The day of the banquet.

"Boss Lu, Boss Huang called and said he has signed the proposal sent this morning."

Assistant Min stood in front of Lu Xiao's desk and quietly reported his work: "In addition, you need to handle work in the morning and attend a meeting to discuss new acquisition projects. In the afternoon, you need to meet with Mr. Bai, the vice president of Snow Coast Finance, and attend a banquet in the evening."

Lu Xiao was replying to an email. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at Assistant Min through the thin lenses with a calm, slightly intimidating gaze.

"..." Special Assistant Min had a bad feeling.

Lu Xiao: "The afternoon one will be postponed to the evening banquet."

Special Assistant Min insisted: "Snow Coast Finance is an important client, it would be best if we could take time out to discuss the plan."

Lu Xiao still looked at him quietly without saying a word.

"...Okay." Special Assistant Min changed his words numbly.

It is estimated that the president's reason is Master Shen again, and he is already used to it.

Since falling in love with Master Shen, the president has never worked overtime again. He has turned down all the social events and meetings that he could. His image as a workaholic has been completely destroyed...

Throughout the morning, Yunxiao’s internal gossip group [Did President Lu get married today? (Anonymity required)] had been buzzing, causing the only unmonitored toilet to be in short supply and continue to be full.

Cup: Mr. Lu was slacking off in the meeting today! He always suddenly opens his phone to check, then instantly locks the screen, and his eyes become more and more disappointed each time!

Qingcai: I am definitely waiting for my husband's call! This is the most stingy working time in the Lu Zong, and only Mr. Mascot can occupy it! I am so happy!

Duo Luo Luo: But Shen Ci has been taking classes recently. My friends at Yunxiao Entertainment said that he is very hardworking and often takes the initiative to take extra classes for training. He is the last one to leave the company every day! He is indeed the boss's man.

Water Snake: Moreover! I heard that every night when I go home, the president personally picks me up! Although no one dares to take pictures, it’s so sweet just thinking about it! President Lu dotes on Lao Gong too much!

Juice: I really like lemons! I have never seen anyone get on his car except Shen Ci! After all, Shen Ci is the mascot of Yunxiao Group, second only to the first person and above all others...

Dahai: This "Under One Person" is very spiritual. It must be very exciting for General Lu to pick oranges! His smile gradually became perverted...

Baiguo: Ms. Lu should get married as soon as possible. It would be better for her to do housework at home and stop oppressing the propertyless class!

Blue Song: On the rooftop!

Wine and meat: On the top floor!

…

The anonymous gossip group was flooded with messages from nearly a hundred "top-level people", all talking nonsense.

Lu Xiao was unaware of this. He frowned and checked the WeChat message again, then locked the screen.

It was not until lunch time that Lu Xiao saw the reply he wanted.

Baby: Ah! I slept until noon, so cool! Uncle, I just saw the message you sent this morning...

Baby: Just call me when you come to pick me up in the evening! Has uncle eaten yet? Come and have lunch.

Baby: My brother forced me to eat and told me not to play with my phone anymore. We’ll talk about it later!

Baby: [Momo]

The emoticon is a light orange kitten that suddenly moves closer to the camera and gives a kiss, with a little love heart attached.

Lu Xiao stroked the screen, raised the corner of his lips, suppressed his voice, and whispered "OK".

The personal assistant who was preparing meals for Lu Xiao's father-in-law almost knocked the dishes over onto the company documents when her hands shook.

He was so scared that he quickly looked at Lu Xiao's reaction. Fortunately, he was still staring at his phone, seemingly looking through the chat records.

As Lu Xiao raised his arm, his cuffs dropped a little, and the assistant vaguely noticed that there was a black hair tie on Lu Xiao's bony right wrist.

assistant:???

Wait, isn’t Lu Xiao pursuing Young Master Shen?

This kind of hair tie is usually prepared for girls, right? !

***

Shen Ci, with messy hair, was lying on the bed, holding his cell phone and grinning foolishly, when Shen Bie ruthlessly took away his phone.

