Chapter 492: Chapter 492 Mu Shaoci & Shen Lu 37

Envious murmurs sounded all around; having a private meeting with Mu Shaoci was such a rare opportunity.

Shen Lu felt she didn’t want this opportunity, as she was feeling guilty, after all.

She stiffly carried Mu Shaoci’s suitcase, her head lowered to avoid eye contact with the man, "President Mu, please follow me."

The two walked into the resort one after the other. Since she had never been here, she asked the staff for the location of the room service department.

Mu Shaoci scoffed lightly, "Why didn’t you find out before you came?"

Shen Lu, hearing the man’s sarcastic tone, really wanted to retort, but she held it back, "I’m very sorry, President Mu."

Mu Shaoci licked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, "Assistant Shen seems very accustomed to apologizing! It seems Xu Ming really buys into this. No matter how big the mistake, just an apology, and all sins are forgiven, right?"

Shen Lu bit her lip but said nothing. She carried the suitcase to the front desk to inquire about the room number.

Soon, she got Mu Shaoci’s room card.

Turning around and facing the man, "President Mu, I have your room card now. I will take you upstairs."

Mu Shaoci gave her a cold glance, following her into the elevator.

Only the two of them were inside the elevator car, and Shen Lu could feel a pair of eyes staring at her relentlessly.

She stared at her feet, not daring to lift her head.

As the elevator dinged, the doors barely opened when she quickly stepped out, suitcase in hand.

Arriving at room 606, she swiped the card, inserted it into the slot, and carried the suitcase inside.

Taking a deep breath, she turned to face the man’s gleaming shoes, "President Mu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving."

Mu Shaoci stepped forward, and Shen Lu instinctively stepped back.

"What? Are you afraid of me?"

Shen Lu frowned, "No."

"Then why can’t you look at me?" Mu Shaoci leaned down to meet her gaze, watching the silhouetted shadows cast by her long lashes.

That plain face would get lost in a crowd.

Mu Shaoci chuckled lightly, "You don’t think I’ve taken a fancy to you, do you?"

Shen Lu’s hands, hanging by her trouser seams, clenched, "Not at all. President Mu is handsome and dashing, and I am just an ordinary woman. I am well aware of that."

Mu Shaoci straightened up and walked past her towards the floor-to-ceiling window, lighting a cigarette and smoking in silence.

Just as Shen Lu was about to greet him and leave, she heard the man speaking.

"I once had a female assistant whose appearance was quite a surprise, called in because Assistant Su was having surgery. The reason she was selected was that she was the least attractive among all the secretaries."

Mu Shaoci said this with a laugh, turning to look at her, "That assistant was Shen Lu, her hair in thick bangs, her eyes behind black framed glasses, every clumsy word and action showing how foolish she was."

Hearing this, Shen Lu was infuriated.

Clumsy is clumsy, but to call her foolish – how much he must loathe her stupidity.

She dared, however, only to grumble about it in her heart.

Mu Shaoci continued, "Yet such a foolish woman was the one I took to heart. At first, I invited her to be my lover, and she agreed. Later, finding it unfair to her, I made her my girlfriend. But guess what this girlfriend of mine did?"

Shen Lu looked up to meet the man’s angry eyes, her lips pressed tightly, "President Mu, President Xu has other matters for me, I must leave now."

After a slight nod, she turned briskly towards the door.

It was said to be a walk, but more like a hasty escape.

She reached for the door handle, about to open it, when the man’s hand slammed down onto the door panel.

Shen Lu looked back in panic and saw the man’s brooding face.

Her body couldn’t stop trembling, "President Mu, you..."

Mu Shaoci bit his teeth hard, his hand pressing on the door with extra force, nails faintly turning white.

Shen Lu tilted her face upwards to look at him, "President Mu, I’m not your employee, and there is no need for you to discuss your personal matters with me. I don’t want to hear them either. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. My appearance and figure are very ordinary, but being alone in a room with a man, you may not care, but for me, it’s worrisome for rumor’s sake."

Mu Shaoci touched the tip of his tongue to his cheek, letting go of the door, and suddenly let out a laugh, "Assistant Shen, please."

Shen Lu heard the reprieve and rushed out the door, pressed the elevator button, and stepped inside.

Inside the hotel room, Mu Shaoci watched the door close and then punched the door panel, venting the anger he had suppressed for a long time.

After quite a while, he pulled out a diamond necklace from his trouser pocket.

Shen Lu left without taking anything with her.

At that time, he took out his anger on her because of the bidding base price, but then he thought, how could she be a corporate spy if she didn’t even want a necklace worth five hundred million?

Most importantly, she didn’t have the brains for it.

Mu Shaoci spent countless nights angry at her, and just as many nights missing her like crazy.

He searched the entire Hua Country for her; she seemed to have disappeared until their encounter on the bar’s terrace.

Although her appearance and voice had changed, the figure and that vibe were the same, he felt it was Shen Lu.

As for when he was certain?

The fool was getting an IV in the calm room, feverish and delirious, not even aware when her ear’s skin started peeling.

She thought she was being extremely careful, but she still couldn’t escape his obsession with her.

He decided not to speak first; he wanted her to admit it on her own.

This time, she would find it hard to fly away.

Downstairs, Shen Lu left the building, and coworkers were distributing room cards in the lobby.

Bai Yao handed Shen Lu her room card, blinking, "Why did it take you so long? What did President Mu say to you? Did he take a fancy to you?"

Shen Lu tapped her forehead, "Please look at this face of mine, there’s nothing attractive about it. If you can’t fancy me, how could President Mu? He’s not blind."

Bai Yao laughed, "Don’t belittle yourself! Alright, let’s put our luggage back in the room and go out for a walk."

Shen Lu wasn’t in the mood for fun, but since she was already there, hiding in her room didn’t feel right either; it was better to join everyone else.

But things didn’t go as she wished; just as she finished putting away her luggage, her phone started vibrating.

It was a call from Xu Ming; as soon as she answered, she was told to quickly come down to the entrance.

Shen Lu went downstairs with her waist bag.

Upon reaching the entrance, she saw a sightseeing car parked at the bottom of the steps, with a driver, Mu Shaoci, Xu Ming, and Su Chen sitting on it.

The odd thing was, Xu Ming and Su Chen were sitting together.

The only remaining seat was beside Mu Shaoci.

Xu Ming said, "What are you waiting for? Get on."

Shen Lu gritted her teeth, feeling that there was something off with these people.

Of course, she didn’t think that Mu Shaoci had discovered her identity, since her face and voice were completely different from before.

She just thought that Mu Shaoci was trying to find a shadow of her in her, and Xu Ming and Su Chen were nothing but pimps!

This place wasn’t good to stay for long; she planned to hand in her resignation tomorrow.
