Chapter 25 I like his youth and good health
Shang Wanwan took a taxi to the tea restaurant where she had agreed to meet Li Luo.
She didn't let the driver take her there, as she was tired of the suffocation that came with being Mrs. Huo and having lost her freedom a long time ago.
She used to think it was exclusive pampering.
Now I realize it is nothing more than surveillance and control.
The waiter led her to Li Luo's seat.
After she sat down, she saw Jin Jingxiao's car slowly leaving through the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling window.
Li Luo followed him with his gaze until he disappeared before he looked at Shang Wanwan seriously.
"You've gained some weight."
Li Luo reached out and pinched her pink face.
Shang Wanwan has maintained her figure for the past three years, and I thought she had some secret.
In fact, I just didn’t live well and couldn’t eat.
"She's growing fast in my belly, Li Luo. I'm afraid I can't wait much longer."
Huo Dongming was still pestering her and she had no way of getting away.
"Why do you want a divorce?"
Li Luo ordered a cup of milk tea for her and a cup of oolong for himself.
Shang Wanwan looked at the milky white liquid in front of her that exuded a strong fragrance.
"I don't want my child and I to become victims of his love affair with Yi Xiaxue."
Li Luo wanted to smoke, but there was a pregnant woman sitting in front of him so he had to endure it.
"If I were you, I would first use the identity of Mrs. Huo to give birth to the child safely, and then fly away and let him cry without tears. It is better than hiding like you do.
Shang Wanwan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
"Don't talk about me. Is your recent shoot going well?"
"Good luck."
Jin Jingxiao's resources in the entertainment industry are at the tycoon level.
With him escorting him throughout the journey, Li Luo was almost always successful.
Not only did they make a lot of money, they also treated their work as a trip and traveled almost all over Europe.
Shang Wanwan couldn't bear to pour cold water on her seeing how happy she was.
"You don't have to look at me like that. Everyone chooses a different path."
Li Luo knew what she was worried about.
Jin Jingxiao's wedding date is in three months, and he will soon belong to another woman.
Li Luo didn't say anything. He was not her man in the first place. She was just borrowing him for a while and would return him when the time was up.
She just gets what she wants.
"You are still young, do you plan to waste your youth following him like this?"
Shang Wanwan hopes that Li Luo can fall in love and get married like a normal girl.
Li Luo sneered: "Wouldn't it be a waste of youth if I didn't stay with him? I have no resources and no ability. I can't gain a foothold in the entertainment industry just by being good-looking. Wanwan, reality is not a fairy tale. If you can't find a Prince Charming to protect and escort someone else's Prince Charming, that's fine. To put it bluntly, he wants sex and I want fame, we each get what we need."
Li Luo took this matter lightly, but he could not see through the world of fame and fortune.
She worked hard to get to her current position, and she has not forgotten who gave it to her.
"What will you do if Mr. Jin gets married?"
Shang Wanwan's mind can't tolerate messy relationships.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so decisive after loving him for so many years.
"Threesome, what should we do?"
Shang Wanwan almost spit out her milk tea after hearing Li Luo's words.
Looking at Shang Wanwan's astonishment, Li Luo was very serious.
"I'm not kidding. I can't give up my so-called vested interests for the sake of love. I don't love him. As long as he is with me and I can use him, it's fine. I don't care how many women he has."
Shang Wanwan had a feeling that Li Luo was lying.
Otherwise, why was there such reluctance in her eyes when Jin Jingxiao left just now?
She didn't admit it, but as a friend, there was no point in her exposing it.
"Lu Zhe was sent abroad for five years. It must be Huo Dongming's fault."
Li Luo turned the topic to Lu Zhe.
It seems that the man is watching Shang Wanwan quite closely.
What were you doing this morning?
"I am sorry for him. I didn't expect Huo Dongming to do that."
Shang Wanwan felt guilty.
Li Luo didn't care.
"What does this have to do with you? I introduced you to each other, so I am the culprit. He has been abroad for five years and is worth more when he returns. Don't be so naive."
Li Luo took a sip of tea and it tasted good.
She ordered three more sweet cakes, gave two to Shang Wanwan and ate one for herself.
"You eat the food of two people, eat more. You look better after gaining weight than before. I envy you guys for not having to face the camera."
After eating the cake in front of her, she went back and exercised for at least three hours. If she didn't like this sweet thing, she would feel guilty.
"Mr. Huo is really worried about you. You might as well turn a blind eye to this matter. Yi Xiaxue is not worthy of the Huo family. Why let the unborn child suffer with you?"
Li Luo tried to persuade him in a disjointed way, but he himself felt unsettled.
Shang Wanwan ate her dessert in silence, her heart completely calm.
"Miss Li, there is a guest over there who wants to meet you. Please come over."
The waiter brought a fruit platter and said someone had treated us.
Li Luo followed the waiter's hand and looked over, and saw a graceful woman sitting next to the lush fortune tree.
Her face was calm and gentle, and Li Luo thought she was a fan.
"Sorry, it's my personal time now. If you want an autograph, please do it next time."
She declined.
Even if you hide in a place like this, you will still be recognized.
I should have asked for a private room.
Seeing that she didn't move, the woman simply stood up and walked over.
"Hello, Miss Li. My name is Fang Xinyuan, nice to meet you."
Fang Xinyuan, like thunder in my ears.
At Jin Jingxiao's engagement party, the name next to the invitation was Fang Xinyuan.
His fiancée.
Li Luo was stunned for only half a second, and soon returned to his normal expression.
"sit."
The two women of Jin Jingxiao met for the first time, and Shang Wanwan felt that her palms were almost sweating.
It was the first time she had seen such a fight. If a fight broke out, would she help Li Luo or run away first?
"Ms. Li is indeed as exquisite and beautiful as she appears on the screen. No wonder our Jing Xiao is so obsessed with you."
Fang Xinyuan's three words "our home" immediately declared sovereignty.
"Wanwan, didn't you just say you wanted to go to the bathroom?"
Li Luo looked at Shang Wanwan. She was pregnant, and it was better not to let the bloody scene affect the baby in her belly.
Shang Wanwan was stunned for a moment before she realized that Li Luo wanted to get rid of her.
Li Luo's identity is that of a third party, which is not glorious.
Shang Wanwan thought she was embarrassed and didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her good friends.
"Oh, yes."
She stood up. How Li Luo wanted to deal with it was her own business.
Shang Wanwan thought that she couldn't go too far. If something happened, at least she could call the police or notify Jin Jingxiao.
"Why?"
With no one else around, Fang Xinyuan went straight to the point and asked Li Luo questions that left her confused.
"Why why?"
"There are so many men in this world, why do you choose Jing Xiao? With Miss Li's conditions, there will be more rich old men holding large sums of money to throw at you, but Jing Xiao is just okay at best. He is not very rich, nor does he have many resources."
Fang Xinyuan came to persuade them to quit.
Li Luo lit up a cigarette and smoked it, ignoring the frowning look of the woman in front of him.
"Perhaps among those old men you mentioned, Jin Jingxiao is not only rich but also young and in good health."
