, Lin Mingmo felt a little calmer.

"Thank you," she said softly.

"Then you treat me later." Sheng Yuan said in a light voice.

Lin Mingmo frowned and teased in a relaxed manner, "Sheng Yuan, you are too stingy."

Sheng Yuan looked displeased. "You didn't even praise me when I was generous, but you complained when I asked you to treat me... Who's the real stingy one? Hmm?"

"This is called being thrifty and frugal. My main goal is to not spend a penny in vain!" Lin Mingmo was frantically testing the limits of angering Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes, lowered his gaze, and covered it with his long eyelashes, looking both cold and distant, but also eccentric and sharp.

"So treating me to a meal is a waste of money for you?"

The momentum is intimidating.

Lin Mingmo wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her. She swallowed hard and said seriously, "I wouldn't dare. You helped me, so I should treat you to a meal as a thank you. This is basic etiquette."

As soon as she said it, Lin Mingmo regretted it.

She found that her relationship with Sheng Yuan was moving further and further towards ambiguity.

Intellectually, she knew that she should keep her distance from Sheng Yuan, but her actions were contrary to her thoughts.

She is falling...

The dark ink in Sheng Yuan's eyes gradually melted away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You know what you're interested in."

"From now on, you can call me A Yuan."

The low and silent voice hit Lin Mingmo's eardrums, and she suddenly felt hot and uncomfortable.

The corner of his mouth twitched as he refused sternly, "Ah...A Yuan? We're not that close yet!

After a moment of silence, Lin Mingmo said, "It's better to call you Sheng Yuan."

It is more appropriate to use both the first and last name.

Sheng Yuan didn't have any objection.

As long as it's not that annoying name, anything she calls her sounds good.

Sheng Yuan took Lin Mingmo to a different western restaurant.

After Lin Mingmo sat down, she immediately turned her head and looked at the bustling and dazzling night view of the city outside the glass window.

She was afraid that Sheng Yuan would see the blush on her face, and she was also afraid that her face would become even redder after seeing Sheng Yuan's face.

"Do we look like we're on a date?" Sheng Yuan teased deliberately.

Lin Mingmo's face became even hotter.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Sheng Yuan smiled but said nothing.

The diners in the restaurant were all couples, and the two of them blended in perfectly.

Ambiguous, yet a little awkward.

After some twists and turns, the dinner was finally finished.

Lin Mingmo's face was slightly hot and red throughout the whole process, and she couldn't control it.

After the meal, when Lin Mingmo went to pay the bill, she found out that Sheng Yuan had applied for a card here and the meal fee had been directly deducted from the card.

She is not generous and saves money whenever she can.

The cost of this meal was a whopping five figures. It was unclear whether they were eating dragon liver or phoenix marrow.

Lin Mingmo politely thanked Sheng Yuan, "...Thank you for treating me to dinner. I'll take a taxi back to the hotel by myself, so I won't bother you."

It was getting late, and after Lin Mingmo had eaten her fill, her chaotic thoughts returned to normal.

You still have to keep some distance from him.

After all, Sheng Yuan is a prominent figure in Jiangjin City. If someone takes a photo of them and posts it online, it would cause public outcry, which would not be good.

Having spent so much time with Lin Mingmo, Sheng Yuan is already satisfied.

He could feel that Lin Mingmo was gradually letting down her guard against him.

So, he is not greedy.

"Have you been staying in a hotel these days?" he asked knowingly.

Lin Mingmo nodded, "I really don't know where to go..."

I can't go back to the Sheng family mansion, and I can't go back to the Lin family either. As for the Sheng Yang family... I can't even think about it.

So it is more convenient to stay in a hotel. Although it is quiet, there will be no one to disturb you.

Sheng Yuan lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something.

After a long while, he waved gently, "Goodbye."

"Okay, goodbye." Lin Mingmo replied in a low voice.

That's goodbye.