Shen Bie said angrily: "Lazy pig, you slept till now and didn't even have breakfast, hurry up and get out of bed and eat!"

Shen Ci stuck out his tongue at him and said lazily, "I know."

As a result, he continued to act like a spoiled brat, hugging the pillow and lying on the bed without moving.

"..." Shen Bie had no choice but to do it himself. He lifted his brother, who was playing tricks and kicking his legs, off the bed, took the hair band on the bedside and tied his messy hair into a small bun. He then half-carried and half-pulled Shen Ci to the bathroom and stared at him while he washed up.

Shen Ci sighed and thought about random things while brushing his teeth.

If it were my uncle, seeing how sleepy he was, he would definitely let him continue sleeping.

My brother is really a devilish mother!

Shen Ci rolled his eyes at the mirror, and naturally received a slap from Shen Bie: "What are you scolding me for again?"

Still a violent old mother, Shen Ci thought with tears in his eyes, covering his head and not daring to speak.

Shen Bie hurried over from the company at noon, called Shen Ci to eat, and then hurried back.

Alone at home, Shen Ci was bored in the afternoon and fell on the bed to watch Wei Shuo's daily live broadcast.

Wei Shuo was chatting with a gaming host named Qinggua on the live broadcast, his hands clacking at the keyboard and swearing.

The two top anchors of Cucumber were connected via live broadcast, and the barrage of comments exploded.

"He's as fierce as a tiger in his operations, but his performance is nothing but a fool..."

"Fuck, this is too bad. This Shuo Shuo is useless. Let's chop it up and start over!"

"Brother Shuo, just admit defeat and call me daddy. I feel so sad that you lost, hahahaha."

Wei Shuo was clearly being pressed to the ground, but he was still trash-talking with an extremely arrogant attitude: "Yin Bian, if you have the guts, come and fight me face to face! You are nothing but a loser in the game!"

The hero of the live broadcast suddenly emerged from the bushes, pinned Wei Shuo to the ground and killed him in seconds, holding back a smile and saying slowly: "It's impossible to fight. I can only maintain my life by bullying noobs like you in the game."

Wei Shuo was furious: "Fuck!"

Shen Ci was almost dying of laughter at his childhood friend's talk, so he just cracked some melon seeds and happily treated it as a crosstalk, and watched it until the evening.

When Lu Xiao called, the car had already arrived downstairs.

Shen Ci quickly got up to clean up, and then he realized that his lips were burning, and when he touched them, they were swollen...

Shen Ci glanced at the trash can guiltily, and saw half a bucket of melon seed shell remains inside.

Through the dim car window, Lu Xiao noticed Shen Ci as soon as he walked out of the apartment door.

A bunch of hair popped out from under Shen Ci's duckbill cap. He wore a baggy white T-shirt and carried a backpack like a good student.

Shorts, socks and canvas shoes reveal beautiful pink knees and thin, white and straight calves.

Despite wearing sunglasses and a mask, he still attracted passers-by to look back frequently, and many girls even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

After all, such a clean boy is very rare. One of them even recognized him at first sight but was considerate enough not to disturb him.

Clear, translucent, pure.

Lu Xiao watched passers-by's gazes from afar, and suddenly felt that Shen Ci was like a flawless jade, wantonly attracting the world's astonished glances, but too fragile to withstand overly rough treatment.

But those thousands of prying, greedy eyes shouldn't exist.

The light inside the car was too dim, and Lu Xiao's deep eyes were hidden in the dark, shining with cold light like obsidian.

Shen Ci once wanted to stand in the spotlight, wanted to make the annoying Bai Ziwei disappear, and even wanted to have a love affair with Shao Jinhuan... As long as Shen Ci likes, Lu Xiao will do his best to help him do it, even if it means deliberately ignoring his own feelings.

But now it’s different, Shen Ci is his.

