Chapter 154 Rejected Confession

Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Rejected Confession

Wen Rui was shocked, experiencing a moment of daze.

Her heart clenched at that moment, aching dully, leaving her breathless.

She discovered that she actually cared about Lu Zhan being intimate with another woman, even though that woman was an exceptional person like JOJO.

"Ruirui, what’s wrong? Ready to start?"

The band leader looked at Wen Rui, reminding her.

Only then did Wen Rui collect her thoughts.

But her heart felt so uncomfortable, terribly so.

...

Outside the bar.

JOJO pulled Lu Zhan along in the dimly lit alley.

The hazy glow of the lights, combined with the beauty of the night.

JOJO, reeking of alcohol, had eyes glazed with intoxication.

She really was beautiful, with her pale, Euro-American complexion and sapphire-like eyes.

Bright red lips and pearly white teeth, her smile radiant and generous, terribly seductive.

With such a beauty actively seducing him, Lu Zhan believed he had strong willpower.

Having seen plenty of women in the entertainment industry, he was used to the sight of many beauties, but when he saw JOJO, he still fell for her.

JOJO pulled him into the backseat of her car and hooked her hand around the man’s collar.

Like a seductress, she pushed him down: "I fell for you at first sight, Lu Zhan."

She said in extremely broken Chinese.

Teasing him, her fingertips wandering on the man’s chest.

"Do you, want me?"

She hooked her lips, her eyes brimming with a soft light, filled with desire.

Whether it was because the car’s heating was turned up too high, or he had simply been without a woman for too long,

Lu Zhan stood no chance against JOJO’s flirtation.

He pinned her hands down, flipped the situation, becoming dominant and pressing her beneath him.

The friction of their clothes created an ambiguous atmosphere.

Every breathy sigh from JOJO became fatal temptation.

In the Moonlight Bar, Wen Rui sang.

Her melodious voice earned the whole venue’s applause.

...

At midnight.

Wen Rui got off work from the bar, ready to scan for an e-bike to ride back to school.

The bar wasn’t far from the school, a bike ride was only about twenty minutes.

She took out her phone, looking for a bike at the parking spot.

After a while, someone called her.

"Wen Rui?"

Doubtful, Wen Rui looked up, only to see a luxury car stopped by the road, its window rolling down, revealing the man’s handsome and refined face.

"Teacher Lu?"

Wen Rui was surprised.

"Get in the car, I’ll take you," Lu Zhan said.

Wen Rui hesitated, shaking her head: "Thank you, but I’ll just grab a bike, it’s not far from the school."

The refusal was clear, she didn’t want to trouble him.

"How can you go alone at this hour?"

Lu Zhan glanced at his wristwatch, got out of the car, and quickly walked up to Wen Rui, patting her on the shoulder.

"Come on, get in."

Wen Rui stood in place, unmoving.

"Listen to me," Lu Zhan said softly, with a coaxing tone.

Wen Rui bit her lip.

She was wrestling with herself.

If she hadn’t seen him kissing JOJO, she would have gotten in the car.

But now...

What was she to him?

What were they to each other?

Siblings of the same martial arts school?

Colleagues at the same company?

Her heart was in chaos.

She wanted to keep her distance from Lu Zhan, but she couldn’t bear to.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Zhan looked surprised, sensing the girl’s unusual reaction.

"Why are you out so late?" And alone at that.

Wen Rui bit her lip hard, "I work at the bar next door, as a resident singer."

Lu Zhan was startled and raised an eyebrow, "Which bar?"

"Moonlight..." Wen Rui said, clenching his hands into fists.

Lu Zhan was even more surprised, "I was at the bar just now and I didn’t see you."

"I saw you... I saw you with Teacher JOJO..."

"You saw all that?" Lu Zhan was quite surprised, his voice involuntarily softened a bit, "Can you keep what happened with JOJO and me a secret? As a man, it doesn’t bother me, but I’m afraid it will affect her reputation."

Wen Rui lifted his head, his beautiful eyes red and his breathing stumbled, the discomfort intense.

He really was a gentleman, actually considering the woman’s feelings.

"I won’t tell." Wen Rui forced a smile, but it was very bitter.

She knew that she was probably harboring an unrequited love, having fallen for Lu Zhan, and that’s why she felt so sour, so bothered by it.

"Get in the car first." Lu Zhan opened the car door.

After all, he was a public figure; it wouldn’t be good if someone took photos.

Although Wen Rui was very reluctant, she still got into the car.

She sat obediently in the passenger seat, holding back a lot of questions she wanted to ask.

Once Lu Zhan got into the car and closed the door, she mustered up the courage, "Teacher Lu, are you planning to be with Teacher JOJO?"

Lu Zhan’s hand paused on the steering wheel, stopping abruptly.

He curled his lips but didn’t reply.

...

At one o’clock in the morning, Rong Mansion was very lively.

Jiang Man and Wu Yingfan both received a multi-person video call.

"What’s going on?"

Jiang Man, still groggy from sleep, squinted as she accepted the video call and was quite irritable.

"I’ve been rejected..."

A stunningly beautiful face appeared in the video, drunken, with hands propped on a table.

The background looked like a bar.

"What happened? What happened?"

Wu Yingfan loved gossip and instantly woke up.

JOJO was laughing and crying, "A few hours ago, I asked Lu Zhan out to meet. I took the initiative to kiss him and confessed my feelings. At first, he seemed to reciprocate, responding to my kiss passionately. We even went to a hotel, but when we got to the room and were about to get to the point, he actually said he was sorry?"

"I’ve always been chased by men; this was the first time I pursued someone and got rejected?"

"Why? Am I not pretty enough?"

"Man, what exactly is your nephew thinking?"

JOJO rambled on, becoming increasingly vulgar as she spoke.

"Bastard! He actually rejected me? Is it because he can’t do it?"

"It’s definitely his problem, not mine. I’m so charming!"

"Man, I’m so sad, really sad."

Jiang Man had already anticipated this outcome.

Lu Zhan looked at Wen Rui very differently from how he looked at JOJO.

This was bound to lead to JOJO’s heartbreak.

"Alright, darling, don’t cry. Where are you? I’ll come pick you up."

"I don’t know..."

"Fine, I’ll locate you, don’t hang up."

Jiang Man sat up abruptly, opened the tracking software on her phone, and quickly located JOJO’s position.

"Come with me, Fanzi. You drive."

"Roger that!" Wu Yingfan was more than willing to be Jiang Man’s lackey.

...

Half an hour later.

The Lamborghini stopped in front of a bar in the World Trade Center.

As soon as Jiang Man glanced at the bar’s signboard, she knew this place was no ordinary venue.

The two entered the lobby and immediately saw the person swaying on the bar stool.

Jiang Man walked over and patted the person’s shoulder.

"I’m here."

JOJO was dazed and waved her hand vaguely.

Jiang Man took her under the shoulder, leading her away.

JOJO stumbled, refusing to leave, "I want to find a handsome guy! I won’t go; I want a handsome man!"

Jiang Man was almost annoyed to death, patting her arm, "Okay, okay, I’ll take you to find a handsome man."

"To find a handsome man... Lu Zhan, bastard! Bastard!"

"Sister Man, are you really going to find her one?"

"Find her one my ass, carry her back and knock her out so she can sleep."

This works?

"I’m not going back; I want to find a handsome man! I’m not drunk!"

JOJO pushed Jiang Man away, shouting loudly in her broken Chinese, "Doesn’t your family have young masters? How many? Call them all over for me!"
