As expected, Rangmu began a series of hot attacks on Zhang Manting — he regularly invited her to dinner, to the movies, and to a field trip. However, Zhang Manting, who had already made up her mind, repeatedly tried to find an excuse.
Everyone with a discerning eye could see Zhang Manting's rejection and estrangement, but Langmu was unyielding. He began to get flowers sent to where Zhang Manting worked every day — roses, lilies, daisies, lotuses … All kinds of colorful and fragrant flowers formed a dreamlike sea of flowers, and Zhang Manting was submerged in it.
"Zhang Manting, it's so romantic. When are you going to treat us to wedding wine?"
"Blue succubus? That's not cheap, ah. With so many of them, that's at least a thousand credits!"
"Is that the man who came to pick you up last time? He's tall and handsome, and he's even willing to spend money for you, so you followed him!"
In the face of teasing, sincere and envious comments from her colleagues, Zhang just smiled and did not say much. To tell the truth, Langmu really knew how to please Zhang Manting. If it wasn't for Xu Xiao following Langmu around, Zhang Manting might have already become Langmu's girlfriend! However, because of the stalking incident, Zhang Manting always had a grudge against Langmu. Moreover, she was afraid that Langmu would become another Lin Luo and Xu Xiao. Rather than doing this, she might as well ignore this man who was to her liking!
On this day, the florist brought a large handful of champagne lilies, the color of which was golden and the fragrance was rich and charming. However, Zhang Manting, who was holding the flowers, didn't look too good. Was this Langmu finished or not? Yesterday, she had sent a text message to him, telling him to stop sending fresh flowers to the office! However, it was clear that he didn't take his words to heart and continued doing what he wanted. I've had enough. How can there be such a shameless person in the world, using the cover of love to force others!
Zhang Manting had decided that she would personally find Langmu and explain everything to him! What she didn't expect was that before she had even called him, he had delivered himself to her!
"Wow, Zhang Manting, your boyfriend is here to pick you up from work!" Looking at the well-dressed Rangmu who was standing in front of the office door, a busybody teased him, "How considerate!"
Zhang Manting slanted her eyes as she looked at that person. With a cold tone, she said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"
Her face was very pale and her mouth was pursed tightly. Anyone could see the displeasure in her heart. Everyone's gaze moved back and forth between Zhang Manting and Lang Mu. In the end, they all chose to remain silent.
Zhang Manting looked at Rangmu who was standing at the door. He wore a well-cut and exquisite suit. In his hand was a small, delicate gift box with the logo of a well-known luxury. Zhang Manting did not greet him and instead showed him her face. He did not get angry nor annoyed, and continued to stand there calmly. The smile on his face became even more obvious.
"Dear Manting, I'm here to pick you up from work." Her tone was very doting, very much like the Xu Xiao of the past.
With so many pairs of curious and probing eyes staring at her, Zhang Manting was unable to overdo it. She sighed helplessly, picked up her bag, quickly walked to the door, and disappeared in a flash. Langmu observed the situation and followed with big strides.
Sitting in the elegant environment of the Western Restaurant with the dim light, Zhang Manting took a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down the anger and depression in her heart.
"Langmu, I have made it clear that I will not accept your pursuit!" Zhang Manting's voice was not loud, but her tone was very firm.
"Manting, I think I've made myself clear. No matter what your attitude is, I won't give up on pursuing you!" Rangmu said lovingly, "Manting, don't lie to yourself. In fact, in your heart, you like me, don't you? "Why don't you follow your own wishes and be happy with me?"
Although it was a question, Lang Mu's tone was very confident. He looked at Zhang Manting with a burning gaze. The heat in his eyes was almost enough to melt her. Zhang Manting's heart trembled. She could not retort at all.
Yes, he was right, it wasn't that he wasn't tempted by him! But even so, I can't accept his pursuit! There must be some kind of dispute between him and Xu Xiao that I don't know about. That's right, that ghost painting dream. Who knows, Langmu might be Xu Xiao, the one who just changed her skin …
Zhang Meng Ting couldn't help but shiver. Previously, every time she lost her love, she would feel heartbroken and depressed. At this time, there would always be a man who was similar to his ex-boyfriend. They would always be unrelenting in their pursuit of him, never stopping until they achieved their goal. As a result, two years later, those who had vowed to take care of him for the rest of their lives would suddenly break up and completely disappear from their world. This Langmu before him must be the same!
"Manting, believe me, I know what you're afraid of." Langmu reached out his hand, crossed the small round table and covered Zhang Xiaoting's slightly cold hand with his warm and dry fingers, "In the future, I will take good care of you and not let you get hurt at all!"
Zhang's body trembled again. History had astonishingly coincided, and she clearly remembered that two years ago, when Xu Xiao had confessed to her, she had stepped over the dining table and placed her hand over her own.
"Manting, don't be afraid! "I will take care of you for the rest of your life. In the future, you won't get hurt even a little bit. I swear!" That was what Xu Xiao had said at the time, and she was so moved that tears filled her eyes. She had immediately agreed to his pursuit. But now, facing another man who he was equally tempted by, who had the same actions as Xu Xiao, and hearing the same words of love, Zhang Manting only felt fear!
Rangmu's gaze was deep, like a pool of water shining with an inexplicable light, like a burning flame. God, even those deep, burning eyes were so similar! At this moment, Zhang Manting was almost certain that this Langmu in front of her had some sort of close connection with Xu Xiao! No, not just these two. From his first boyfriend Lin Luo, to the second, the third, to Xu Xiao, to Lang Mu, there had to be something going on between these people! They were too similar, too similar to each other! But, what was this connection? Yes, I want to find out about this. Love, break up, love, break up, love again, break up again. I don't want to waste time like this anymore, I want to find out the truth!
Thinking of this, a light flashed through Zhang Manting's mind. A smile appeared on her face, and this smile made Langmu who was sitting opposite of her feel ecstatic. This was the first smile that Zhang Manting had given to her in a long time!
"Rum, you're right." Zhang Manting shyly lowered her head, "I really do like you, but I don't dare to accept you. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will ruthlessly leave me like my former boyfriend."
"Fool!" Lang Mu forcefully suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He got up and walked to Zhang Manting's side, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep and sincere voice, "Manting, I really love you. I swear on my life that in this life, I will only love you! I will be by your side until I die. "
His tone was so sincere and confident that Zhang Manting was almost touched by him. She lowered her eyelids as her eyes glimmered, "Alright, I agree."
"Manting, I love you!" Langmu excitedly hugged Zhang Manting's body and planted a kiss deeply on her forehead.
