However, the banquet hall was silent for only ten seconds before the explosion occurred.

"Fuck! Is Shen Ci the little prince on tour? He looks so elegant, so different from my impression of him!"

"Is someone teaming up to steal little Prince Min? Let me think about which companies I should use to propose marriage..."

"Although Mr. Lu is pursuing me, I am really tempted when I see him today... If he is willing to be friends with me, I will be willing to pay him ten times more to bring him into the team!"

"When Shen Ci was little, she was a cute little girl. She would either let her brother hold her or let Mr. Lu hold her. She would never let her feet touch the ground. Hahaha... If I had such a cute baby, I would definitely hold her in my hands and pamper her."

"Mr. Lu's face and figure are better than those of celebrities, so handsome! Can you give me a chance to pay for him..."

"Where did Shen Ci order his dress? The style looks like that of Master Herbert's... But last time I asked him, his assistant said that all the stores were fully booked for the next ten years! I'm so jealous."

"Young Master Min's status is not high enough, can President Lu solve the problem? I heard that he has a special seat at Master Hao Bote's?"

“…”

Shen Ciqian smiled and walked towards the center of the venue. People consciously made way for the two of them, leaving a small passage, but inquiring and admiring eyes still followed them.

Shen Ci had long been accustomed to being the center of attention, so he straightened his back to meet the gazes and imitated Lu Xiao's usual graceful and leisurely pace.

Under the bright lights of the banquet, Shen Ci's delicate facial features were covered with a thin layer of light, his deer eyes were lit up with bright stars, his black hair hanging down to his ears was temporarily curled up, and a few strands of hair were left on his forehead to frame his face.

The corners of her mouth are curved to just the right degree, her eyes are only slightly curved, and her smile is sweet enough not to be annoying.

There was a noisy sound in his ears, talking, clapping, walking... Shen Ci could hear envious sighs, unbridled whistles, and the frenzied discussions of some fans.

"Oh, sisters, look! My baby's lips are all swollen from Mr. Lu's kiss! So sweet, so sweet!"

"..." Shen Ci's mouth twitched, and he almost broke his perfect business smile.

If he said that he did it by eating melon seeds, would his fans believe it?

Forget it, this is too stupid, I might as well pass the blame to Lu Xiao.

"Did I kiss you and make you swollen?" Lu Xiao said in a hoarse voice.

What? This guy must be jealous because he doesn't know the truth. Then...

Shen Ci pretended to be innocent and tilted his head, his lips moving silently: "It's not you." It's Guazijun.

If you are jealous, just be thorough.

After Shen Ci finished speaking, he turned his eyes away, the corners of his mouth raised a little, and there was a sly smile in his eyes.

Faintly, Shen Ci seemed to hear his helpless chuckle.

The naive little prince walked slowly with the elegant tall knight behind him, calmly breaking through countless surprised and jealous gazes, and was escorted to his family.

"Here I come!"

Shen Ci squinted his eyes and dove into the crowd of acquaintances, excited and happy, like a silly dog ​​who danced with joy at the sight of his owner.

Wei Shuo was originally still shedding tears over Shen Ci's stunning beauty, but Shen Ci suddenly rushed towards him stupidly, and he instantly lost all feeling.

He rolled his eyes in disgust and pinched Shen Ci's cheek: "Stop talking!"

The little prince, who was originally an elegant and noble man, turned into a confused and naive person as soon as he started to speak.

Shen Ci slapped his childhood friend's hand away, gnashing his teeth and about to start a fight with him, but he was taken away by Min Shoubei and unexpectedly put on the podium.

Min Shoubei has a strange temper and never looks happy in public. But tonight he smiled slightly and formally introduced Shen Ci's identity to everyone. From his words, one could tell that he was in a good mood.

Shen's words were very accommodating and he was smiling throughout the whole process.

"…As for the question of whether or not it is appropriate to ask Shen Ci to make a movie, there is no need to discuss it any further."

"In a word, this script exists for him."