It was obviously a normal thing, but she suddenly felt empty in her heart.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Mingmo still felt a little dizzy.

I didn't drink any alcohol, but I felt a little tipsy.

At this moment, Lin Mingmo just wanted to go back to bed.

At the door of the room, Lin Mingmo struggled to find the room card in the depths of her bag, unaware that danger was approaching.

Finally taking out the room card, Lin Mingmo put the card on the sensor, and it made a "ding" sound.

The door opened.

Lin Mingmo just raised her foot to step in, but suddenly a strong force came and pushed her back hard.

She lost her balance, fell forward, and fell into the room.

The man squeezed in through the door and locked it behind him.

"Lin Mingmo, is the date over? Aren't you so relaxed around Sheng Yuan? Why are you pretending to be so noble with me? You're so two-faced!"

It’s Lu Cheng’s voice!

Lin Mingmo didn't have time to think about how Lu Cheng knew she was staying in this hotel, nor did she have time to panic.

She stood up immediately, staring at Lu Cheng with vigilance, and backed away.

"Lu Cheng! Aren't you afraid that Sheng Zhenzhen will find out?"

Sheng Zhenzhen definitely didn't know that Lu Cheng had broken into her room at this time.

Lu Cheng looked down at Lin Mingmo with his eyes lowered, a scornful smile on his lips.

"You should worry about yourself first." Lu Cheng said, "Tell me, what would Sheng Yang think if he knew that you met with him privately so frequently?"

"This is the umpteenth time I've seen you and him alone together. Lin Mingmo, I'm afraid you and Sheng Yang don't meet this often, right?"

"What's it to you?" Lin Mingmo backed away until her back hit the window.

"What would the Sheng family think if they knew?" Lu Cheng sneered, "Not everyone is as open as Sheng Zhenzhen."

Lu Cheng showed the video copied from the restaurant surveillance to Lin Mingmo.

In the picture, the two people are sitting face to face, and under the atmospheric lighting of the restaurant, their eyes seem to be drawing.

Lin Mingmo didn't expect the scene to be so ambiguous, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

"Sheng Yuan and I were just discussing the charity auction gala." Lin Mingmo forced herself to remain calm. "I have a performance, and he just asked me what kind of stage effect I wanted."

"Being close is only temporary."

"Oh? Really?" Lu Cheng approached Lin Mingmo step by step, his narrow eyes emitting a cunning and indifferent light. "Lin Mingmo, I've seen the look in your eyes when you love someone."

"The way you look at Sheng Yuan is definitely not pure."

Lu Cheng's voice trembled a little.

"After all, before, that look of yours was always directed at me."

He tilted his head slightly, looking a little lonely.

He deeply regretted missing out on sixteen-year-old Lin Mingmo.

That's why he had to do whatever it takes to get 20-year-old Lin Mingmo.

A trace of panic flashed in Lin Mingmo's eyes. What a bullshit look! She didn't think the way she looked at Sheng Yuan was any different from the way she looked at others.

But she just clenched her fists and asked harshly, "Lu Cheng, stop being so disgusting! What on earth do you want to do by breaking into my room without permission and saying these things?"

Lu Cheng's eyes widened. "Do you know what I want?"

"Are you doing this to Sheng Zhenzhen? She loves you so much and she's pregnant with your child!" Lin Mingmo yelled angrily.

"Lin Mingmo, you don't need to consider others." Lu Cheng's voice turned cold again. "You only need to consider that if you reject me, this video will be seen by the Sheng family."

"Can you, or the Lin Group, withstand the Sheng family's retaliation?"

Lu Cheng accurately attacked Lin Mingmo's weakness.

"Lu Cheng, aren't you afraid that I will give up and tell Sheng Zhenzhen all your dirty thoughts?" Lin Mingmo stared at his hideous face fiercely.

"Hehe." Lu Cheng chuckled, "That idiot Sheng Zhenzhen...so what if she's the daughter of the Sheng family? I still played her around."
