Chapter 1165: 1166 He Didn't Ask

1166 He Didn’t Ask

A numbing sensation spread from the place where his kiss landed.

Shen Li could not help but shrink back a little as she spoke in a soft voice.

“Second brother…”

She would always call him that whenever she was submissive. Her voice was soft and husky, as if it was wrapped in honey.

Yet, he still fell for it.

She only had to act coquettishly for a moment, and he would not be able to hold her accountable for any of her mistakes or sins.

Since she still had to be seen in public later, he did not use too much force to leave a mark on her face. Instead, he pulled her in and kissed her ear for a while.

Shen Li could not help but push him away.

He nibbled on her ear and asked with a smile, “President Shen, you’ve seen my sincerity. What about you?”

Shen Li knew that she was in the wrong, but she still tried her best to defend herself, “Aren’t I here now?”

In the afternoon, he had deliberately taken her to pick out his outfit and he also put on the pair of sapphire cufflinks. His intentions were clear.

That was why she had come and chosen this dress and this pair of earrings.

Lu Huaiyu’s chest trembled as he seemed to laugh. Then, he finally let go of her and took a few steps back.

“Shen Tangtang, you’re such a schemer.”

His sincerity and hers were simply not on the same level.

She was so bold and unreasonable.

Shen Li merely looked at him. There was a faint redness in the corners of her eyes, which were particularly dark and lustrous.

They were even more resplendent than the starlight.

More intoxicating than wine.

His rough fingers pressed down on her soft lips.

“I didn’t touch this.”

He rubbed his fingers against her white and tender earlobe.

“There’s no mark on this either.”

He had already sufficiently restrained himself.

He had left this part of the sentence unsaid, but Shen Li understood.

She said, “Oh.”

After a moment of confrontation, Lu Huaiyu was the first to lose.

He cupped her face.

“Little ancestor, could you at least let me know in advance the next time you’re planning something?”

Shen Li blinked, and then her peach blossom-shaped eyes turned into crescents.

Lu Huaiyu looked into her eyes for a few seconds before he tilted his head slightly and looked away.

His Adam’s apple moved up and down, and his voice was slightly husky as he spoke.

“Is the alcohol content of the wine that’s being served tonight quite high?”

Shen Li did not reply.

With Lu Huaiyu’s understanding of wine, it was impossible for him not to be able to tell whether the wine he drank was low in alcohol.

Moreover, she had seen his alcohol tolerance.

She had never seen him drunk before.

Lu Huaiyu calmed the restlessness in his body before taking hold of her hand and walking out.

Shen Li looked at their joined hands.

He did not ask anything else.

…

During the second half of the celebration party, the atmosphere became more and more lively, probably because everyone had started drinking and chatting.

Lu Huaiyu pretty much stayed with Shen Li the whole time.

Everyone gradually understood that this man was not here to attend the celebration party, but to accompany his girlfriend.

As the banquet was about to end, Zhao Xuan came to Shen Li’s side and asked in a low voice, “President Shen, do you need me to send you home later?”

Lu Huaiyu put down the wine glass in his hand.

“I’ll send her home later.”

Zhao Xuan was momentarily stunned before he subconsciously turned to look at Shen Li.

Shen Li nodded, “I’ll leave you to settle things on this end. Don’t worry about the rest.”

“Alright.”

Not long after, the couple left.

Some of the guests wanted to chat with them for a while longer, but seeing that they were about to leave, they did not dare to detain them.

As soon as she stepped out of the hotel, a cool breeze blew.

Lu Huaiyu took off his coat and draped it over her.

The black Bentley was already parked in front of the door. The doorman opened the door respectfully.

Shen Li and Lu Huaiyu got into the back seat.

“Let’s go back to Skyleaf City,”

Lu Huaiyu tugged at his tie as he spoke in a low voice.

“Alright, Second Master.”

Yi Bin responded and the car slowly drove away.

…

The Capital was still bustling at night.

Lu Huaiyu looked at Shen Li and asked in a low voice, “Are you cold?”

Shen Li was still wearing his coat, which made her look quite petite, with only her head exposed.

She shook her head.

Only then did Lu Huaiyu roll down the window.

Although he was not drunk, he had drunk a lot tonight and was afraid that the smell of alcohol on his body would overwhelm her.

Suddenly, a soft hand slid over and held his hand.

They were already very close to each other, and she was wearing his jacket that was a few sizes too big for her. The two of them quietly held hands in this way beneath his jacket.

Lu Huaiyu immediately turned his hand to clasp the palm of her hand.

After that, he felt her fingers gently scratching his palm.

He looked at her, his Phoenix-like eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of warning.

He had watched her closely the entire night and she had not touched a single drop of wine. There was no reason for her to be drunk.

Shen Li coughed.

He wanted sincerity and she had given it to him, yet, this was his reaction.

He was truly very hard to please.

Seeing her expression, how could Lu Huaiyu not know what she was thinking? He almost let loose a bitter laugh.

She was getting more and more skilled at fighting back.

Moreover, was she really not afraid? Was she that sure that he would not do anything to her?

“Are you not tired?”

She said honestly, “Just a little.”

“Then rest first, I’ll wake you when we arrive.”

“…Oh.”

Shen Li leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes.

The wind blew in through the window, and her fine hair fluttered, tickling her slightly.

She opened her eyes again.

The light outside the window was brilliant, and the scenery on the street quickly passed by.

Her eyes were clear and calm.

A moment later, she suddenly said, “When did Second Brother find out?”

As soon as she said this, the car seemed to become even quieter.

Yi Bin drove the car and looked ahead with extreme concentration. He did not even dare to look in the rearview mirror.

He had only found out today that the President of Shengguang Media was Shen Li!

This secret had been too well-hidden!

Because of the recent popularity of “Chasing the Light”, Shengguang Media had once again become the focus of everyone’s attention.

Inside and outside the industry, many people were envious and all of them had inquired about the secret boss of Shengguang Media.

Who would have thought that… it was her?!

Lu Huaiyu did not seem to be surprised by her question. He thought for a while before replying, “To be precise, it was just a hunch that I had before. I only really found out tonight.”

Shen Li turned her head.

This was a very cunning answer.

Lu Huaiyu looked at her for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Is this answer important?”

Shen Li could not answer.

Lu Huaiyu was too smart. After being with her for so long, it was impossible for him not to notice anything.

Moreover, he had the means to find out anything.

And…

Actually, that was not what she really wanted to ask.

After a long while, she lowered her eyes.

“… I did not deliberately hide it from Second Brother…”

She really had not wanted him to know about this.

This was because the existence of Shengguang Media and all the arrangements she had made from beginning to end had been targeted towards something too specifically.

She did not believe that Lu Huaiyu could not tell.

If she had to explain everything clearly, including her hostility towards Yu Cheng and Yu Yu, the box office sales of “Hibiscus” and “Chasing the Light”, and the fact that she had deliberately given up “Fantasy God Chronicles” to Yu Media and snatched away “Chasing the Light” from them, she would have to explain everything.

These things involved too many things from her past life.

She simply could not justify herself.

The car fell into silence.

After a while, Lu Huaiyu suddenly smiled and said, “Well, don’t I know now?”