"No matter how he performs, I'll take care of it anyway."

Min Shoubei's words were so arrogant and domineering that not only the crowd of onlookers were immediately shocked, but even the person involved, Shen Ci, was stunned.

"Dad..." Shen Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Alright, alright, everyone just have fun." Min Shoubei didn't give Shen Ci a chance to speak and took him away again.

The main purpose of everyone tonight was to socialize, but after being amazed by the protagonist, many people shifted their focus and secretly looked at Shen Ci who was smiling obediently not far away, and many people surrounded him.

"You're wearing no makeup at all! My dear, you're so handsome! Are you interested in becoming the daughter-in-law or son-in-law of our Chu family? Our chain supermarkets are all over China. You won't have to worry about food and clothing, and you can also fulfill your childhood dream of opening a supermarket!"

"Xiao Ci, you like the entertainment industry, right? I just opened an entertainment company, and I have plenty of heavyweight resources! If you want to fall in love with me, you can choose any movie, TV or variety show."

"My daughter is also a star! Zhao Yuyu was selected as one of the 100 most beautiful faces in China a few years ago. She is a perfect match for Xiaoci. Xiaoci is going to get married sooner or later. She can't choose those ugly girls, right? Look at my Zhao family!"

“…”

Shen Ci was surrounded like a star, smiling awkwardly and repeating "I'm sorry" over and over again.

Please, please, he is a boy! How come other men besides Lu Xiao are interested in him?

And there were too many! Shen Ci's scalp was tingling.

I even felt like I was surrounded by a group of insurance salesmen, who were enthusiastically and crazily selling me insurance products...

Many acquaintances who were inexplicably squeezed out of Shen Ci’s side: ???

"Everyone, get out of here, those with a net worth less than 10 billion, say goodbye first." Shen Bie squeezed in again, guarding Shen Ci with a fierce face, and drove people away without giving them face.

Wei Shuo was much more violent. He dragged out a few young masters with lecherous eyes and scolded them in a gruff voice: "I think some of them are after his body? Get out of here!"

"Xiao Ci is a child of the Min family after all, and she will definitely be a superstar in the future," Min Song said in a cold voice, and was quite impolite: "I think most of them are not worthy of her."

Everyone was very dissatisfied with the sarcasm of the evil group from the mother's family, and continued to circle around and chatter, trying to impress the real owner Shen Ci.

Shen Ci's head was about to explode, thinking how could this become a blind date event? Or the kind where everyone had a heart-beating light on their head, waiting for him to shoot it out.

"Please make way for me."

A deep, magnetic voice chilled the entire venue, and the banquet hall suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.

The people surrounding Shen Ci turned around subconsciously, and saw Lu Xiao standing behind them at some point. He had a cold and murderous aura, was tall and slender, and was holding the earphone with a half-smile on his face.

He turned off the headset, handed it to his assistant, and walked towards Shen Ci.

A casual glance is enough to make people feel afraid and step back subconsciously to make way.

Prince Shen Ci's radiance was too bright tonight, and Lu Xiao, who followed closely behind him, looked like a gentle and handsome knight.

As a result, everyone almost forgot Lu Xiao's true identity, and some even became so proud of themselves that they ran to Shen Ci's side and competed with Lu Xiao for the person.

How could he be a gentle guardian knight? He was a ruler in the sky who climbed from the abyss to the top, a cold-blooded Shura who loved to kill people with borrowed knives, and a ruthless superior who stirred up the storm.

The noise in the banquet hall gradually started up again, but the area around Shen Ci was still as quiet as an icy cave.

Shen Ci stood in the middle in a daze. Lu Xiao was wearing a pure black suit tonight. The minimalist style made him look more elegant and restrained, with a faint smile on his lips.

Her deep eyes should have been sharp and intimidating, but after meeting Shen Ci's gaze, they were filled with doting and tenderness.

The evil gang from my mother's family was as quiet as a chicken: "..."

"Brother Ji...ah, not Brother Bie, forget it, forget it, he who knows the current affairs is a hero." Wei Shuo had already betrayed and immediately went to pull Shen Bie.

