627 Too Hard to Escape from the Chains of Love 4 (1/2)

Lu Jinwen raised his handsome face and glanced at Jun Mosheng before walking away.

As he looked at the man's polished and cold retreating back, Jun Mosheng narrowed his almond-shaped eyes and smiled slightly.

…

At dinner.

The dinner prepared tonight was indeed sumptuous. It was specially catered for the distinguished guests by High Priest Meng.

Pigs and sheep were slaughtered for the feast, and there was a lingering fragrance of meat and wine.

Tang Mo'er sat in her seat and eyed the roasted lamb. She did not have any appetite at all and felt like throwing up.

Her fair hands pressed on her chest. She hunched her body and was about to vomit.

Just then, a golden basin appeared in front of Tang Mo'er. A voice laced with concern was heard. ”Miss Tang, are you alright?”

Tang Mo'er looked up. It was Meng Che.

Meng Che was Meng Lu's son and the future High Priest. He was now looking at her with concern.

Tang Mo'er shook her head. ”I'm alright. Thank you for your concern.”

At this moment, Jun Mosheng walked over. ”Mo'er, you don't have any appetite? I'll get someone to prepare some porridge and send it to your room later. You'd better go back to take a rest.”

The first trimester of pregnancy was very tiring. Tang Mo'er was very cautious about this pregnancy after losing her baby in the previous one. She nodded. ”Uncle Jun, I'll take my leave then.”

Tang Mo'er got up and returned to her room.

Meng Che watched as Tang Mo'er walked away. His eyes revealed an apparent infatuation.

Meng Che did not know that at this juncture, there was a pair of almond-shaped eyes, sharp as an eagle as they looked at him, which made one's hair stand on end.

Lu Jinwen retracted his glance after looking at Meng Che. He took his wine glass and downed all the wine in one gulp.

”Mr Lu, let me pour you another glass.”

Lin Siyu was sitting by Lu Jinwen's side delicately. She was much more restrained and obedient now after witnessing the shocking sight of Lin Xuanji.

She thought that based on her beauty and youth, Lin Xuanji was definitely no match for her. But time seemed to have stopped for Lin Xuanji, and she actually paled in comparison to the beautiful and radiant Lin Xuanji. She felt an ominous sense of foreboding.

In contrast with Lin Xuanji, she was just like what Jun Mosheng had said ー a fake and inferior counterfeit.

She feared that Lu Jinwen would not want her anymore.

She knew where her value lied.

Lu Jinwen glanced sideways at Lin Siyu's beautiful face. He lifted Lin Siyu's exquisite chin with his long fingers.

”Mr Lu.” Lin Siyu batted her eyelashes at him continuously and tried to seduce him with her eyes.

It only become more urgent that she needed to bed Lu Jinwen and give birth to a son for him. This way, she would have no worries for the rest of her life.

Lu Jinwen looked at her eyes and retracted his fingers disinterestedly.

Sensing his obvious apathy, Lin Siyu's face promptly fell. Initially, this man would still tease her, kick her bottom and give her jewelry whether he had feelings for her or not. But after he had arrived here, he did not seem to harbor any interest in her at all.

He did not even bother to look at her.

”Sir.” At this moment, Butler Ye walked over and bent down to whisper in Lu Jinwen's ear.
