Volume 2, No More Than Thirty Chapter 76 Sad Wang Manni
As night fell, the whole city gradually lit up. Yuan Xudong sat on the sofa in the living room and sent a WeChat message to Zhu Suosuo, saying that he had something urgent to do and would stay out tonight and would not go back. He asked her and Jiang Nansun to go to bed early.
Without waiting for Zhu Suosuo to reply, Wang Manni, who was standing on the balcony overlooking the night view, looked back at him and greeted him excitedly:
"Yuan Xudong, come here quickly, it's getting light outside!"
"Wait a moment, I 'll be there soon !"
After that, seeing Zhu Suosuo reply on WeChat, Yuan Xudong put away his phone, walked to the balcony, hugged Wang Manni from behind, who was jumping and pointing at the tall buildings outside, and said with a smile:
"Like it?"
"like!"
Nodding slightly, she nestled in Yuan Xudong's arms, holding his hands, and looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside. Wang Manni's eyes were hazy, and she murmured to herself like a dream:
"I never realized that the city I live in could be so beautiful and charming. It was like a dream. Just a day ago, I was living in a rental house from the last century, dreaming of buying a house in Shanghai and settling down there.
Now I am standing in the top luxury house and looking at the night view of the whole city. I have been in Shanghai for eight years and never dreamed that I could live in such a house. Can you understand my feeling now? "
"I understand. Of course I understand. Everyone has the right to dream. A good life is what everyone aspires to!"
After that, he kissed Wang Manni's neck and comforted her softly:
"The world is so big, and there are countless beautiful sights. In the next few decades, I will walk with you, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you can go wherever you want. Every day is a brand new day."
Listening to Yuan Xudong's sweet words, Wang Manni stretched out her fair neck for him to kiss, squinting her eyes and moaning:
"I want to invite Nancy and the others to our home. Is that okay tonight?"
"No problem. You are responsible for contacting them and I will be responsible for ordering food. By the way, how many people are there? What do they like to eat? Most importantly, what do you like to eat?"
Letting go of the panting Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong teased her:
"I'll give you some more nutrition. After all, you have to work in the store during the day and wait on me when you come back at night. It's really hard."
After rolling her eyes at Yuan Xudong, Wang Manni opened her WeChat account to contact Nancy while explaining to Yuan Xudong:
"There are four of us in total. They can eat anything and are not picky about food. I am not picky about food either. In order to save money, we all eat boxed lunches. Eating a boxed lunch can save ten yuan, which means we can save hundreds of yuan a month!"
Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong called the property management downstairs and asked them to help order a table of six people for food and wine. When he finished the call, Wang Manni hugged his arm and smiled:
"I told Nancy that they won't be off work for a while. How should I introduce you when they get here?"
After scratching Wang Manni's nose, Yuan Xudong smiled and joked:
"Just tell them that I'm your long-lost brother, and now we've met each other as siblings, and we'll live under the same roof from now on."
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Wang Manni hugged his neck, hung on him like a koala, and swayed coquettishly, saying:
"How can there be a brother like you? We..."
Before Wang Manni could finish speaking, a cell phone rang. Yuan Xudong took out his phone and took a look. The caller ID showed "girlfriend". Wang Manni, who was hanging on him, could naturally see the word "girlfriend". She let go of Yuan Xudong's neck, took the initiative to leave the balcony and walked back to the living room, looking a little unnatural.
After Wang Manni left, Yuan Xudong pressed the answer button and said:
"Suosuo, what's the matter?"
"Okay, I got it, I'll be there right away!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
"It's okay, my business is not important, don't worry, I will protect Nansun!"
"Bye-Bye!"
Putting away his phone, Yuan Xudong walked back to the living room and saw Wang Manni sitting on the sofa. He walked over and hugged her to comfort her for a while, saying apologetically:
"Nini, I can't stay with you tonight. Please let Nancy stay with you. I have something to take care of."
“Hmm~~”
Wang Manni nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, looked up at Yuan Xudong who was holding her and said hesitantly:
"Did something happen to Miss Zhu?"
"No, it's something else. I'm leaving now. Please apologize to Nancy and the others for me. I'll treat them to a meal next time. You should take more rest. If you have anything, please contact me on WeChat. Bye!"
Shaking his head slightly, Yuan Xudong let go of Wang Manni, kissed her on the forehead, then stood up and walked out of the house to leave. Wang Manni sent him out while reminding him:
"Drive safely, I'll be waiting for you at home, bye!"