Shen Bie's expression was distorted, and he glanced around viciously, and found that the most reliable person was still Lu Xiao.

"..." He reluctantly moved aside, and Min Song was also pulled away by Wei Shuo.

The corners of Lu Xiao's lips softened, and he came in front of Shen Ci in a few steps. His overwhelming aura made him subconsciously take a few steps back.

"Uncle..." Shen Ci raised his head and called out softly, with a vague sense of crisis in his heart.

"Um?"

A low voice with a hint of laziness sounded, and Lu Xiao gently pinched Shen Ci's slender waist with his big hands, and suddenly leaned forward -

"!!!"

Damn, what is my uncle going to do!

Shen Ci was so frightened that he pursed his lips and closed his eyes. After a while, he only felt a soft touch on his forehead, which quickly separated.

Lu Xiao put his hands on Shen Ci's slender waist, glanced at the onlookers, and spoke lightly.

"Don't scare the kids."

Everyone: “…” Is this why you almost scared us to death!

A simple kiss on the forehead seemed to have stamped Shen Ci. The cats and dogs that were originally surrounding Shen Ci scattered, and no one dared to provoke Lu Xiao, the big Buddha.

She said she was pursuing him, but in the end she had firmly drawn Shen Ci into her circle, threatening everyone else not to have any ideas.

Only Lu Xiao could be so brazen and shameless... Everyone could only complain in their hearts, rolling their eyes in their hearts, staring at the little prince who was being taken away and sighing.

"Uncle, you are so awesome. You chased them away so easily!" Shen Ci's eyes were full of stars.

"It's a piece of cake." Lu Xiao smiled gently and adjusted his cufflinks slowly and methodically: "I'm going to meet a client first and will be back later."

He reached out and pinched Shen Ci's earlobe, whispering, "Don't walk too far by yourself, okay? Let your brother follow you when you go to the bathroom."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Shen Ci smiled indifferently, but seeing Lu Xiao's serious look, he had to change his words nervously and said "hmm".

Wei Shuo said in a frivolous tone: "Oh my, my husband is very strict..."

Shen Ci glared at him and kicked him, and the two almost started fighting again.

Lu Xiao touched Shen Ci's cheek affectionately, then turned to look for clients, with Special Assistant Min following behind him.

Min Shoubei invited many well-known directors and actors. Shen Ci followed Min Song in toasting them one by one and communicated with them in a humble manner, which earned him a lot of praise such as "very serious attitude", "well learned", "definitely a big hit", etc.

Min Shoubei specially arranged Shen Ci to do this, to gain some favor in front of the authoritative seniors, which might come in handy at some point.

Zhen Da saw that Shen Ci had some free time, so he came over and handed her a glass of attractive drink: "Little beauty, would you like a drink?"

Shen Ci raised his eyebrows. Did he think he was a fool? There must be something in this cocktail.

"I'm allergic to alcohol. Sorry." Shen Ci often used this excuse.

Zhen Da chuckled: "I knew you would say that. This is mixed juice!"

"..." Shen Ci lowered his head doubtfully and sniffed. Sure enough, he only smelled the sweetness of fruit.

He frowned and tried to come up with an excuse, but finally managed to say, "…There's still shaved ice in it, it's too cold, I'll drink it later."

Drink it later? Of course he will pour it out directly later!

Zhen nodded in understanding and said seriously, "Since you can have a baby, there must be those days every month. I understand. This is really delicious. I highly recommend it. Don't forget to drink it!"

The corners of Shen Ci's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to beat himself to death for talking nonsense earlier.

He took it reluctantly and placed it on the table behind him: "...Thank you for your understanding."

Zhen Dasha was happily sent away. Wei Shuo, who had just walked over, looked at his back suspiciously and muttered, "Where did this foreign idiot come from? Why does he smell like corn when he opens his mouth?"

Shen Ci held his forehead and said, "Don't worry about him."

