Chapter 29



Seeing Li Changsi suddenly approaching, a dark light flashed in Lu Qi's eyes, but he finally did not push her away.

He didn't like strangers to get close to him. He and Li Changsi had only met three times, but her scent wasn't bad, it was even pleasant, like wild soapberries, fresh, natural, and unrestrained with a hint of wildness, just like her.

The third time they met, he still didn't see through her, and she even forced him to come close to her. A bit presumptuous!

Before Lu Qi lowered the corners of his lips, the other party had already loosened the collar of his shirt and sat back dejectedly, his delicate little face looking a little lost and a little tired.

A sense of loss welled up in her heart. Was she looking for a taste, or a person?

It wasn't the taste she remembered; perhaps that moment just now was just an illusion. Li Changsi lowered her eyes, her mood suddenly turning extremely bad.

Every winter, on the first snowfall, her teacher would pick her up and take her to Mount Guoyun. Then she would put aside her heavy schoolwork and her troublesome brothers and sisters and go up the mountain happily.

This is the agreement between them.

On the first snowfall, she could take a day off. Her husband would always wait for her by the mountain path. He would walk ahead, treading on the snow, while she would follow behind, stepping into the puddles he had made, having a blast. When they got tired, her husband would bend down and carry her on his back.

She hugged his neck, smelling the fresh scent of fresh snow on his neck, and smiled with crooked eyes: "Sir, you smell so good, like the scent of fresh snow."

He chuckled softly, "Snow has no taste."

"Yes, it's the smell of sir." She couldn't tell what the smell was exactly. It was one of the rare happy times in her youth, bright and without a trace of cloud.

So when they fell out later, he said coldly and mercilessly that she just lacked fatherly love. She did lack love, but it was enough for her to have a foolish and ruthless father. Did she want a second father?

She coveted his beauty, his radiant appearance, and the thing in his hands that was more terrifying than power. She just wanted to get her hands on him, to pull the holy god down from the altar and sink into the mortal world with her.

It's all about possessiveness. So sad.

Li Changsi glanced at Lu Qi's remarkably similar face, lowered her eyes, and asked in the group chat for the first time: "Is it okay if I just want to sleep with a man and don't want to take responsibility?"

The group was instantly shocked.

Tian Ye: I was drinking water and nearly choked to death. Li Changsi, do you want to scare me to death so that you can inherit my Ant Huabei?

Lin Lushen: Hehe, sister, have you never been in love? Of course you can!

Xuan Yiyi: Some men cannot be touched because they can easily cause sexual irritation, but others are up to you.

For example, people like Wei Zhenxi and Bai Zhuo run away after sleeping, which can easily lead to accidents.

Song Xingyue: Changsi, is there someone you like?

Song Xingyue was extremely nervous. This was an obvious fact. She had fallen in love with Bai Zhuo eight hundred years ago and had been crazy about him for three years. Everyone knew it.

Bai Zhuo: Maybe the other party wants to take responsibility.

He is actually willing to take responsibility.

Director Zhao: Sorry, I joined the wrong group.

Director Zhao: Li Changsi, do you think this is your emotional hotline? Go home and do your homework.

Tian Ye: Hahahaha, Director Zhao, don't be like that. Changsi is so down-to-earth for once. I'm curious about who that man is. How stunning must he be to make the hard-hearted Li Changsi fall in love with him?

Li Changsi: @林鹿深, does unrequited love count as being in love? The other person doesn't like me, so I want to find a replacement.

Tian Ye: Damn, Sister Si is so domineering!

Bai Zhuo: ???

Are you talking about him? Looking for a substitute? Why would he need a substitute when the real boss is in front of her?!

Meng Xun: I can only say, my sister is so beautiful and wild! Awesome!

Ran Lin: There is no need to take any responsibility at all, just sleep peacefully!

Rong Shu: Ahem, please don’t teach Changsi bad things!

Lin Lushen: Wow, is this body double literature? I love reading this kind of novel the most. Come on, sister.

Tian Ye: Xiaolu, what kind of nonsense novels are you reading? Why don’t you just focus on writing lyrics, composing music and writing songs?

Bai Zhuo: It’s better to have a serious relationship and get married.

Li Changsi lowered his eyes. That was no hope. People like Lu Qi had a strong desire for control.

She typed casually: Just kidding~I’m going to sleep.

Everyone in the group breathed a sigh of relief. Li Changsi was truly capable of earth-shattering achievements. It seemed like everything she had done since they'd met her had been quite sensational. Hopefully, she wouldn't be forced into marriage one day just because she slept with someone.

Li Changsi quickly regained the coldness and ruthlessness that belonged to the Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, a substitute is just a substitute.

The Bentley quickly arrived at the Cultural Relics Bureau. The bureau had been working overtime all night and had discovered a shipwreck in the waters off a naturally deserted island. This had alerted the higher-ups, and the salvaged artifacts were flown directly to the bureau for identification, restoration, and archaeological work, with plans to display them later.

The people from the Cultural Relics Bureau have been working all night for several days.

The maritime department is not having an easy time either. The most aggressive party at the moment is the Great Sun Empire, which is demanding the return of their sunken ship and is currently wrangling with them.

The staff had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw the low-key and restrained Bentley arrive, they hurried forward.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm already waiting inside."

The salvage of the shipwreck remains is complicated, time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. The owner of the deserted island, the mysterious Mr. Lu, fully funded the salvage and did not ask for a penny. The entire Cultural Relics Bureau was delighted, after all, he is a top billionaire.