"I understand. Go back now. Bye!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong leave in the elevator, Wang Manni walked back into the house alone. Looking at the luxuriously decorated duplex mansion, she didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. She now had the big house she had always dreamed of, but she was still alone. She didn't even have the courage to ask the man she loved to stay.
As time passed, the property management downstairs brought up the table of food and wine ordered by Yuan Xudong. Nancy and the others followed them into the house. After the property management staff left, they looked around the luxuriously decorated mansion and chattered around Wang Manni:
"Nini, why are you inviting us to dinner here?"
“Is this the house you rented?”
"This is my first time entering such a mansion. In the past, when I delivered clothes or exchanged goods, I just had to wait at the door without even a glass of water."
"I know what happened, Nini, can I tell everyone? Please, I'm so uncomfortable!"
Giving Nancy a blank look, Wang Manni called everyone to the restaurant and said with a smile:
"Everyone, please sit down. We'll eat and talk at the same time. You can't leave until you vomit tonight!"
Everyone sat around the table, looking at the long table with six Western meals and red wine on it. Mas asked curiously:
"Nini, there are only five of us. Why did you order six Western meals?"
"I know I know!"
Rolling her eyes at Nancy who was impatient, Wang Manni said directly:
"The other one is for my boyfriend. He had to go out for something, so he asked me to apologize to you. I'll treat you to a good meal next time when I have time!"
Seeing Wang Manni said it herself, Nancy couldn't wait to say:
"You all know Nini's boyfriend. He's Mr. Yuan, the one who spent four million to customize high-end jewelry. Are you surprised?"
Seeing that everyone was hesitant to speak, Wang Manni glared at Nancy and said calmly:
"You are all my best friends. Just say whatever you want to say. Nancy is right. My boyfriend's name is Yuan Xudong. He is Mr. Yuan who ordered high-end jewelry in our store."
Seeing Wang Manni talking, the sissy Mas blurted out:
"Nini, isn't Mr. Yuan's girlfriend Miss Zhu? How come you two are boyfriend and girlfriend..."
Before Mas could finish, Ada nudged him with her elbow and changed the subject:
"Nini, what's the matter with this house? Does Mr. Yuan live here, or did he rent it for you?"
Glancing at Ada, Wang Manni smiled and said:
"The house I rented before was quite far from here . It took me more than two hours to commute to work every day by bus or subway. He felt sorry for me, so he bought this house nearby for me to move in. He just bought the house this morning, and the VIP card was given to him by the property management."
Hearing Wang Manni say this, Nancy smiled and teased her:
"Nini, Mr. Yuan is planning to keep his mistress in his golden house, so that you will never escape from his clutches for the rest of your life."
Before Wang Manni could open her mouth to refute, Zoe took a sip of red wine and said:
"For people in our line of work, we are greeted and sent off by rich people every day when we go to work. We become wild after seeing so many of them. We don't want to find an ordinary boyfriend. As a result, we end up with someone neither high nor low. Nini, I support you. You should seize the opportunity. You can't kneel on the ground and help others put on shoes and try on clothes for the rest of your life, right?"
Nodding slightly, Wang Manni said in a complicated voice:
"This city is full of dreams and temptations. How many people come to this city every day, and how many people leave. Year after year, graduates want to stay, and workers want to stay. It's like a glass of water, which will always overflow when it is full.
We can only work hard to dig down and gain weight so as not to be squeezed out. I have been in this city for eight years, but I still have no sense of belonging and I don’t know where my future lies, until I met Mr. Yuan.
Do you know? I fainted in my rental house last night and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. When I was lying on the bed crying secretly, Mr. Yuan came in. He helped me wipe my tears and stayed with me. From that moment on, I knew he was the man I had been waiting for.
Although we were only together for one day, I had already fallen in love with him. I knew he had a girlfriend, but I couldn’t help but agree to be his girlfriend. I knew it was wrong to do so, and I was not a good woman, I…”
Looking at Wang Manni with red eyes, Nancy couldn't help but comfort her:
"Nini, we are having this meal today to celebrate. No matter what, your life is getting better and better. You can live in such a big house. Many people envy you. Even if there is a mistake, it is Mr. Yuan's fault. You just fell in love with a bad man. Besides, as long as he is not married, you and Miss Zhu are in fair competition. We don't know who will win in the end!"
Looking at Nancy who was comforting her randomly, Wang Manni burst out laughing, restrained her emotions slightly, raised her glass and invited him to drink:
"Today is a happy day, let's not talk about these sad things. I wish me well to move into such a big house, and I also wish each of you to find your own place in this city. Let's drink!"
"cheers!"
