Chapter 451: New Classmate
When Zhou Yuwen leaned in, Lu Wanting was indeed a bit nervous. It's not just mentally, perhaps it's because she hasn't been with a man for more than twenty years, her body felt tense too.
The long legs wrapped in jeans involuntarily squeezed slightly. At this moment, although Zhou Yuwen hadn't kissed her, one of his big hands had already confidently landed on Lu Wanting's thigh.
However, Lu Wanting did indeed look enticing. Even though her legs weren't showing, her upper body shirt was open, revealing a white camisole underneath, which bulged temptingly.
Both of them were a little lightheaded at this time. Lu Wanting's hand couldn't help but grip the hem of her shirt. As for Zhou Yuwen, besides his wealth, it must be admitted that he possesses a unique charm. At the very least, his talent is undeniable, and his looks wouldn't be rejected by most girls.
Even knowing that Zhou Yuwen already has a good woman, Lu Wanting felt her throat dry for a moment, and as Zhou Yuwen leaned in, her slightly parted lips even felt a sense of anticipation.
Unfortunately, a sudden phone ring brought them back to their senses. Lu Wanting glanced at her phone, and at this moment, Zhou Yuwen also saw the caller ID, which was Peng Xiaoyong.
Despite Lu Wanting immediately choosing to hang up, the romantic mood had already vanished.
When Lu Wanting looked up at Zhou Yuwen again, Zhou Yuwen was already sitting properly, straightening his clothes, and then said plainly: "It's getting late, you're tired too."
Lu Wanting was somewhat disappointed and finally just replied with a hum.
That night, nothing happened between them, and it was somewhat awkward. In the elevator, they didn't say much, instead, Zhou Yuwen chuckled to himself, saying a little forgetfully: "That was really strange just now."
"You are the woman my brother is pursuing."
Zhou Yuwen joked directly.
Lu Wanting forced a smile but said nothing.
After coming out of the elevator, they each returned to their rooms.
After closing the door, Lu Wanting lay on the bed sprawling, her face still flushed when thinking about the intimacy in the sports car, yet she felt some regret.
People are like this; at crucial moments they're driven by instinct, sometimes unable to refuse. But once the moment passes, they have to consider the consequences.
Zhou Yuwen has six women.
If she really had a relationship with him...
Is it truly what she wants?
Staring at the ceiling, Lu Wanting couldn't help but question her own heart.
At this time, the phone rang again.
It was Peng Xiaoyong calling.
Lu Wanting adjusted her mood a little and answered the call: "Hello?"
"Hmm, were you busy earlier? Why didn't you answer?"
"Oh, I was outside just now. Yuwen and Su Qing had just come over today, so I went to the airport to pick them up," Lu Wanting answered Peng Xiaoyong a bit guiltily.
Peng Xiaoyong was somewhat surprised: "Yuwen is in New York too?"
"Yes, he came with Su Qing, probably because he was worried about her," Lu Wanting said flatly.
Peng Xiaoyong was silent for a moment and finally said, "I don't know who his girlfriend is."
Lu Wanting chuckled at this: "That's how it is with money."
"Mm, since he's there, show them a good time,"
"Okay,"
After this topic, they had nothing left to talk about, and after another pause, Peng Xiaoyong asked: "When are you coming back?"
When it came to returning, Lu Wanting was somewhat evasive, saying, "Well, I haven't booked yet."
Peng Xiaoyong said, "Come back soon."
Lu Wanting said, "I'll come back after I'm done."
"Are you back in your room now?"
"Mmm..."
"I..." Peng Xiaoyong wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"Hmm?" Lu Wanting was curious.
Peng Xiaoyong said, "I miss you..."
The words caught Lu Wanting off guard, leaving her unsure of how to respond. In the end, she yawned to change the subject, saying it was getting late.
"Is it still midday there for you?"
"I'm going to sleep now."
After saying this, she hung up the phone.
Actually, at this moment, Lu Wanting was also struggling internally. She's indeed not a good woman, you could say she's indecisive.
But she can't help it.
People are pragmatic by nature.
If Zhou Yuwen were single, Lu Wanting might have chosen him without hesitation and cut ties with Peng Xiaoyong.
But the problem is, Zhou Yuwen isn't.
Right now, Zhou Yuwen's attitude toward her is ambiguous. Choosing Zhou Yuwen means Lu Wanting is destined to be a third party, maybe not even that.
What if she's misjudged?
If she rejects Peng Xiaoyong and Zhou Yuwen says, 'Sister-in-law, have we misunderstood each other?' would Lu Wanting end up with nothing?
Keeping Peng Xiaoyong on the line isn't right either.
But with Peng Xiaoyong in the picture, at least Lu Wanting has a fallback. Worst case, she's Zhou Yuwen's sister-in-law, relying on this relationship. It provides convenience in both life and work.
But once that relationship is gone, she'd have nothing.
Lu Wanting knows it's unfair to Peng Xiaoyong.
But she has no choice.
Recollecting the scene in the car, Lu Wanting was unsure of what to feel. There was regret, feeling she shouldn't have done it, but also the thought that if it weren't for Peng Xiaoyong's call, they might have continued.
