After getting married, I could hear the thoughts and feelings of my wife's best friends.

Two minutes later, Zheng Yongna sent another message.

"Don't you want me to go?"

"Let's go together, I've been missing you too."

Lu Chen's mind raced; he knew that the matter wasn't about whether to go or not, but about his attitude.

Sure enough, Jung Yong-na sent a happy emoji.

"Honey, I knew you were the best. See you on Saturday. Eat lots of nutritious food."

Chapter 128 Meeting Chen Man

Eat more nutritious food...

That sounds a bit strange...

In Lu Chen's mind, he would accompany Wei Ping to the countryside the day after tomorrow. If Zheng Yongna also came along, the two of them would have no time to bother him.

Therefore, this nutritional supplement is optional...

But Jung Yong-na still said... then there can only be one possibility.

She's going to come secretly.

But then a problem arises: what if Wei Ping also sneaks in? They can't all come together, can they?

If you can't resolve a dilemma on your own, then it's very difficult.

After much deliberation, Lu Chen decided to take it one step at a time. He put down his phone, held Gu Nanyin in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, after Lu Chen arrived at the company, he brought Xia Yu and Yun Feina with him, and Yang Xueli was in charge of driving.

The destination of this trip is a relatively important banquet in City A.

Gu Nanyin was originally supposed to go, but she has always refused to attend various banquets.

So this matter fell to Lu Chen, since he has a good image and can represent Xinglan.

The car stopped in front of the banquet hall. After getting out of the car, Lu Chen led the three women into the banquet hall.

to be frank.

This was his first time attending a banquet, and he was a little nervous.

Yang Xueli, who was standing next to him, was very good at reading people's expressions. After seeing a hint of panic flash in Lu Chen's eyes, she whispered, "Baby, just relax. Don't say anything when you go in. Just act like you're a moviegoer."

Lu Chen replied in a low voice, "Your analogy... is quite good."

After entering the banquet hall, Lu Chen and his three companions were led by the ushers to their pre-booked seats.

However, after Lu Chen sat down, he saw that Yang Xueli and the others had gone elsewhere.

Yang Xueli explained, "This is where the host sits; the three of us should sit over there."

She pointed to a spot, only two or three rows away from Lu Chen.

After Yang Xueli and the others left, several people sat down next to Lu Chen.

Just then, a voice tinged with delight rang in his ear: "Lu Chen? What are you doing here?"

Lu Chen turned his head and found that the person talking to him was actually Chen Man.

Today she wore a peacock blue fitted long dress, her hair was pulled back, and her delicate face was only lightly made up, which perfectly embodied the words "mature woman".

"Sister Man, please sit down."

Lu Chen patted the spot next to him.

After Chen Man sat down, the two of them leaned closer to talk.

"Mother."

Lu Chen called her name softly.

A look of surprise flashed in Chen Man's eyes, and she lowered her voice to reply, "Stop it! Don't call me Mom...you child."

Lu Chen chuckled: "Sister Man, you look so glamorous today, you're practically a mom, of course I have to call you that."

Chen Man rolled her eyes dramatically: "That doesn't mean we should call it that now..."

Lu Chen smiled and changed the subject; he was just teasing Chen Man.

Although she is a mature and beautiful woman, she is not quite at the level of a mother; at most, she is at the level of an older sister.

If you really want to talk about mothers, you have to look to Wei Ping; that kind of charm can't be faked.

Lu Chen asked the question he was most concerned about: "Sister Man, where have you been lately?"

Chen Man smiled, but the smile was somewhat bitter. She glanced at Lu Chen…

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired lately."

Should I tell them that I'm going through a divorce and my life is a complete mess...?

Sigh! I don't want to pass on all this negativity to him, but I really want to talk to someone...

Is that how it is?

Lu Chen understood most of it; it seemed that Chen Man was very vulnerable right now.

But isn't this also an opportunity for me?

Thinking of this,

Lu Chen slowly spoke up: "Sister Man, shall we find some time to talk?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of emotion flashed in Chen Man's eyes. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's attend the opening ceremony of the banquet first."

Lu Chen nodded in agreement, and the two didn't exchange any more words.