Wei Shuo: "But the drink he just gave you looks good. I'm thirsty, so let me have a drink."

Shen Ci said quickly: "No, no!"

"Why not?" Shen Bie's voice came from behind.

Shen Ci turned around and was shocked to find Shen Bie holding a glass of juice and had already drunk half of it.

"...Fuck." Shen Ci was confused: "When did you come here? Why did you drink without asking?"

Shen Bie glanced at his brother and said, "It's just a glass of juice, right? Why are you so stingy?"

As he said this, he took another sip.

Shen Ci was stunned:???

He quickly got down and circled around Shen Bie with concern, looking nervous: "...Are you dizzy?"

Shen Bie rolled his eyes: "Not dizzy, not hot, no Chinese medicine! Isn't this the drink in your hand? Did you drug yourself?"

"No..." Shen Ci scratched his head in confusion, wondering if Zhen Da was just sharing the delicious juice?

"Excuse me, is this Shen Ci?"

A girl called him softly from behind. Shen Ci turned around and saw a strange girl with a rather ordinary look and simple makeup.

The girl stammered, "The tall and handsome man who was standing next to you just now fainted in the toilet! I heard him mumbling your name... so I hurried to find you! Come with me!"

Her voice was a little incoherent, cold sweat was coming out of the tip of her nose, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Shen Ci.

"..." Shen Ci was speechless. Did everyone think he was so stupid? They believed such a flawed statement.

I guess the girl wanted to say that it was Lu Xiao who fainted, so in order to avoid suspicion, she chose to be vague.

But who among the people present didn't know Lu Xiao? He was accompanied by his special assistant Min.

Furthermore, ever since Lu Xiao said he "liked him", he never called Shen Ci by his real name again.

It was not easy to get angry directly, so Shen Ci had to say tactfully: "Dear, I suggest you call the police directly."

"It's true!" Seeing that he was not fooled, the girl almost cried: "Go and have a look! Please..."

If she hadn't followed Yang Yan's instructions and led Shen Ci over in time, she would have been beaten up by the thugs hired by Yang Yan every day when school started...

"?" Shen Ci was puzzled. Her anxious expression didn't seem fake. Could it be that Lu Xiao was really beaten down by someone?

He had no choice but to call Shen Bie and Wei Shuo to go to the bathroom together to check.

After all, if Lu Xiao was really there and saw him going to the bathroom alone, he would probably punish him again.

…Although it felt pretty good when I punished him.

Shen Ci quickly threw away the dirty thoughts in his mind and focused on the important matters.

When the girl saw that they decided to go to the bathroom, she ran away as if she was afraid that they would ask her questions.

Shen Ci was now certain that there was definitely a problem.

There were not many people in the corridor leading to the restroom, and they could vaguely hear whispers coming from the men's room. The three of them looked at each other.

The three of them walked slowly towards the men's restroom with light steps. As soon as they saw the situation inside, Wei Shuo cursed in a low voice.

Lu Xiao was washing his hands with his eyes lowered. A petite girl with delicate makeup stood obediently beside him, looking up and saying something. She slowly walked towards Lu Xiao who didn't even raise his head.

Suddenly, the girl opened her arms to hug Lu Xiao: "Mr. Lu, I am willing to forgive you..."

Shen Ci: !!!

However, as soon as her palm touched Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao reacted very quickly and pushed her away. He frowned, showing disgust.

It didn't look like he had much strength in his hand, he just turned his wrist and gave a light push with the back of his hand, but the screaming girl was slammed against the wall, and her head hit with a dull "bang".

The girl quickly slid to the ground, knelt down and began to sob: "Uncle Xiao, you were so rough when you took my body, so I know I am just a tool for you to vent... No matter how painful it is, I dare not ask for too much."

"Although I'm not yet an adult, I will give birth to the baby... and then leave home and live far away with our child. I will never cause you any trouble..."

"I just want to say one thing to you. I really love you, wuwuwu..."

Shen Ci: ???

This, this, such a rich green tea aroma...
