Chapter 469: Chapter 469 Mu Shaoci & Shen Lu 14

When the auction ended, Mu Shaoci had become the person who had donated the most to charity at the event.

He actually hadn’t bid on many items, besides the Hundred Flowers Scroll, he later bought a diamond necklace and a vase.

These three items alone totaled one billion, and the reason they cost so much was all thanks to Fu Shiyan’s price boosting.

Mu Shaoci knew that Fu Shiyan was getting back at him, because previously Mu Corporation and Fu Corporation had cooperated on a project. When Fu Shiyan sent his nephew, Fu Chenyu, to sign the contract, Shaoci undercut by one percentage point, causing Fu Corporation to lose tens of billions.

Of course, his heavy spending tonight was also intentional.

Mu Shaoci knew that Fu Shiyan was holding in his frustration, and if he didn’t let it out, Fu Shiyan would continue to trip him up in various cooperations and occasions.

This spending pleased Fu Shiyan, and they would remain good partners in future collaborations.

Fu Shiyan stood up and politely extended his hand, "President Mu, congratulations. The special children will also thank you for your contributions."

Mu Shaoci also stood up and shook the man’s hand, "President Fu, I hope our next cooperation is just as delightful."

Fu Shiyan smiled contentedly, "I’m looking forward to it." After saying that, he turned to Shen Lu, "Miss Shen, don’t try to save money for President Mu in the future, after all, spending for the one you love, President Mu is buying happiness."

Shen Lu wanted to explain something, just to see Fu Shiyan stepping away.

At the same time, the host invited Mu Shaoci and her to come up to the stage to speak.

Shen Lu nervously looked at Mu Shaoci, "I’d rather not go up."

"Do you want your salary docked?" Mu Shaoci took her hand and walked on the stage, as she forced a smile.

By the time Mu Shaoci had finished speaking, her face was almost stiff from smiling.

She swore, she would never attend such an event again.

The host stopped them, "There’s a dance party next, could you two do the opening dance?"

Shen Lu controlled her expression, she whispered, "I don’t know how to dance."

Mu Shaoci hummed, then looked at the host, "No problem."

Shen Lu: "..."

Mu Shaoci wrapped his arm around her waist and walked toward the spacious area.

As the melodious music started, Mu Shaoci held her hand and also wrapped his other arm around her waist, "Just follow my lead, don’t rush, take it slow."

Shen Lu had never danced a ballroom dance, occasionally she would step on Mu Shaoci’s feet.

"I’m sorry, sorry..." she apologized.

Mu Shaoci took a deep breath and stopped moving.

Just when Shen Lu thought he was going to scold her, the man took her hand and wrapped it around his neck, then he encircled her slender waist.

"You’re too clumsy, you’re only suitable for this kind of dance."

Shen Lu looked up at the man and blinked, she had never imagined being this close to Mu Shaoci.

She thought, just let herself be a princess for one night.

After all, when the song ended, everything would go back to reality.

Shen Lu gently leaned on the man’s chest, following his steps.

Mu Shaoci wrapped his arms around the woman’s waist, his face was calm, but his heart was already creating waves.

When the song ended, their steps halted.

Shen Lu knew it was time for the dream to end, she straightened up, stepping out of the man’s embrace.

She looked up and smiled, "President Mu, I did pretty well tonight, didn’t I?"

Mu Shaoci hummed lightly, "Not bad, you get a bonus of ten thousand tonight."

Shen Lu’s eyes curved into a smile, "Thank you, President Mu."

Their interaction looked suspicious to others.

Zhou Jiaqi watched them leave arm in arm, her heart filling with even more jealousy.

She couldn’t understand why Mu Shaoci wasn’t interested in her, a socialite and heiress, but instead had eyes for a worthless assistant.

She was genuinely annoyed.

She thought that the items Mu Shaoci had bid on tonight were also gifts for Shen Lu.

Shen Lu must have cast some spell on Mu Shaoci; otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen for her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Everyone in their circle knew she liked Mu Shaoci, and now he would rather choose an insignificant assistant over her, which was a direct slap to her face.

She couldn’t swallow this pride. That Chen Kai was useless too, his scheme hadn’t fooled Mu Shaoci.

Her eyes darted around as another brilliant idea came to her mind.

In the car.

Mu Shaoci and Shen Lu were seated in the backseat, waiting for Su Chen to proceed backstage to pay for the auctioned items he had won tonight.

Soon, Su Chen returned to the driver’s seat, turned around, and handed a bag to Mu Shaoci, "The painting and vase will be delivered to the company by the organizers tomorrow. I’ve retrieved the necklace already."

Mu Shaoci lightly hummed in acknowledgment and took it.

Su Chen started the car, "Drop Assistant Shen off at home?"

"Hmm."

Su Chen turned the steering wheel and raised the partition.

Mu Shaoci removed a black velvet square box from the paper bag and placed it on Shen Lu’s lap, "Since you like it, it’s yours now."

Shen Lu looked at him in surprise. "For me? President Mu, do you know what you’re saying?"

Mu Shaoci frowned, "Of course I know. Isn’t it what you liked that made me bid for it?"

"President Mu, this necklace is worth five hundred and thirty-seven million. I can’t accept it. It’s too valuable. I don’t deserve such rewards without merit," she said, placing the box on the empty seat between them.

Mu Shaoci picked up the box, opened it, and took out the necklace, his tone commanding, "Come here."

Shen Lu stared at him dumbfoundedly. Mu Shaoci sighed softly and moved closer.

Shen Lu refused again, "President Mu, it’s too valuable. I cannot accept it..."

The cold touch landed on her neck, leaving Shen Lu somewhat perplexed.

Mu Shaoci’s fingertips touched the clear diamond pendant, shimmering and translucent.

His fingertips moved from the pendant to her collarbone. Her smooth skin quivered under his lingering touch.

"Very beautiful," he said in a deep, mellow voice.

Shen Lu nodded, "The necklace is beautiful."

"I was talking about you," Mu Shaoci said, caressing her chin. "May I kiss you?"

Shen Lu looked incredulous. "What did you say?"

Mu Shaoci watched her trembling eyelashes, his thin lips approaching as he spoke barely touching her delicate red lips, "I want to kiss you."

As his words fell, he captivated her lips.

Mu Shaoci’s kissing was initially unpolished, yet men generally have an innate knack in this respect and he quickly figured it out.

He lifted Shen Lu onto his lap, transitioning from light pecks to deeper kisses.

Earlier, when turning a corner, their lips had unintentionally met.

Mu Shaoci had since been compelled by the thought; he had longed to kiss her.

Now, with her in his arms, he couldn’t help but entertain even darker thoughts.

His hand lifted her dress, slowly moving up her smooth, fair calves, his fingertips flirting with the thin fabric.

Shen Lu was kissed senseless until a pang of pain brought her back, and she pushed at him, "Don’t..."

Mu Shaoci withdrew his hand and held her tightly. "Your first time? Hmm?"
