After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 382: Pie or Trap

Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Pie or Trap

Wan Mingyi stood there in a daze for quite a while, not knowing what she had been thinking.

She thought about her relationship with Chen Jiayuan, which seemed sweet at the time but now felt nauseating in retrospect.

She thought more about Luo Changchuan’s appearance.

And that phrase he said just now, only talking about love.

He’s so wonderful.

When her girlfriends talk about men, they describe their looks saying, handsome like certain male celebrities, a good physique like male models.

But Luo Changchuan’s handsomeness is undeniably apparent to anyone with eyes.

She’s seen his eight-pack abs too.

He’s not just comparable to male models in the entertainment industry; he used to be one.

Successful in his career.

And faithful.

But she...

The award party for "Shining with You" was long past, but in many moments, Wan Mingyi could recall the words Luo Changchuan said to Wen Zhiyi: From the moment you left, to when I told you I wouldn’t wait anymore, during those three years, you never once thought about coming back.

Three years.

He waited for her for three years.

Among the men she knew, including those she’s heard about, those who can seriously say goodbye then start a new relationship can be considered good men.

Most either keep looking while holding onto what they have or are involved with multiple people, perfectly executing the definition of a scumbag.

But Luo Changchuan waited for Wen Zhiyi for three years.

And that doesn’t even include the years after he decided not to wait.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt Luo Changchuan was outstanding, like the flawless, perfect full moon high above, out of reach for her.

And now, this man who made her feel inferior said he wanted to talk about love with her.

Wan Mingyi hesitated a bit.

But... give up?

As soon as those two words surfaced in her mind, Wan Mingyi slapped them away.

Would a pie really fall from the sky?

Or... a trap?

Throw caution to the wind!

Even if it is a trap, she’ll accept it!

She didn’t even bother to pack up her computer, just closed it with a snap.

Wan Mingyi hurriedly grabbed her phone and bag and went downstairs.

There weren’t many people left in the office building at night, but even so, every time the elevator stopped, Wan Mingyi’s heart would stomp in impatience.

What if Luo Changchuan was just speaking nonsense because he was drunk?

What if she was overthinking it?

What if...

Before Wan Mingyi could figure it out.

Ding.

The elevator door opened.

Through the few people in front, Wan Mingyi saw Luo Changchuan waiting outside the elevator doors at a glance.

Dark blue shirt, sleeves rolled up to the forearms.

Straight black trousers.

The man seemed to have just come from a social gathering, still carrying a faint scent of alcohol.

A "hello" stuck in her throat, Wan Mingyi’s mind went blank, suddenly not knowing what to say.

With a gust of night wind, Wan Mingyi snapped back, "You... drank?"

Luo Changchuan spoke at the same time, "Wan Mingyi, you came, does this mean you agree?"

???

Wan Mingyi paused, "Agree to what?"

Luo Changchuan’s eyes held laughter, "I said it before, no talk of work during leisure time, just love. You came, does this mean you’re willing to talk about love with me?"

"I..."

Wan Mingyi was a bit tongue-tied.

Say she’s willing?

But isn’t that too straightforward?

Would he think she’s not reserved enough, that she’s hooked just because he made a move?

But say she’s not willing?

She is willing.

"I don’t know."

Wan Mingyi shook her head, looking up at Luo Changchuan, "Luo Changchuan, all told, we’ve only known each other for four months, wouldn’t it be... a bit fast?"

"Fast? For others, four months are enough to start and end several rounds."

Taking Wan Mingyi’s hand towards the car, Luo Changchuan said while walking, "Wan Mingyi, I’m someone who likes to play straight balls, like means like."

Walking just to the front of the car, Luo Changchuan opened the passenger door, looking straight at Wan Mingyi, "Saying love at first sight is a bit cliched, but the moment I was moved by you truly started with that baby. Wan Mingyi, I know better than anyone what I’m doing. How about you, do you accept my affection?"

Above was the deep night sky, a full moon hung high overhead.

Surrounded by the hustle and bustle of city lights, neon lights flickering from all directions.

Looking at the man in front of her, who appeared more serious than usual, whose eyes were filled only with her.

Wan Mingyi took a deep breath, blossoming into a radiant smile, "So now, I have a boyfriend?"

Laughter spread, Luo Changchuan looked fixedly at Wan Mingyi, opened his arms, and embraced her, "Hello, girlfriend!"

The pleasant scent of woody cologne filled her nose, Wan Mingyi’s heart was racing.

Raising her eyes again, she saw the flashing police sirens ahead.

Though knowing it might not be coming for them, Wan Mingyi still hurriedly released Luo Changchuan, pushing him away, "Quickly, quickly, we might really get a ticket soon."

Shaking his head with a laugh, seeing her sit in the passenger seat, Luo Changchuan closed the car door, circled around the front of the car, and got in.

The car merged into the traffic flow.

Wan Mingyi belatedly thought of a question, "Where are we... going?"

"To pick up my lost face."

Luo Changchuan laughed.

A head full of questions was answered when being embraced around the waist and led into a private booth in the bar.

Three men and three women, paired two by two.

The men and women drank and sang, the atmosphere in the booth was lively and harmonious.

Luo Changchuan entered with a beauty in his arms, the singing, drinking, and dice sounds abruptly stopped.

All six, twelve pairs of eyes fixed on Luo Changchuan and Wan Mingyi.

"Brother Chuan, what’s the situation here?"

"Just teasing you about being single, can’t take a joke?"

"Beauty, how much is he paying you? I’ll give you double, just don’t let yourself be fooled and suffer here, okay?"

"Get lost!"

Embracing Wan Mingyi’s shoulder, Luo Changchuan solemnly introduced, "Wan Mingyi, my girlfriend."

After finishing, still unsatisfied, Luo Changchuan turned to look at Wan Mingyi, "Baby, tell them, were you tricked by me?"

"I was tricked."

Wan Mingyi said, and the men and women in front laughed till they bent over backwards.

Luo Changchuan seemed dumbfounded.

Then Wan Mingyi, with a bright smile, said, "However, I willingly let him trick me."

"Hello everyone, I’m Wan Mingyi. Nice to meet you all, since you’re Chang Chuan’s friends, please take care of me in the future!"

Her demeanor was confident and poised, Wan Mingyi finished speaking and instinctively leaned closer to Luo Changchuan.

"Brother Chuan, you... this is good! Come on, isn’t it time to thank us brothers, if it weren’t for us pushing you, you’d never know when you could get your wife."

"Exactly, exactly, hurry up, raise the glasses, cheers to Brother Chuan for winning the beauty’s heart, wish you both the marriage certificate soon!"

"Hi sister-in-law, come here and sit with us..."

At a glance, the men were handsome, the women were beautiful.

The words had familiarity and friendliness written all over them.

Originally thought there’d be some awkwardness during the first meeting, but quickly Wan Mingyi found, birds of a feather truly flock together.

Chitchatting, laughing, playing around, by the time Wan Mingyi left the bar, she felt her face was a bit stiff from smiling.

Seeing Luo Changchuan heading straight for the parking lot, Wan Mingyi reached out to pull him, "Call..." a driver, maybe.

Before she finished speaking, the man turned, and a kiss scented with alcohol landed.
