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.
