Lu Manqing walked forward, holding her grandfather's arm, wearing a purple low-cut evening gown that was both beautiful and sexy. No matter from which angle one looked, she appeared charming and lovely.
With her natural beauty, it was no wonder that Jiang Chengmu, a beauty enthusiast, had deep feelings for her; her presence was special to him.
Stopping in front of Gu Lvq Qi, Lu Manqing stood like a proud swan, raising an eyebrow as she looked at the man with his back to them. With a teasing smile, she said, "Miss Gu is also here for the party? It's true that Jiang Shao has never brought you to such occasions; it's good for you to see the world. Just don't be too shy, Miss Gu!"
While there have been those who secretly played the role of a mistress, it was rare to see someone so bold in trying to take on that role openly!
With a light laugh, Green Qi calmly retorted, "Thank you for your warm invitation, Miss Lu. I appreciate it. I am grateful for your care of Jiang Shao during this time. One day, my husband and I will definitely invite you to dinner to express our gratitude!"
What was there to be arrogant about? Jiang Chengmu, whom Lu Manqing treated like a treasure, was dispensable to her. Sending him into Lu Manqing's hands saved her trouble and made her appear magnanimous. No matter how they were infatuated with each other, as long as she held onto her true feelings, she wouldn't feel heartbroken.
Since she had not invested her heart, there was no need for her to provoke Jiang Chengmu; following his wishes would be mutually beneficial.
After all, it was a loveless contractual marriage that bound them together out of obligation. Once she had the ability to regain her freedom one day, she could live as she pleased without being labeled by the Jiang family.
Surprised by her sharp retort, Lu Manqing didn’t gain any advantage and smiled slyly. "There's no need to have dinner with Miss Gu; I'd rather eat with Jiang Shao!"
"Oh really? Then let’s have Jiang Shao treat you to dinner. Miss Lu should eat more!" As long as you can eat it, it's not her money anyway.
With a teasing smirk, Green Qi narrowed her eyes at the figure quickly approaching them. The eager look on his face seemed as if he were afraid that the treasure he held in his palm would be ruined by someone else. He showed no restraint in front of outsiders and seemed eager to display his deep affection.
Old Master Lu had already walked over and started talking to the man by the window. After exchanging a few words, they headed toward a nearby sofa.
Soon, only the three of them remained by the window. The awkward triangular relationship that others perceived was performed by them almost perfectly, without the expected bickering and shouting. Instead, the atmosphere was unusually quiet and harmonious, which still attracted many curious gazes from the guests.
Lu Manqing linked her arm with Jiang Chengmu's. To an outsider, Gu Lvq Qi seemed unnecessary; if it weren't for Jiang Chengmu's earlier introduction, she would likely have become a target for everyone's disdain.
Lu Manqing wore a defiant expression. "Miss Gu, I plan to dance the opening dance with Jiang Shao later. You don't mind, do you?"
"I don't mind at all. In fact, I can't dance either. As long as you make Jiang Shao happy, I have no objections. Besides, the notion of 'minding' only applies when both parties are mutually interested, and Jiang Shao and I are not at that stage yet, so I have nothing to mind."
Ignoring Jiang Chengmu's increasingly dark expression, Green Qi raised an eyebrow at the smug Lu Manqing and chuckled teasingly. "Wishing Jiang Shao and Miss Lu a great time! I won't disturb you two any longer!"
