The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead

tlement to admiration.
Even that excess brother in the family started to kiss up to Wen Mu because of the change in their parents' attitude.

    Wen Mu's life has never been easier.

    Just when he was about to forget Nie Zhen'er and felt it would have been worth it if he experienced the life of a rich second generation in the virtual world, he ran into Nie Zhen'er in the supermarket.

    He hasn't paid attention to Nie Zhen'er for over two months.
Even if the Internet was full of news about Nie Zhen'er, Wen Mu only glanced at it.

    The higher Nie Zhen'er's status, the more impossible it was for him and Nie Zhen'er.

    Nie Zhen'er, who is now a double film queen, is even more out of reach for him.

    Recently, Wen Qi and Shui Yan Xin started pushing him to blind dates, which he couldn't refuse.
When he gets engaged or even married, it would be equal to him directly abandoning the mission.

    He could be a handsome and rich man in the virtual world, but outside the VR world, he was still a pauper with nothing.

    Right as Wen Mu was about to give up the 100 million reward, Nie Zhen'er suddenly appeared in front of him.

    Wen Mu believed this was fate.

    He didn't pay any attention to Nie Zhen'er's movements and only came to the supermarket to buy something, yet he managed to meet Nie Zhen'er in the end.

    How fated they must be to have met her in this vast crowd.

    At that moment, the nearly extinguished flame in Wen Mu's heart rekindled.

    Following behind Nie Zhen'er, he adjusted his expression before reaching out and patting Nie Zhen'er on the shoulder with surprise in his gentle voice, “Zhen'er, what a coincidence.”

    On him was a high-definition suit that perfectly fitted his figure.
The sapphire cufflinks were luxurious yet discreet.
On his wrist was a watch that Wen Qi gave him on his birthday with Hearts and Arrows diamonds, worth up to millions in RMB.
Everything was perfect, for Nie Zhen'er to glance back and be amazed.

    But Nie Zhen'er didn't turn around, it was the woman standing next to her who turned around.

    When Luan Qing Xiao saw Wen Mu, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, “Yo, Wen Mu, what a coincidence, you’re here to visit the supermarket too?”

    After speaking, she looked behind him and asked, “Here alone?”

    The smile on Wen Mu's face stiffened, “Who are you, I'm talking to Zhen'er.”

    Luan Qing Xiao put her arm around Nie Zhen'er's shoulders and raised her eyebrows, “A man of your eminence is apt to be forgetful.
It’s only been five years since the last time we met and you even forgot me.
Let me introduce myself; my name is Luan Qing Xiao and Zhen'er is my woman.
Us spouses are connected by heart, so my answer is the same as her answer, nothing wrong with that.”

    “Luan Qing Xiao? What do you mean by what you just said?” What Zhen’er was her woman, what spouses are connected by heart, what is all this crap?

    “What I mean? Exactly what you heard.
If you don't want to be regarded as a homewrecker breaking apart a happy marriage, I advise you not to pester Zhen'er again.” Once Luan Qing Xiao finished speaking, the elevator happened to reach the first floor.
With her arm around Nie Zhen'er, the two left without hesitation, ditching behind only Wen Mu in place, trembling in anger.

    While the two continued shopping for groceries on the first floor.
Luan Qing Xiao warned Nie Zhen'er, “In the future when you see Wen Mu, just ignore him.
Him saying he likes you is definitely a lie.”

    Nie Zhen'er nodded, “En, I know.” During that time with the umbrella incident, Nie Zhen'er already knew what Wen Mu wanted from her.
Instead of being filled with love, his eyes were full of desire.
