Chapter 22 -22 Are You Going to the Banquet Dressed Like That?

Chen An stood at the supermarket entrance with a bottle of water, looking at his watch and feeling indecisive.

The boss had only asked him to buy water, but hadn’t specified when to return.

How long should he wait before going back to the car…Thirty minutes? Forty minutes? But if it were the boss, an hour didn’t seem impossible.

However, he didn’t agonize for long before receiving a call from Li Muchen, telling him to come back to the car.

Chen An opened the car door, to see the boss and the young girl sitting in the back seat, as if nothing had happened.

Was it all in his head?

After all, the boss has always been cold and abstinent; he couldn’t even imagine what the boss being emotional would look like.

“First, go to the Lu family and take her home,” Li Muchen instructed in the car.

“Understood, boss.” Chen An settled into the driver’s seat and started the car.

The young girl was excessively well-behaved on the trip, and like someone utterly exhausted, she began to doze off.

Indeed, Lu Sheng was tired.

She had been through a lot that afternoon and evening, first queuing up at Crystal for so long, then giving a challenging piano performance at the banquet, then outwitting Mrs. Fu and Jiang Ting, and finally meeting Old Mr. Fu.

Now in Li Muchen’s car, surrounded by the man’s calm and pleasant scent, she could finally relax.

With relaxation came the flood of sleepiness.

“Boss…”

Chen An was about to say something when Li Muchen glanced at him through the rearview mirror, frowning.

Chen An then noticed that the young girl had fallen asleep at some point and immediately closed his mouth, not daring to speak.

Li Muchen let Lu Sheng lean against him and took his suit jacket to cover her, a movement filled with tenderness he himself didn’t realize.

While covering her with the jacket, he couldn’t help frowning slightly.

The girl’s dress had too little fabric; a large area of her back was exposed, making it easy to catch cold. But indeed, she looked stunning, no wonder she had attracted so much attention tonight.

About twenty minutes later, Chen An parked the car outside the Lu Mansion.

Lu Sheng then opened her eyes, sat up rubbing them: “Hmm…are we here?”

“Yes, we’re here.”

Lu Sheng turned her head and noticed that the man’s black shirt had become wrinkled from her leaning, and she was wrapped in his large suit jacket.

“It’s cold outside, keep the jacket on. There’s a business card in the pocket, I’ve written my personal cellphone number on it.”

“And this,” Li Muchen handed over a box beside him, “this pearl was indeed bought because of you.”

Li Muchen looked at Lu Sheng, pausing before saying, “If you like this kind of thing, I can get you a larger one later on.”

“No need, this size is just right.”

A larger pearl would be too much for Black Bean to play with.

Lu Sheng unapologetically took the Luminous Pearl from Li Muchen’s hand, tilted her head looking at him saying, “…Then I’ll be on my way?”

Chen An had already gone over to help Lu Sheng open the car door, waiting outside.

Seeing the young girl say goodbye, Li Muchen felt an unexpected tinge of reluctance.

But his face did not betray his feelings, only calmly responding with a “Hmm.”

Yet, Lu Sheng suddenly smiled, seemingly in a very good mood.

“Go rest well, and remember to drink red ginseng water.”

As Lu Sheng spoke, she leaned in and surprisingly kissed Li Muchen’s lips in front of Chen An.

Whispering into his ear, she said, “We don’t have to do that kind of thing, but kissing is still okay, right?”

Chen An remained petrified in the wind, unable to process what had happened even after Lu Sheng had entered the Lu Mansion.

This Lu Sheng was truly bold.

To dare kiss the boss right there in front of him.

However, Chen An didn’t know that this was already the third peck-like kiss between the two.

“Boss, are you fond of Miss Lu Sheng?” Chen An couldn’t help but ask after getting into the car.

“…Fond?” Li Muchen was slightly taken aback.

Chen An tilted his head, analyzing, “Although you’ve just met Miss Lu Sheng, it seems like you care a lot about Miss Lu, and she seems to like you a lot.”

“You two seem… to get along very well.”

Li Muchen took a deep breath.

The feeling of a slight swelling in his heart, mixed with a hint of excitement and pleasure, was this what liking someone was supposed to be like?

It seems like he was already looking forward to the next meeting.

—

After sleeping in the car, Lu Sheng felt rejuvenated.

It was already almost midnight.

The living room was empty; besides the servant who had opened the door for her, all the other servants had gone to rest.

Other members of the Lu Family, such as Jiang Ting, Lu Jingyan, Lu Qianrou, and Lu Youye, were all sleeping in their rooms on the second and third floors.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng thought that sleeping in a guest room on the first floor was quite nice, at least she didn’t have to see those people.

However, as soon as Lu Sheng opened the door of the guest room, she was unexpectedly snatched up by the person inside.

“Hey! Why are you coming back so late, do you know how long I’ve waited for you?!”

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

The tall, short-haired young man with a heroic appearance pinned Lu Sheng against the door, his willful eyes flashing with a wild fierceness.

Their bodies were very close, as he looked down at her with a ferocious gaze, his face full of aggressive momentum.

—It was Lu Youye.

Lu Sheng didn’t expect to find Lu Youye in her room and found it bewildering.

“…Fifth Brother, why are you in my room, what are you waiting for me for?”

“How dare you ask me!” Lu Youye’s eyes looked as though he wanted to devour Lu Sheng, “I ask you, what did you do to Qianrou at Fu Family’s party tonight?”

Lu Sheng blinked somewhat blankly, “What did I do to her?”

“You’re still playing dumb with me!” Lu Youye seemed even angrier.

“Qianrou came back alone from the Fu family’s so early tonight, the family doctor came to check on her heart, she said her heart was uncomfortable and kept crying, she wouldn’t say what happened when asked.”

“Qianrou usually comes back happy from every party, but just today when you also went, she turned out like this. I asked if it was something you did, and she cried even harder.”

“I’m telling you, I absolutely will not tolerate you bullying Qianrou, in my heart she is my only sister.” Lu Youye warned, “If you dare bully her again, I won’t let you off!”

Lu Sheng paused for a moment before saying, “Fifth Brother, I didn’t do anything, and I certainly didn’t bully her.”

Lu Youye clearly didn’t believe what Lu Sheng said, and coldly said, “Then what happened to Qianrou tonight, why did she suddenly end up like this?”

“The Fu Family’s charity dinner tonight was fully covered by the media, Fifth Brother, if you want to know what happened, you can look for the videos online.”

Seeing Lu Youye hesitate, Lu Sheng freed herself from his grip, and said somewhat coldly, “If after watching the video Fifth Brother still thinks I bullied Qianrou, then it’s not too late to come find me. But it’s already very late, I want to rest.”

The young girl in front of him was asking him to leave.

Her tone and gaze were both cool and indifferent, as if she was angry, yet mixed with a hint of grievance from being misunderstood.

Could it really be that he had misunderstood her?

Lu Youye took a deep breath, about to speak, but his gaze suddenly caught the sight of the suit jacket on Lu Sheng’s body.

“Wait,” Lu Youye frowned, and said, “Why are you wearing a man’s jacket—whose clothes are these?”

Lu Youye carelessly tugged, but accidentally pulled down the suit jacket. Catching sight of the vast expanse of bare skin on the girl’s back, he couldn’t help but hold his breath.

Slim, fair, beautiful.

It was the kind of beauty that would make a man’s eyes linger.

Seeing Lu Sheng dressed like this for the party made Lu Youye inexplicably angry.

“No, is this how you dressed for the banquet today??”
