Chapter – 75
 Stirring Up Trouble for the Fun of It
After saying that, she turned her head to look at An Yao, pretending to be surprised. âOh, Miss An is here too? I didnât even notice you just now.â
An Yao smiled faintly. âWhat a coincidence.â
Qiao Le kept smiling on the surface but rolled her eyes inwardly. Whoâs coincidentally running into you?
After separating from Qiao Le, Mu Wanwan rejoined Zheng Hao and the others. Zheng Hao led her around to greet several CEOs of major corporations. After making the rounds, her feet were aching terribly.
She rarely wore such high heels. After only a short while, she could barely manage. If she kept walking, she would definitely end up with blisters by the time she got home.
After informing Zheng Hao, Mu Wanwan walked alone to the lounge area and sat down on a sofa to rest.
Under the dazzling lights, her light aqua gown accentuated her cool and refined aura. Her delicate features were only lightly made up, yet she was stunning. Her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, with a few playful strands brushing against her ears, adding a touch of lively charm.
A woman like her was undoubtedly the target of many wealthy young men present.
âWanwan, looks like youâve got great luck in romance tonight. How about I act as your shield? Be my date for the evening?â Fu Dong walked over, scaring off the man who was trying to chat Mu Wanwan up, then casually sat down beside her.
An Yao smiled gently. âWanwan is so beautifulâitâs only natural that people pursue her. Actually, Fu Dong and Wanwan look quite compatible. Lu LiâŚâ
What did she mean by saying his thinking was old-fashioned?
Qiao Le chuckled. âNo thanks, donât give me face. I canât handle that kind of pressure.â
Knowing full well the relationship between Mu Wanwan and Lu Li, yet deliberately saying such thingsâand right in front of Lu Li tooâshe really had the nerve.
âIâm happy to. Whatâs it to you?â Qiao Le snorted, flicked her hair, and left him with a dashing back view.
Mu Wanwan had barely sat down and hadnât even had a sip of water before several men approached her. With an indifferent expression, she dismissed them in just a few words.
Even so, the stream of men trying to strike up a conversation with her was endless.
Huo Zheng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Catching sight of the darkness in Lu Liâs eyes, he immediately said, âHow could that be? Wanwan is a year older than Fu Dong.â
Halfway through speaking, he turned to Huo Zheng and asked, âFu Dongâs gone over too. Do you think he has feelings for our Wanwan?â
After driving people away, Qiao Le smiled in satisfaction. Huo Zhengâs voice sounded beside her. âYou really love stirring up trouble, donât you?â
Countless eyes around them were watching. An Yao snorted coldly and, without arguing with her, turned and left.
Huo Zhengâs lips twitched.
An Yao glanced at Qiao Le, suppressing the anger in her eyes. âQiao Le, Iâm giving you face. Donât think Iâm easy to bully.â
She suddenly muttered to herself, âOur Wanwan really is popularâwherever she goes, handsome men surround her.â
ââŚâŚâ
âSo what if sheâs a year older? Older-woman-younger-man relationships are trendy now. Besides, in love, what does age matter? Why are your ideas still so outdated?â Qiao Le shot back.
Qiao Le moved closer to her and clicked her tongue. âSome people can scheme all they want and still end up with nothing. What should they do then?â
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Li put down his glass and walked straight past her. The smile on An Yaoâs face froze as she watched him head toward Mu Wanwan. The hand holding her wine glass tightened.
Other socialites nearby looked at Mu Wanwan with unmistakable jealousy.
Qiao Le held a glass of champagne, occasionally taking a sip. Seeing the tense expression on Lu Liâs face from the corner of her eye, her mischievous instincts began to stir.
Mu Wanwan accepted the champagne he handed her, a faint smile curling at her lips. âNot interested.â
Fu Dong raised an eyebrow when Lu Liâs voice suddenly sounded from behind him. âFu Dong, how about Huo Zheng being your date?â
His icy tone struck like thunder.
Fu Dong froze on the spot. A chill rose from the soles of his feet and spread through his entire body.
