Chapter 50 - Those Eyes (1/2)
Lu Man disregarded her. She thought of her as a petty clown.
Pei Zichen ran to Pei Xiuyuan’s side. He looked at his father with his very loving eyes.
Lu Man raised her head and met with Mu Yunhai’s eyes. She got a bit emotional. But when she saw his expression, she could not understand why he looked so unhappy when he had already gotten what he wanted.
Looking at her eyes, knowing she cared about him, Mu Yunhai clenched his fists. All this would not have happened if he managed the matter better beforehand!
Pei Xiuyuan was talking to his son, but he kept an eye on their every move. When he saw that they were looking at each other, his eyes darkened. Lu Man still had not completely gotten over Mu Yunhai.
Wang Yunxi also noticed the way they were looking at each other. She was annoyed. “Pei Xiuyuan, you better guard your woman. Do not let her seduce my husband!”
She said it clear and precise, without hiding her feelings!
“Poor Miss Wang, you cannot even guard your husband’s heart when you are still young and pretty. Do not be like a dog, barking at every woman when she comes into your sight, poor little thing.” Lu Man was not a weakling. When she counterattacked, she showed no mercy.
“You bitch!” Wang Yunxi stood up angrily. She never thought that she would be treated like that in her own house, in her territory!
Compared to her rage, Lu Man was much calmer and more elegant. She just cocked her eyebrows and provoked her with her eyes. She was provoking her to start a fight if she even dared!
“Do you think I would not dare to do anything to you?” She was never afraid of anything! But as she was about to start the fight, Pei Xiuyuan spoked.
“Wang Yunxi.”
He was warning her.
Wang Yunxi bit her lower lip and sat down, unwillingly.
The dining table in their house was long and big enough to accommodate twenty people at a time. As they had just stopped the almost-war, the old lady entered the room.
Everyone turned around when they heard her, so did Lu Man.
When she looked at the old lady, the old lady had coincidentally looked at her. When their eyes met, Lu Man shuddered. She suddenly had an indescribable fear toward the old lady and turned pale. She was sure that she had never met her before, but she thought that her face, especially her eyes, were somehow very familiar! She could not understand the situation at all!
Believe it or not, she had a feeling that these eyes were the eyes that kept on appearing in her dreams, staring at her!
Her body became stiff and she felt suffocated. She was scared, but she did not know why. Her instinct told her to run away from here but she felt like she was trapped in her dream. It was terrifying. She could not move or scream no matter how hard she tried. She could only let her fear take over her body…
She felt cold as if somebody had drawn out the heat from her body…
Until a big warm hand held hers, she felt warmer.
She slowly cleared her mind.
“What’s wrong?” He was very worried about her. He saw her suffocating a little just now. He could not understand why she could get this nervous or she was actually scared.
“I…” Lu Man could not explain what she was feeling now.
“You do not have to be nervous or scared. Grandmother may look very strict, but she is not that terrifying.” Pei Xiuyuan thought that she was scared just because she was too nervous.
