"Where did you go?"

"Going shopping with Shuo...Wei Shuo."

"And more."

"I ran into someone I knew in the cafe and chatted for a while..."

“…”

Shen Ci sat beside Lu Xiao trembling with fear, as obedient as a quail.

Lu Xiao reached out and touched the soft hair on the back of Shen Ci's head, and said lightly: "So, you don't want to answer the phone?"

Shen Ci glanced at him anxiously: "My phone is in my backpack, so I can't hear the vibration... I'm sorry, uncle, I will pay more attention next time!"

His sight fell on the boy with his head bowed. Lu Xiao's hand, which was stroking the soft hair, had moved down at some point and covered the fair and tender neck, stroking it gently.

It is fragile and thin, and can be easily killed with the slightest force.

Lu Xiao's eyes were dark. The nervousness and palpitations he had felt when he couldn't contact Shen Ci just now slowly dissipated after he touched him again.

There are many people who want to do something to him recently, but Lu Xiao doesn't care at all. He is just afraid that they will set their sights on Shen Citou.

The little guy is delicate and fragile, and can't be touched at all.

It seems that we must hurry up and solve this problem.

A tingling sensation came from the back of his neck, like a weak electric current going up to his brain. Shen Ci looked up at Lu Xiao uncomfortably, wanting him to let go, but he was met with his deep and terrifying eyes, which seemed to be brewing a storm.

This look was exactly the same as the one he had yesterday when he rescued Shen Ci who accidentally fell into the water.

Shen Ci was still very frightened, but the corners of his mouth drooped, and a slight sourness and grievance rose in his heart.

He didn't mean it, and he felt guilty and apologized, but why was Lu Xiao always so fierce? Did he know that this look was scary?

An autocratic and dictatorial patriarch, huh!

Shen Ci knew that Lu Xiao was angry now, but perhaps it was the temper of a young master in his bones that made him unable to control his anger.

"I want to drink Coke." He dodged Lu Xiao's hand angrily, stood up and ran to the kitchen.

When passing by Lu Xiao, his arm was suddenly pulled by him - after feeling dizzy, Shen Ci came to his senses and found himself sitting on Lu Xiao's legs.

Somehow, his hands were placed on Lu Xiao's chest, their breaths overlapped inadvertently, and Shen Ci's face suddenly turned red.

Lu Xiao held his waist with one hand, and the warmth came through his thin clothes in an ambiguous way. Shen Ci was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to look.

"Where are you going now?"

Shen Ci suddenly came to his senses, remembered that he was still angry, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

He seemed to hear Lu Xiao chuckle helplessly.

"You're pouting so much that you can hang a pot on the ground. Are you feeling so wronged?" Lu Xiao reached out and gently touched Shen Ci's hair, his low voice a little hoarse.

The distance between the two seemed to be getting closer. Shen Ci's nervous breathing began to tremble. He quickly climbed down from Lu Xiao while biting his lower lip.

Lu Xiao let him do what he wanted, looking at the blush on Shen Ci's face that had not yet faded, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She is so easy to tease, but she can seduce people unconsciously when she does so.

"I'm calling to tell you that I'll be taking you to a charity auction in two days."

Somehow, his previous anger was extinguished. Shen Ci had a childish nature, and when he heard Lu Xiao reveal something new, his attention was quickly drawn away.

"Really?" Shen Ci was obviously looking forward to it, but he pretended not to care and spoke in a flat tone.

Lu Xiao smiled but said nothing. Shen Ci waited for a long time but received no response. He became a little anxious and looked up secretly.

What he saw was a faint smile on Lu Xiao's face. Shen Ci was extremely embarrassed when his thoughts were discovered. He quickly stood up again and "drank a Coke and escaped", and even made a big detour to stay away from Lu Xiao.

He took a big gulp of Happy Water, his thoughts still on the auction that Lu Xiao had just mentioned.

There... I should be able to find something to buy as a gift for Lu Xiao, right?

***

Shen Ci hasn't had any announcements recently, so he's been playing games and eating snacks at home, feeling quite relaxed and happy.

The charity auction that Lu Xiao mentioned was coming soon, and Shen Ci took a taxi directly to Yunxiao’s headquarters. Lu Xiao said that a stylist would do a hairstyle for him.

This was his second visit, and the front desk staff was afraid of being caught again, so they didn't dare to act rashly. They smiled and skipped the formalities and invited him to the president's special elevator.

They gave Shen Ci a black card, which was exclusively for this elevator.

"Mr. Lu told me last time that if Xiao Ci comes again, he should give you this card."

Shen Ci took the card and was about to leave when he saw the stars in the eyes of the ladies at the front desk full of regret. He took the initiative to take a photo with them and also signed several autographs.

The girls were delighted, but when they saw Shen Ci enter the elevator, they went crazy again.

"So cute! If I were Xiaoci's mother, I would definitely lock her up in the house every day and not let her go out. There are too many perverts and weirdos out there, they will definitely target Xiaoci, humph!"

"Well, do you remember the screenshots of the last meeting in the company group? Sisters, I think the boss is..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Don't spread rumors. The boss is clearly so cold. And - last night he turned the relationship into a father-son relationship in order to clear the scandal."

"Oh my, you really have the Internet all over the village. Now their couple is super popular on the Internet! Come, come, let me show you this clip. Raise him to be the person you love. Oh, it's so sweet..."

"No way, sir, you can even do this?!"

“…”

Of course, Shen Ci, who was looking forward to attending the auction, was unaware of these discussions.

As soon as he entered the president's office, Shen Ci was led by his assistant to the next suite. Lu Xiao had already finished his look and was standing by the mirror in the dressing room tying his tie.

