Chapter 475: Chapter 475 Mu Shaoci & Shen Lu 20

Shen Lu was too slow to dodge, and coffee splashed all over her face.

She looked especially disheveled.

Zhou Jiaqi snorted and tore up the check in front of her into tiny pieces, "Ungrateful wretch! Stop pretending to be so high and mighty!"

Shen Lu chuckled lightly, took out a tissue from her bag, and wiped the stains off her face, "Miss Zhou, do you realize how ugly you look right now? If you have the guts, go and make things clear with President Mu. But I guess you don’t have the courage, otherwise why would you be going back and forth with me like this. First, you’re afraid it will backfire, President Mu doesn’t care about these things at all, it’s just three million. Furthermore, you’re afraid he’ll grow even more disgusted with you."

Zhou Jiaqi, her thoughts exposed, became very angry and raised her right hand to slap Shen Lu’s face.

But the slap never landed; Shen Lu grabbed her wrist tightly, "Miss Zhou, has anyone ever told you how ugly you look when you’re jealous? Stop using this to threaten me. I have nothing to lose and I’m not afraid of anyone. If you push me too far, Miss Zhou, I won’t hesitate to burn bridges, and President Mu will definitely not like a woman with such strong jealousy."

She flung Zhou Jiaqi’s hand away fiercely, "By the way, I don’t harbour any hopes of becoming Mrs. Mu. I have self-awareness, unlike some people."

Shen Lu didn’t look back as she left, and Zhou Jiaqi’s hatred towards her deepened.

"Damn bitch!"

Shen Lu got into her car, and started tidying up her disheveled appearance in the mirror.

She leaned back in her seat and exhaled a long sigh.

She called her best friend Jiang Ying, and told her about the events of the recent days.

Jiang Ying exploded immediately, "Xiaolu, you’ve done it now! With such a big incident, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I have six hundred thousand here, if you need it urgently, take it."

"Although there’s no future with Mu Shaoci, I don’t want him to look down on my parents. I will find a way to redeem that necklace because when I break up with Mu Shaoci, I will return it to him."

"Why are you so foolish? Screw that! He slept with you for nothing!"

It took a long while before Shen Lu could reply with a single sentence, "I truly like him."

Jiang Ying sighed, "Forget it, it’s too draining to talk to a love-struck fool. The most pressing issue now is to redeem the necklace."

"Even with the money you’re lending me, I’m still two million short."

Jiang Ying thought for a moment, "You’re good at cooking, why not start an account and become a food blogger? Social media is thriving nowadays, and some bloggers earn tens of thousands from just one short video."

"But I’m an executive assistant at the company, I’m afraid that being so public will affect the company’s image."

Jiang Ying got so frustrated she wanted to curse her, "Just answer me one thing, do you want to redeem that necklace quickly or not?"

"Yes."

"Then listen to me, I’ll help you with setting up the account. You just focus on preparing the ingredients and recording the videos."

Shen Lu thought it over. If she took up this endeavor and Mu Shaoci asked about it, she would say it was just a hobby.

If she took on other part-time jobs, she wouldn’t have the time or energy.

Jiang Ying’s suggestion seemed to be the best choice.

From that day on, Shen Lu started to get busy.

She spent every day recording videos, and Jiang Ying handled the editing, subtitles, introductions, and post-production.

The two of them divided the work and collaborated, and by the time they produced the twenty-fifth video, Shen Lu became popular.

Mu Shaoci also found out, after all, Shen Lu’s current job was to cook for him. He didn’t object to her making some videos.

He looked at the dish in front of him, resting his forehead on his hand, and asked, "Lulu, I’ve already eaten four meals today, can you please record your videos tomorrow?"

Yes, in order to make progress.

Sometimes Shen Lu would shoot five videos in one day, sometimes three or four.

All those meals went into Mu Shaoci’s stomach.

Mu Shaoci was quite cooperative at first, but he couldn’t bear having to eat so many days in a row.

Shen Lu had just positioned the camera and other devices such as her phone at the right angles when she heard the man’s complaint.

Thinking about it, it seemed like she had been neglecting Mu Shaoci these past few days, so she quickly went to his side, "Shaoci."

The man extended his arm and hugged her onto his lap, "Why are you working so hard? Didn’t I give you a supplementary card? You can spend however you like."

Shen Lu looked into the man’s attractive eyes, "Shaoci, I don’t want to be branded with the label of a lover. I am capable of earning money and I don’t want to be a Canary."

Mu Shaoci pinched her cheek, "Alright, do whatever you want to do."

Shen Lu smiled and kissed his lips, "Thank you, Shaoci."

"Lulu, I feel like your thanks to me are a bit perfunctory. Lately, it’s all verbal gratitude. I want some practical action."

Shen Lu naturally understood the man’s meaning; these days, she had been busy shooting videos and researching, inevitably neglecting Mu Shaoci.

She changed her position, straddling his lap, fingers hooking the buttons of his shirt, one by one undoing them.

She cupped the man’s handsome face with both hands and kissed him slightly tilted.

Desire was evident in Mu Shaoci’s eyes, but he made no move, just waiting for the woman to take the initiative.

Shen Lu’s eyes were sultry, and she complained a bit, "Why is it always me doing the moving, make a move, will you?"

Mu Shaoci smirked, "Are you sure you want me to move?"

Shen Lu held onto the man’s shoulders, huffing, "Then I’m off to shoot the video, I’m not playing with you."

How could Mu Shaoci possibly let her leave, his hands grasping her slender waist, "Remember, you said it yourself, no regrets!"

He carried her by her hips into the bedroom and pushed her against the wall, "Tell me what’s really been happening lately?"

Shen Lu hadn’t expected him to ask about this at such a time.

Shen Lu lied, not daring to look into the man’s eyes, "I just want to have my own career."

Mu Shaoci pressed against her, teasingly, "Keep making it up."

Shen Lu’s eyes reddened, "I’m not making it up."

Her voice was very small.

Mu Shaoci took out a diamond necklace from his pocket, dangling it in front of her, "Baby, does this look familiar?"

A flash of panic appeared in Shen Lu’s eyes, and her breathing hastened.

"I..."

Mu Shaoci laughed softly, tossed the necklace on the floor, and gave her buttocks a hard smack, "Let’s deal with you first. Take this time to think about how you’re going to explain yourself so I won’t get angry."

Mu Shaoci threw her onto the bed, Shen Lu bounced a few times on the mattress before the man pressed down on her.

Clothes were shed, and the room filled with intimacy.

Afterwards, Mu Shaoci leaned against the headboard, lighting up a cigarette, sweat rolling down his chiseled jawline. He took a couple of deep drags, cheeks hollowed out, and looked exceptionally sexy.

After blowing out a few smoke rings, he glanced at the woman with her back to him, lying on her side.

"Why didn’t you tell me when things went wrong? Hm?"

Shen Lu slowly turned around, "I was afraid you didn’t want me anymore. After all, I have no idea how long your freshness period for women lasts."

Mu Shaoci thought for a moment and replied, "You are my first woman, so I don’t know for sure how long that freshness period is, but Shen Lu, I don’t like it when my woman hides things from me."
