She came to a stop two steps away from Pei Munian. She clenched her fists tightly then slowly opened them. Lifting her head, she met Pei Munian’s gaze. She pressed her lips together for a moment before saying, “I have something to tell you.”

He raised his eyebrows slightly as if he hadn’t expected her to have the audacity to stand in front of him as if nothing had happened. He stared at her fixedly for a long time before the corners of his lips turned up lazily and he said indifferently, “Talk.”

Pei Munian kept staring at her with an unbridled gaze that was extremely oppressive and invasive. Su Wanwan already had her words prepared, but under his gaze, her mind went blank. She opened her mouth but only managed to squeeze out one sentence: “I-I’m sincere about Lingyu.”

After uttering that sentence, Su Wanwan was a little stunned herself. However, on second thought, it was the most fitting thing to say.

Doesn’t Pei Munian think I want to use Gong Lingyu to approach him again? In that case, I’ll let him know that I’m serious about Lingyu and genuinely want to marry him. That should resolve the misunderstanding, shouldn’t it?

The woman standing in front of him was exquisite and beautiful. She had shed the childishness from three years ago and was more feminine now. She had also specifically dressed up for today’s meeting and was even more beautiful.

Pei Munian was staring at her in a daze when her words made him snap out of it.

“Sincere?”

Pei Munian repeated the word in fascination as if he had heard a great joke and chuckled twice. After which, he said with a hint of mockery in his voice, “Su Wanwan, we haven’t met in three years. Your acting skills are getting better and better. You can tell such a huge lie without your face turning red or panting. You shouldn’t have studied Business Administration back then-you should’ve just joined the Beijing Film Academy. Who knows-maybe you would’ve been famous by now.”

Pei Munian’s blunt words made Su Wanwan feel slightly awkward. She knew the words she had uttered were somewhat untrue. However, she wasn’t lying either. At the very least she was sincere about marrying Lingyu.

Su Wanwan bit her lower lip and continued: “I’m not acting nor am I lying. Ling Yu and I are really serious about each other, so I don’t want to break up with him…”

Upon hearing Su Wanwan’s words, Pei Munian’s gaze deepened bit by bit. Before she could finish talking, he interrupted her coldly, his eyes filled with contempt, “Su Wanwan, a woman like you can also be sincere?”

A woman like me?

Naturally, Su Wanwan understood what kind of women he was talking about. He was simply referring to her doing her utmost to woo him back then, but after getting him and sleeping with him, she had said she was just fooling around. That was probably why he thought she was insincere.

However, she really didn’t understand why Pei Munian was ridiculing her as though he was the victim. She was clearly the victim, and he was clearly the insincere one!

Su Wanwan wanted to laugh, but her eyes ached. When she blinked, tears welled up in her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she held back her tears and used all her willpower to remain calm as she said, “If you’re doing this because of the incident three years ago…”

“Three years ago? Su Wanwan, don’t you think you’re thinking too highly of yourself?”

Pei Munian turned and looked at her. His voice was calm but his words were extremely piercing. “Su Wanwan, you’re nothing to me. I want you to break up with Lingyu simply because a woman like you isn’t worthy of him.”