Shen Ci would trust him unconditionally, would throw tantrums out of pride, would childishly assert his sovereignty, and on certain nights would lie in his arms with red eyes, holding onto his throbbing neck with fear and anticipation.

The morbid and twisted desire hidden in the deepest part gradually rose up. Lu Xiao's tongue slowly moved across his dry and thin lips like a snake's tongue, and his eyes became increasingly darker.

The baby likes him very much, so can I hide the baby?

Is that ok?

"Uncle!" Shen Ci smiled, opened the car door, took off his sunglasses, and his delicate deer eyes curved into small crescents.

Lu Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Shen Ci as if he suddenly woke up.

The dark dust that had just floated up sank to the bottom in an instant when it met Shen Ci's smiling eyes that were as bright as stars sinking into a lake.

"What's wrong? You look a little bad." Shen Ci sat down and poked Lu Xiao's arm.

Lu Xiao curled his lips slightly and avoided his gaze: "Nothing."

After waking up, Lu Xiao felt a vague sense of fear in his heart, as if he was possessed by a ghost.

If we really break Shen Ci's wings and keep him in a cage like a canary, we will never see him smile again.

Rather than having Shen Ci all to himself forever, Lu Xiao didn't want to see him sad.

Shen Ci didn't think much about it. He smiled and hugged Lu Xiao's arm, humming a song, feeling happy.

Lu Xiao looked down at him with gentle eyes, gently pulled out Shen Ci's hair that had grown long for acting, hooked it with his fingertips, and threw away the original hair tie.

"It's already grown to my chin. It's so hot in the summer..."

Shen Ci pulled down half of his mask to cover his lips, letting Lu Xiao play with his hair while leaning lazily against Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao pulled down the hair tie on his right wrist, and combed his soft hair with his slender fingers. He clumsily gathered up his half-long hair and tied it into a new small bun.

"My uncle is so awesome." Shen Ci quickly pulled down his mask, kissed Lu Xiao on the chin, and quickly pulled it up again.

My lips are swollen from cracking melon seeds...so embarrassing.

Lu Xiao smiled gently, his fingertips slowly stroking the hair tie he had tied himself, his eyes gradually darkening.

This is not bad, as it has trapped Shen Ci.

***

Tonight's banquet will be held at the Victor Hotel, which has the largest banquet hall in G City.

Many luxury cars and supercars were parked in the underground parking lot. When the celebrities got out of their cars and happened to meet acquaintances, they would stop and chat for a few minutes.

A black Bentley with smooth curves drove in, passed by a few ladies who were chatting while walking, found a designated parking space, slowly stopped, and turned off the lights.

"Oh my, that parking space is reserved by Yunxiao, right? Mr. Lu is here."

"Will you bring your baby? Unfortunately I didn't bring a camera, so I can only take pictures with my phone..."

"It's too dangerous for you to go out alone. I feel more at ease with Mr. Lu around."

"Oh, I'm waiting to attend the wedding...why haven't they gotten married yet?"

“…”

Several of my close friends happened to be fans of Shen Ci’s mother, and they all looked at the black car with shining eyes, looking very much in anticipation.

The noble lady who was at the end had no intention of joining the discussion, and she was walking gracefully with a beautiful girl on her arm.

Both of them were dressed extremely luxuriously, with charming and exquisite makeup. They were carrying the latest platinum bags and squinting their eyes to look at the Bentley that had just stopped.

"Xiaoyan, look whose car that is? Is it the man you always dream about?" The lady whispered to her daughter with a smile.

The girl lowered her head shyly and tucked her hair behind her ears with her slender fingers: "Mom, what are you talking about..."

The noble lady curled her red lips and said, "Why are you shy? Aren't you shouting that you want to be Mrs. Lu now?"

A glimmer of greed flashed in the girl's eyes, and she half-heartedly agreed: "But Mr. Lu has already said that he wants to pursue the young master of the Shen family, and it seems that he has deep feelings for her. How can he be interested in me..."