When Lu Qi got out of the car, the staff's heart skipped a beat. He had a tall and slender figure, and his black turtleneck looked elegant and sexy. In the night, his handsome and solemn facial features were hidden in the shadows of the lights, like a bottomless black hole that attracted people to explore.

This mysterious Mr. Lu is so handsome!

After Lu Qi got out of the car, he stood by the door for a second, waiting for Li Changsi to get out. After seeing Mr. Lu's handsome face, the staff felt that they could still bear it when they saw Li Changsi again.

The two were led into the bureau in a daze. It took the staff a long time to react. Oh my god, that was Li Changsi, so beautiful in person! She and Mr. Lu were a perfect match.

As soon as Li Changsi and Lu Qi entered the Cultural Relics Bureau, they were warmly invited in by the deputy director.

In fact, the Cultural Relics Bureau invited Lu Qi and Li Changsi to come and give commendations and share their joy. After all, salvaging such a national artifact is of great significance.

"The first shipwreck has been completely salvaged, yielding over 10,000 pieces of porcelain, 80% of which are intact. They are all treasures from the Song Dynasty. We speculate this is the true Batusitam shipwreck, which has been buried on the seabed for at least a thousand years. The one salvaged by the Germans in 1999 was probably the daughter ship of a mother ship, with this being the mother ship."

The deputy director said excitedly.

In 1999, the Germans salvaged more than 60,000 pieces of exquisite porcelain, which the Cultural Relics Bureau still regrets. Unexpectedly, this time they discovered the real Batusitamu shipwreck, and every piece of porcelain on it is a rare treasure.

Li Changsi looked at the porcelain on display. Among them was a green-glazed and gold-painted porcelain vase, which depicted exquisite patterns such as hunting and outings. Its exquisiteness was indeed not inferior to that of the Zhou Dynasty.

"A large amount of gold and gems were discovered on the second shipwreck we're salvaging. It's estimated to be over 40 tons, with a market value of several billion." The deputy director was halfway through his sentence when his phone rang. He quickly said with a smile, "Excuse me, both of you. I have to go take a call."

The call was from above. The deputy director was shocked and terrified when he received the call. Why was they calling so late at night? Could something have happened at the shipwreck ruins?

"Old Wu, did you invite Mr. Lu to the bureau?"

The deputy director was stunned and asked, "How do you know? He just arrived not long ago."

"You, you, you! What can I say about you? You are the only one who can make trouble in the middle of the night." The other party was so anxious that he jumped up and down. Who was that guy? He was too lazy to go out for eight hundred years, and now he was called to the bureau in the middle of the night to listen to him bragging about national treasures.

"You may not know this, but this is a major discovery. These are Ru kiln pieces from the Song Dynasty. Each piece is priceless. I invited Mr. Lu and Ms. Li here so they can see this national treasure."

The person on the phone laughed. What kind of antiques hasn't Mr. Lu seen? The person directly stated that they would not take a penny of the huge amount of money salvaged from the shipwreck, but would pay the huge salvage fee for free and help with the international lawsuit later.

"I can't explain it to you clearly. Please treat him well and send Mr. Lu away quickly. Oh, and you should also hurry home from get off work and go to bed."

Really, I didn't expect that the people below could actually persuade that person. It must be raining red today.

"Yes, leader." The deputy director laughed and hung up the phone. He took two steps and suddenly realized that something was wrong. A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his palms.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when Li Changsi came out of the Cultural Relics Bureau. He had been filming all day and was extremely sleepy. And to be honest, he had no interest in seeing such boring things as porcelain.

She has passed the age of middle school where she would collect beautiful treasures in her bedroom and touch them before going to bed. She would leave beautiful things where they were and admire them from afar, and the same goes for people.

"It's getting late. I'll take you back and you can take a nap in the car."

Lu Qi glanced at the flashy night scene and spoke in a low voice.

"Thank you."

Li Changsi fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. His consciousness fell into layer upon layer of dark fog. He felt drowsy and always felt a fresh and familiar smell at the tip of his nose, as if he had smelled it many years ago.

Lu Qi lowered his eyes and looked at Li Changsi calmly. When watching the national artifacts tonight, she was very perfunctory the whole time, without any interest, curiosity or excitement. She was obviously from a poor family, but she treated these as normal things.

Moreover, sleeping in the car of a man you don't know shows that you are not vigilant enough.

Lu Qi took a small blanket from the side and covered her with it. This time she didn't open her eyes. Her pink lips whispered softly, but the sound was too soft to be heard clearly. After that, she sniffed his scent like a puppy and rubbed her face against his.

Lu Qi: “…”

Song Mao, who was driving, accidentally glanced at the situation in the back seat and was so shocked that he almost stepped on the accelerator by mistake!

Li Changsi slept soundly in the car. After being woken up by Lu Qi, he was shocked to find himself downstairs of the apartment building.

She actually fell asleep in Lu Qi's car?

Li Changsi narrowed his eyes. After getting out of the car, he looked at the gentle gentleman sitting in the back seat and said nonchalantly, "Mr. Lu, that black card will be returned to its original owner one day."

Lu Qi was stunned. He neither nodded nor refused. His thick eyelashes like crow feathers concealed the emotions in his eyes.

Li Changsi's lips curled up. It was indeed him. That was why he said he didn't have time to see her at the mountaintop manor that day because he had already seen her.

Question: If your parents sold you to a wealthy top tycoon, who was not only handsome but also looked exactly like your white moonlight, would you go along with it or reject him coldly?