Because of Chen Man's special status, and because there are photographers everywhere, she naturally can't be too unrestrained in her speech and actions.

Not long after.

The banquet officially began, but Lu Chen only watched for a short while before finding it extremely boring…

Of course, excluding the tall and slender host.

After the opening ceremony, the so-called "upper class" present began to mingle in small groups.

Chen Man also stood up and extended her hand to Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, come with me for a walk."

She meant she wanted to link arms with Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked around and asked in a low voice, "Sister Man, I brought someone with me today, and... won't it cause misunderstandings if we're arm in arm?"

Chen Man scoffed and, without a care for losing face, said directly, "If Su Tian can find a mistress, what's wrong with me holding hands and dancing with a handsome guy?"

"Hmm...you said you brought someone with you? Who is it? It's not my daughter, is it?"

Lu Chen gave an awkward laugh: "Uh, how could that be!"

Done.

He waved to Yang Xueli, Xia Yu, and Yun Feina.

The three of them came over when they saw this.

Yang Xueli stepped forward, took Lu Chen's arm, and then nodded to Chen Man.

"Hello, Mrs. Su."

Although Xia Yu and Yun Feina did not know Chen Man's identity, they could tell from her flawless skin, beautiful face, and elegant demeanor that she was someone of high status and position.

Not daring to be negligent, he quickly called out, "Madam Su."

Chen Man's eyes quickly swept over Lu Chen's arm, which Yang Xueli was holding, and then she gave a dignified and proper smile.

"Hello, it's like this, Lu Chen and I need to find a place to talk about some things, would it be convenient for you to leave for a moment?"

Chen Man spoke.

It's estimated that no one present would refuse.

Yang Xueli was slightly taken aback and released Lu Chen's arm.

"Uh...hehe, Mrs. Su, you two talk business, we'll go over there."

After speaking, Yang Xueli gestured to Xia Yu and Yun Feina with her eyes.

After the three left.

Lu Chen followed Chen Man to a private room.

This scene must have been captured by a cameraman.

But Chen Man didn't care at all... As for Lu Chen, he cared even less.

After closing the door.

Chen Man seemed to collapse, throwing herself into Lu Chen's arms and sobbing.

Lu Chen quickly helped her up. It wasn't that he didn't want to hold such a beauty, but Chen Man's makeup couldn't be ruined!

"Alright, alright, Sister Man, tell me what's wrong with you."

Lu Chen took out a tissue and gently dabbed at Chen Man's tears.

Chen Man took a deep breath and spoke all the words that had been bottled up in her heart for a long time.

"Lu Chen... I've realized how miserable my life is, really..."

Uh!

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "Sister, don't you want to listen to what you're saying? You grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth, and you still say you have a miserable life?"

but.

Lu Chen guessed that the "misery" Chen Man mentioned was a different kind of suffering, the kind of pain where one cannot control one's own life.

Is Chapter 129 not fake?

Lu Chen knew what he was about to do, so he reached out and gently patted Chen Man's back.

“Sister Man, I understand you. You just want a life of your own. I understand you, really.”

"Um…"

Chen Man sobbed like a little girl: "Everyone envies me. I was born into a good family, married a good husband, and will never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of my life."

"But who can know what lies beneath this glamorous exterior? Who can understand me? Perhaps, only you can."

As the two drew closer, Chen Man looked up and met Lu Chen's gaze.

Eye to eye...

Just over ten seconds later, Chen Man leaned forward and kissed Lu Chen's lips.

Lu Chen immediately responded enthusiastically to her.

The two seemed to forget everything and began to kiss passionately.

A sweet exchange, and ambiguity escalates.

Lu Chen grunted and pressed Chen Man down onto the sofa, lifting up her expensive evening gown.

The suspender stockings wrapped around her long, slender legs, and Lu Chen reached out and touched them.

Chen Man shuddered and rested her arm on the back of the sofa.

Followed by.

Lu Chen raised his hands, piercing through layers of barriers, and grasped the mountain.

Chen Man bit her lip, letting out a soft, ambiguous moan.

Lu Chen pulled her inner garment aside and was about to establish a signal connection when he saw Chen Man turn slightly to the side.
