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.
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.”
