After turning down the job, Lu Wanli stayed up for some time just scrolling through a group chat that she was in on the Sky empire.
Unknowingly, she dozed off and only woke up later to her phone ringing the next morning. Lu Wanli used her hand to search for the phone and then picked it without looking at the screen.
"Wanli!" A familiar voice rang from the other end of the phone and Lu Wanli stiffened immediately.
Her eyes flashed with coldness when she glanced down and saw the name displayed on her screen.
Han Yifan!
"Wanli, are you there?" Not hearing anything from the other end of the phone, Han Yifan called out again.
Lu Wanli cleared her throat gently. "What's the matter?"
There was an audible sigh from the other end of the phone. "Wanli, I got worried when I sent messages and you didn't respond. Would you still be able to make it?"
Lu Wanli's eyes squinted in confusion but she quickly remembered what matter he was talking about.
Today was the day that Han Yifan asked her out in the past.
At first, she wanted to turn him down but on second thought, she decided to go.
"Yes, I will be able to make it."
Han Yifan tried to talk about some causal topics for some more time but with her short replies, the call soon ended.
After saying that, Lu Wanli went to the bathroom to clean up.
She took the smaller black dress and it clung to her body accentuating her slender waist and curves.
Although her red hair still stuck out, with the black dress and her milky white skin, it didn't look too bad.
When she got downstairs, she saw that Mo Jingshen was dressed in his formal clothes and was having breakfast.
Chen Rui was standing behind him and looked at Lu Wanli as she walked downstairs.
Right now, his young madam looked gentle and aloof. Who would have imagined that she actually had such a wild side.
As he remembered his boss's words, he shook his head and turned his gaze away.
"Good morning," Lu Wanli greeted as she pulled a seat out.
She was usually not a breakfast person but she saw that the table had been set for two people.
After eating a dumpling, her eyes brightened and she looked at Mo Jingshen.
"Does the chef here follow you to the other apartment?"
Mo Jingshen held back a smile and shook his head.
"The chef that drops by over there is just as good," he added when he saw that her face fell at his words.
Lu Wanli nodded enthusiastically and then went on to continue eating.
After the table had been cleared, Chen Rui opened his briefcase and handed a document to Lu Wanli.
"The prenup and everything that needs to be covered is there. You can read it and let me know if you have any reservations."
Lu Wanli nodded, picked up the document then lazily leaned back on the chair to read through it.
Everything that she mentioned was clear and apart from having to attend some family occasions, she had no other obligations.
Her eyes fell on the last page.
[Not allowed to be with other people during the validity of the marriage documents] and she glanced up at Mo Jingshen.
Seeing that he was already working on his iPad, she held back her words and placed the document on the table.
"I'm fine with all the terms and conditions."
"You work on the weekends?" She finally asked.
"Most of them are meetings and social events. Do you have anywhere to be? If you don't, one of the drivers can take you to the other apartment later."
"I have to see someone close to my school in an hour so we can leave together."
She was planning to book a ride initially but seeing as he was planning to go out, the both of them left the house together.
Neither of them talked in the car ride.
Mo Jingshen was someone that would only talk if there was something important to handle or discuss and Lu Wanli didn't feel comfortable around him yet.
Now that things between them could be considered settled, the car ride was very quiet.
"What time would you be done?" Mo Jingshen asked and then realized that he didn't even have her number.
Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and handed it to her.
Lu Wanli punched her numbers in and returned the phone.
She saw that although the phone he had used for a call yesterday was from a popular brand, this gold and black phone looked extremely lowkey and rare.
After calling her number, Mo Jingshen returned the phone to his inner pocket.
"Once I'm done with my friend, I plan to hang out for some time and get some random things done…" She paused and thought over things.
"How about you call me when you are done, I'll send my location. Or you can send me the address and I'll go there myself."
Mo Jingshen nodded. Just as she was about to get down, she felt a hand hold her wrist gently.
"Hold on to this card. It's your right as Mrs Mo, Lu Wanli."
Unlike yesterday, his tone was firm and gave no room for argument.
Lu Wanli nodded and took the black card from his hands.
"Thank you, Mr Mo."
Mo Jingshen's brows furrowed lightly. He wanted to correct her but at the same time, the door had been open for quite a while.
Eventually, he just let it be. But when he saw that the girl that had sat stiffly all the way suddenly laughed so brightly when she got down, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Once she got down, Chen Rui started the car and drove off.
"Young Master, the elite team informed me that they have finished the new firewall. Should we begin the switch?" Chen Rui asked.
Mo Jingshen pinched the space between his eyebrows lightly before replying.
"Let them hold on for a while. Best to see if we can lure the person out."
Chen Rui was confused and wanted to ask what his Young Master's thoughts were but Mo Jingshen beat him to it.
"Release the news about the competition by Monday."
