Young Master Manoban Are You Done Kissing?〖2〗

Chapter 348: That 'He' Was Completely Inaccessible to Her

But he asked what was that 'he' was like.

Irene's hand pressed against his chest, and her heart beat wildly. In a trance, she seemed to be immersed in that dream.

In that dream, the man who suddenly rushed in at the moment she fell down while bleeding from her mouth was not much different from him now, except that his hair was shorter. It seemed that ten years had left no trace on his body.

She couldn't see his expression in her dream, just as she could not touch him in those ten years when he remained far away and hard to reach.

Irene replied sullenly in his arms, "Don't worry. You were still handsome in that dream."

He suddenly held her chin with his slender fingers and pressed his forehead against hers, asking huskily, "Really?"

Irene suddenly dared not look him in the eye. She peeked at him and nodded hurriedly. "Yes!"

Lisa still held her chin and lowered his head to kiss her. He kissed her fondly and passionately, and at the end of the kiss, he gently bit her lips and licked the corners of her mouth. "Would I kiss you like this in your dream?"

Irene: "..."

Of course not.

That 'he' was completely inaccessible to her.

She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and turned her back to him, vaguely answering, "At least 'he' is not as horny as you are. I'm going to sleep. Aren't you sleepy?"

"Yes, I'll hold you to sleep." He held her into his arms from behind.

...

Shine Group 's dinner party for business partners was held four days later, which was the fifth day of the Chinese Lunar New Year according to the lunar calendar.

After all, Shine Group was a Chinese enterprise and had many connections with many Chinese companies. It was indeed appropriate to hold a dinner party on this day.

The dinner party was held for business partners during the Spring Festival, so its atmosphere was not bad. There was a lot of food at the dinner party. She was pregnant, so she didn't wear a tight dress. Instead, she chose a loose white chiffon dress suitable for a dinner party. She wanted to wear high heels, but Lisa told her she wasn't allowed to because she was pregnant, so she switched to flats.

Nan Heng and Feng Ling also attended the dinner party tonight, and the latter didn't wear a dress but still that cool, black tight outfit.

As soon as Irene saw Feng Ling, she asked Lisa to greet the executives of those enterprises first so that he did not need to refuse others' toast every time as he was afraid she couldn't bear the smell of liquor.

"Mrs. Manoban, why don't you go with Mr. Manoban?" Seeing Irene suddenly come to her, Feng Ling asked in confusion.

"He has already introduced me to others, but it's really inconvenient for him to socialize with guests while he has to take care of me. So, I said I was coming to talk to you." Irene winked at her and glanced at Nan Heng. "Did you come with him?"

Feng Ling said expressionlessly, "He's the boss of the base and my boss. He asked me to come, so I came."

"Why are you in such a hurry to explain to me? I didn't say anything." Irene was about to take Feng Ling with her to a place where there were fewer people when she caught sight of An Shuyan.

An Shuyan came with the An family but didn't stand by Shaoze Manoban's side. An Shuyan saw Irene too. At the moment her gaze met Irene's, she gave her a polite smile, then looked away and walked through the red carpet to the VIP area with her family.

"You've been in the US for a longer time. Do you know much about the companies and families that Shine is on good terms with?" She picked up a glass of champagne in her hand and asked seemingly casually to Feng Ling, who was standing by her side.

Feng Ling quickly took the glass out of her hand and gave her a glass of juice, answering, "The dozens of Chinese enterprises present today all have close ties with Shine Group, and some of them do seek to strengthen their alliance with Shine Group via marriage like the Su family and the An family, but it's just their wishful thinking. Over the years, Mr. Manoban has rejected many young ladies from these families. Miss Su keeps pestering Mr. Manoban because of what happened several years ago between them, while Miss An gained the favor of President Mo, and as for the rest, I can hardly remember their names."

Irene raised her eyebrows. In this case, it seemed that Lisa and Shaoze Manoban were both principled men. At least, Su Zhilan used to be engaged to Lisa, and An Shuyan was the future daughter-in-law that Shaoze Manoban chose.

As for the rest, their thinking was quite common in the upper circle.

Let alone Lisa, she had also been pursued by many men in the upper circle in China, but she was too proud to accept any man's chasing. She had no affairs with anyone except Sheng Yihan, but she actually hated the latter, so it was impossible for them to have any romantic relationship.

She felt somewhat balanced by this thought.

It was nothing more than the attraction between young men and women in the same circle, and you simply couldn't stop being attracted by someone. Besides, her husband was indeed excellent.

When Elder Su showed up with Su Zhilan, many people turned their eyes to Su Zhilan, and some young ladies gave Irene meaningful looks. After all, many of the people present had attended the engagement party of Su Zhilan and Lisa.

But the one who attracted Irene's attention was not Su Zhilan, but the one who came with her, Su Xueyi.

Irene had thought she would never see her again since the last time she met Su Xueyi in T City.

Lisa glanced at the gate and turned his eyes away from Su Zhilan and Su Xueyi's faces. When Irene felt that Lisa was looking at her, he came up to her.

"Feng Ling, defend my wife." Lisa looked at Feng Ling.

Feng Ling nodded. She knew well what these two young ladies of the Su family were capable of, so she became extremely wary as soon as she saw Su Zhilan and Su Xueyi.

The red carpet was set in the middle of the hall, so there were many ways to go, but Su Zhilan chose to walk in this direction. She took Su Xueyi, who, for some reason, looked panicked, to walk pass Irene and Lisa. When the two of them walked past the latter, many people present looked at them meaningfully, waiting to see whether there would be any spark between Lisa's ex-fiancée and his wife.

Under the public stare, Irene looked away, ignoring these annoying stares and looked at Su Xueyi.

She remembered Su Xueyi was a beautiful and clever girl, but now she looked skinny and pale and seemed to be very afraid of people. She was dragged along by the wrist by Su Zhilan. Her eyes were seemingly unfocused and full of fear of the crowd around her.