He glanced at Shen Ci with a gentle look in his eyes: "Go put on your dress first. I've already chosen it for you."

Lu Xiao often attends some important occasions and brings his own gold medal styling team, whose professionalism is comparable to that of the stars of Yunxiao Entertainment.

Shen Ci nodded and hurried away, changing clothes, doing his hair, putting on light makeup... these stylists were well-trained and the whole process took only half an hour to complete.

Shen Ci stood up and looked around in front of the mirror. He was very satisfied and ran to Lu Xiao to ask for praise.

"Uncle, do you think this is okay?"

Lu Xiao, who was sitting back at his desk looking at documents, raised his eyes and was slightly startled.

Shen Ci hadn't worn such a formal suit for a long time. The off-white casual suit was simple and clean, tailored to his body, and it brought out his slender waist.

The elegant and noble temperament that he had cultivated since childhood finally showed up, and he looked like a dust-free young master. His delicate face was even more flawless under the modification of his hairstyle and light makeup, and his slight smile was dazzling and a bit blinding.

Lu Xiao suddenly felt a little regretful for customizing such a nice dress for him.

"Do you like it?" he asked casually.

Shen Ci was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Of course! Uncle, you actually know what size clothes I wear. They fit me perfectly."

Lu Xiao sighed inwardly, it seemed that he had to protect him well tonight.

"It looks great, let's go."

***

However, at the auction, Lu Xiao was unable to be with Shen Ci all the time.

Those old foxes have also arrived, and they estimate that their target is him. He must go and have a face-to-face talk with them.

Lu Xiao didn't want Shen Ci to know these things, so he couldn't keep him around.

Lu Xiao frowned and looked around, locking onto his target.

"Xiao Ci, you play with him first. I'm going to take care of something."

Shen Ci nodded silently, Lu Xiao glanced at Wei Shuo lightly, turned around and left.

Wei Shuo: “…” I feel like I was warned just now?

He shook his head and hugged Shen Ci happily: "Uncle Lu finally gave you to me! I saw it when you two just came in, but you didn't know it. The whole venue was silent for a moment, hahaha!"

Shen Ci was also happy and asked politely, "Oh? Why?"

"Because..." Wei Shuo smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Ci's chubby face: "You two are so good-looking! And you are dressed like a couple, one in black and one in white, wow..."

Shen Ci panicked and quickly looked down, and found that the styles were indeed vaguely similar.

"Wow, this is so embarrassing, what happened..." Shen Ci murmured.

Wei Shuo rolled his eyes where Shen Ci couldn't see. It seemed that after all the hints he gave, Shen Ci didn't understand a single thing?

"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Shen family? I've seen him online a lot recently. It's not easy to see his real face."

Someone came over with a glass of red wine and made a few jokes.

Shen Ci recognized him, Guo Qingming, the second generation of the Shen family's industrial competitor. His family had been quiet for a while due to food safety issues a few years ago, but has only recently started to pick up.

Unexpectedly, he started showing off as soon as there were signs of an upward trend.

Wei Shuo interrupted: "Why, you have money but nowhere to spend it so you come here to have some fun? But isn't your family trying to cut costs recently? Why are you here, Mr. Guo?"

This was a veiled criticism of the Guo family's current situation, and Guo Qingming looked a little unhappy.

The Wei family, like the Shen family, is on Lu Xiao's side. It was with Lu Xiao's support that the Wei family slowly started to grow and became the leader in the biotechnology industry.

In that case, they are all enemies of his Guo family!

After all, the Guo family was able to turn things around with the help of several elders from the Lu family. Recently, several elders were fighting with Lu Xiao, so of course he had to help.

"Tsk, I really don't want to talk to people like you. Forget about you, Wei Shuo, but now even Young Master Shen has joined the entertainment industry to become a star? Ugh, isn't that dirty?"

"Singing and dancing, performing arts and making jokes to attract attention, don't you think it's disgusting to make money with this? How is this different from a geisha? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Shen, you are not here to perform today, are you, hahaha..."

He looked at Shen Ci and Wei Shuo with pride as their faces became increasingly ugly, and he felt happy.

Anyway, there are only two of them here, what can they do to me?

At most they would just curse at him, but they couldn't run up and beat him up, so he wasn't afraid.

Wei Shuo gritted his teeth, sneered, and was about to start a fight, but suddenly someone came and pushed him away.

“Bang!”

A loud slap landed on Guo Qingming's face, causing a burning pain.

He was stunned, and immediately looked up in anger to see who was the blind man.

A group of noble ladies suddenly appeared in front of him, all glaring at Guo Qingming angrily. The seductive beauty in the lead rubbed her palms, her eyes wishing she could butcher Guo Qingming alive.

They soon began to talk at once.

"Is this the young man from the Guo family? He really doesn't know his place! Humph, who are you to mess with?"

"How dare you say such a little thing? Have you asked our fans? Anyone who dares to touch me will be punished!"

"Next time I go to have tea with Madam Shen, I'll have to talk to her about how we can't not give such a cute kid a bodyguard."

“…”

The young lady of the Bai family who runs a supermarket chain, the wife of the Liu family who is the leader of the paper industry, the eldest daughter of a multinational wine group...

Guo Qingming was so exhausted that he couldn't even recognize all of them.

With such a large gathering of famous people, he really couldn't afford to offend them!

Wei Shuo and Shen Ci, who were squeezed out of the circle, looked at each other in bewilderment: "???"

Shen Ci was dumbfounded. These... these are all his mommy fans? !
