Chapter 1072 - Doting on Her
Wiping away the blood on his hands, he lifted his eyes to look at her. “If I hadn’t come in time, they would have forced themselves on you. You’re still thinking of pleading for them?”
He had a poker face on, not even a brow moved as he pinned her with an unwavering gaze. She had almost been taken advantage of by other men and he exuded a baleful aura.
She was his bottom line.
Lin Xuanji knew that if she were to phrase it wrongly, he would definitely flare up. She was afraid that he would be angry.
“If you end up killing him, you’ll have to go to jail. What would happen to... me?”
Lu Jinwen raised his brows upon hearing that. His baleful aura instantly dissipated and his gaze turned gentle. Taking out a gift from his pocket, he helped her to put it on her neck. “This is for you.”
Lin Xuanji lowered her eyes to see, it was a red string with a longevity lock on it. Once she moved, the bell on the lock would ring and make a tinkling sound.
She had heard from other people that men would always give women presents when they dated, but he had given her a longevity lock?
“Why did you give me a longevity lock?” she asked.
“You don’t like it? I’ll give you some other type of jewelry next time then.” He stretched out his hand, ruffling her hair.
His moves tugged at Lin Xuanji’s heartstrings. She hadn’t said that she didn’t like it at all.
“Let’s go.” He stretched out an arm, holding her svelte waist.
“Wait a minute, my friends are still waiting for me at the bar counter. I came out tonight to have a gathering with them.”
Lu Jinwen smiled. “Go ahead with your gathering, I’ll wait for you.”
With that said, Lu Jinwen took Lin Xuanji away from the bloody scene and had his secretary, Ye Shu handle the two young masters.
...
Lin Xuanji returned to the bar counter. She wore a red lacy dress and her longevity lock was showing. The exquisite workmanship had attracted the eyes of all her friends.
“Wow, Xuanji, this longevity lock is so pretty. Who gave it to you?” Huo Yanmei asked.
Lin Xuanji blushed. “It was from Mr Lu.”
Her friends were all filled with envy. Huo Yanmei winked playfully as she lowered her voice and said, “Xuanji, Mr Lu is doting on you just like you’re his daughter by giving you this longevity lock.”
What?
Doting on her like she was his daughter?
Lin Xuanji’s face instantly became even redder. “Yanmei, don’t just say things as you wish.”
She lowered her head to take a sip of the cocktail.
Before she could even drink it, the manager of the bar came. “Hello, beauties. A mister has just ordered the Reka Moscow Cocktail for all of you. May I serve it now?”
Almost 20 waiters came over, serving the Reka Moscow Cocktail to them.
“Oh my god, Reka Moscow, this is the most expensive cocktail in the world. I heard that one cup costs around 50 thousand US dollars. This isn’t just wine, it’s liquid cash that we’re going to drink,” one of Lin Xuanji’s friends exclaimed.
“Xuanji, look, it’s Mr Lu!”
Lin Xuanji looked sideways, Lu Jinwen was seated on a wine red sofa in the secluded VIP room. He had removed his blazer, leaving only a white shirt and vest on. He had a silver breastpin on his vest that was gleaming.
Secretary Ye brought him some documents and he slumped against the sofa, crossing his long legs while the files were placed on his lap. His attention was focused on the documents.
historical
They could see his side profile from their seats, he really was just like a work of art, completely flawless.
“Miss Lin, Mr Lu ordered the Reka Moscow for all of you. He hopes that you can have a good time with your friends tonight.”
Lin Xuanji’s friends all started pulling their faces, winking playfully at her once they heard those words. “Xuanji, Mr Lu treats you really well.”
“Exactly, this is our first time seeing a man who dotes on his fiancée so much.”...
They all started taking not so discreet glances at Lu Jinwen. The lights in the bar shone over his distinct facial features. He exuded a strong aura and was just like the most exclusive French red wine in a connoisseur’s private collection, elusive and luxurious. His mature charms were just irresistible to girls their age.
Her friends all blushed upon seeing him.
Lin Xuanji felt as though she had a piece of candy in her mouth, she felt so sweet. He hadn’t left, but rather, was sitting in the room waiting for her.
She could tell that he was extremely busy, he still had to look through the documents after coming to look for her first thing after he came back from overseas.
He brought back a gift from the States for her and even gave her ample freedom. This man was really attractive.
Lin Xuanji took a sip of the Reka Moscow, there were delicious hints, some milky and some fruity accents inside. It was really delicious.
There was suddenly a commotion in the bar. The most popular segment of the night had come, it was time for the pole dance performance.
“Dear guests, we hope that you have had a great time in our bar tonight. In order to commemorate our 30th anniversary tonight, we are going to invite the top hostess in house, Mimi, to put up a pole dance performance tonight. After the performance, Mimi will pick one lucky gentleman tonight and perform for only him. What do you say?” the emcee sounded vibrant and full of energy.
“Alright!”
The atmosphere was buzzing as the guests all started whistling, all wishing that they would be picked by Mimi.
For a woman to perform pole dance in front of only one man, it would definitely be sensual and passionate.
“Okay, let’s invite Mimi out now!”
The speakers blasted loud music and Mimi appeared on the stage.
Mimi was a beauty, she had a tiny face and was doe-eyed. Wearing a cropped black t-shirt and denim shorts underneath, she really was deserving of her position as the top hostess.
Mimi started dancing around the pole.
“Mimi, here, here!”
“Mimi, pick me, pick me!”...
The men were all excited, trying all they could to get Mimi’s attention.
As Mimi scanned her eyes around the bar from the stage, her gaze eventually landed on the VIP room, and on Lu Jinwen.
“Xuanji, bad news! I think Mimi is going to choose Mr Lu!”
Lin Xuanji looked sideways. Lu Jinwen was still looking through his documents in the VIP room. He hadn’t lifted his head and had no idea that Mimi was looking at him.
Even in such a noisy and raucous bar, he remained so calm and collected, he really was one of a kind.
Lin Xuanji was reminded of her two previous encounters with him. First was him kissing her without her permission and the second was at the coming of age ceremony, he pushed her against the wall and... touched her, saying all of those kinky things.
She had almost been fooled by his stolid image. He was a bad boy behind that entire facade.
Mimi couldn’t stop looking at Lu Jinwen. Noticing that the man hadn’t lifted his head even once, she suddenly appeared really shy.
But it was a shame, she had feelings for him but it wasn’t the same in his case.
“Xuanji, I remember you also learned pole dancing. Why don’t you go on stage and challenge Mimi?”
“I think it’s a good idea, Xuanji. Someone is trying to snatch your Mr Lu, aren’t you supposed to hurry and assert dominance?”
Lin Xuanji’s friends all started encouraging her.
After taking a few sips of the Reka Moscow, Lin Xuanji’s face was flushed pink. What was the big deal about going to dance anyway?
Getting up from her seat, Lin Xuanji rolled her sleeves up and walked over.