The lady raised her small chin and said contemptuously, "So what if they have deep feelings for each other? Your father's ex-wife was a lady from a prominent family, and she grew up with your father. They were said to have a deep relationship for more than 20 years, and the two were even considered a good marriage in those days."

She then sneered and said smugly, "But after your father met the young and beautiful me, the old woman was still chased away in disgrace. Good men have to be robbed."

"Men think with their lower body. Weren't you the school beauty? No matter how good-looking Shen Ci is, he is still a man. How can he compare to the tenderness and gentleness of a girl? He can't even have children!"

The girl became more excited as she listened, and her eyes suddenly became eager as she looked towards the driver of the Land Cruiser.

Mom was right. Moreover, Shen Ci was an idol in the entertainment industry, the most shameful plaything in the upper class. She felt ashamed when an outsider mentioned him.

After all, she still has several companies on hand. Shen Ci only knows how to squander money. How can he compare to her kindness?

While they were talking, Lu Xiao and Shen Ci had already gotten out of the car, their arms linked together, which made the girl jealous.

"My dear, if you like it, mom will definitely help you!" The lady kept urging her daughter, her mind calculating.

Lu Xiao is handsome, clean, and has a large family. Who could not be tempted by such a husband?

All the members of the Lu family had died, and Lu Xiao had also killed all the collateral relatives. When his daughter gave birth to a child of the Lu family, all the Yun Xiao and Pang family property would definitely belong to them.

Moreover...even if her daughter doesn't live up to her expectations after marriage, it will be convenient for her to seduce Lu Xiao to get promoted.

The girl was persuaded and nodded shyly.

The ladies walking in front suddenly stopped.

"Mrs. Yang, what were you saying just now? It didn't sound like good words." The charming woman in the lead crossed her arms and turned around, asking coldly.

Madam Yang raised her eyebrows charmingly: "Hey, Miss Xu, you come from a big family like me and you also learn to eavesdrop? Isn't it shameful?"

Miss Xu sneered: "The dog barked so loudly, and you blame me for having good ears?"

"You!" Mrs. Yang was so angry that she was speechless for a moment.

Yang Yan's face turned ugly, but she didn't dare to say a word.

Each of the three noble ladies in front of them was more powerful than the Yang family and should not be easily provoked.

But if she married Lu Xiao...which of these families would not allow Mrs. Lu to bully them?

Yang Yan suppressed the grievance and anger in her eyes and became more and more determined to win over Lu Xiao.

Miss Xu laughed sarcastically: "Mom is shameless, I didn't expect my daughter to follow suit! The Yang family's mess, if I tell anyone about it, it will only sully my mouth."

"That's right, why don't you look in the mirror? Can the two of you compare to a hair on my head? Ugly people are really the cause of all the trouble."

"Let's not talk about whether Mr. Lu likes you or not. If Zizi really likes him, we will snatch him away no matter how hard we try! Humph!"

"Okay, okay, the little girl is crying, don't scold the old one to make her cry too. Such a thick foundation, it will be awful if it gets smudged."

Miss Xu held her sister's arm and smiled softly before turning around: "I'm warning you, if you dare to make our son sad... you won't be able to get away with it just by going bankrupt or going to jail. Then I'll let you see the sinister nature of human beings~"

The three best friends walked away arm in arm, leaving the mother and daughter, who had been severely humiliated, standing there gritting their teeth with sullen faces.

"I just don't believe I can't hook up with Lu Xiao! Xiaoyan, stop crying, let's go!"

***

The hotel specially set up a dressing room for Shen Ci, which is spacious and bright.

Min Shoubei had already informed Shen Ci that he had hired a stylist to style his hair tonight. When Shen Ci asked, he found out that the stylist was a world-renowned stylist...

Shen Ci can often be seen in various fashion magazines. He is the man behind many top stars. He flies to and fro on different red carpets every day and is a very busy man.

This made Shen Ci feel so frightened that she was trembling with fear from the moment she entered the door to the moment she sat in front of the dressing mirror.

As a result, when the stylist arrived, he immediately started shouting exaggeratedly and circling around Shen Ci.

"This skin is really worthy of its reputation." The stylist pinched Shen Ci's face and gently pressed and played with it with her fingers, and exclaimed: "It's almost as if you can squeeze out water from it, it's so natural."

Shen Ci felt pain from being pinched, but he dared not say a word.

"Wow, it's so white and tender that I can't even see the pores. It's so delicate!"

"The lips are so moist and the fat lips are so sexy! So pure and sexy!"

"Oh my god - these little deer eyes are so moist and look like they are filled with little stars. They are so beautiful!"

"..." Shen Ci suspected that he was pinched by him and the pain made him cry.

"Why do you need makeup when you're so pretty?" The stylist said, "Just put it on!"

Shen Ci: ???

Shen Ci thought he was exaggerating and joking, but the stylist actually closed her makeup bag and told Shen Ci to change into her dress quickly.

"Dress?" Shen Ci was confused. Isn't this something prepared by the stylist?

The stylist was stunned: "Your dad said to bring your own."

"It's here." Lu Xiao said lightly, and someone happened to knock on the dressing room door.

Special Assistant Min came in holding a white dress shirt, followed by several of Lu Xiao's assistants, who were carefully holding shirts, pants and other clothes in their hands for fear of wrinkling the expensive custom-made dress.

"Sorry, boss, I'm late." Special Assistant Min bowed his head to apologize.

"Just right!" The stylist happily went to get the clothes, took a closer look, and suddenly exclaimed: "This logo is - a dress designed by Master Herbert? Oh my God, my former boss made an appointment for half a year but still couldn't get a number, this, this, this..."

The stylist was so excited that he was incoherent, his eyes glued to it, unable to move away: "Damn, it's impossible to get it without millions, no, no, this is a priceless treasure..."

Shen Ci had also heard of Hao Bot's reputation. The founder of a certain luxury brand, he designed no more than three dresses a year, and the finished products were unique worldwide.

For someone to be able to successfully reserve a custom order, unless he is extremely influential, it basically depends on metaphysics.

There are many big-name stars who have been dating for seven or eight years, but still haven't gotten a date until they are no longer popular.

If a wealthy family occasionally gets a set, they can collect it as a treasure.

Lu Xiao must have put a lot of effort into this haute couture dress, but he just gave it to him so casually.

Shen Ci was very touched, but he still had a question in his mind: "How did you know my size?"

Lu Xiao raised the corners of his eyes, stretched out his big hand innocently, pursed his lips and smiled, and waved slightly towards Shen Ci.

No one in the room understood except Shen Ci.

Shen Ci's face flushed immediately, he quickly lowered his head to pick up the shirt and walked towards the fitting room, not daring to look at Lu Xiao, the emotion that had just been aroused in him instantly disappeared.

This big rascal...what he meant was to remember the size by touching it with his hands!

***

The Min family and the Shen family arrived at the venue early to receive the guests, and most of the people who received the invitation letters had already arrived.

Celebrities gathered there, and everyone was dressed elegantly. Before the party officially started, they began to socialize spontaneously and started chatting with people they wanted to get to know.

"The Shen family... no, the young master of the Min family is really lucky."

"That's right. His family is so powerful. I heard that Lu Xiao is also pursuing him?"

"Oh, you are worthy of being Mr. Lu. Such a pretty face, it must be so cool to fuck it, tsk tsk..."

"Tsk - you can't let those women hear this, they are so protective of Shen Ci!"

"I'm just kidding. Why hasn't this handsome young man come yet? It's okay to feast your eyes on him."

The side door of the banquet hall clicked, and the waiter pushed open the tall wooden door with a low-key luxury style.

Many curious eyes were cast over, and tonight's protagonist Shen Ci finally arrived and walked slowly into the hall side by side with Lu Xiao.

The noise in the banquet hall began to fade away and the whole place gradually became quiet.
