Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Pecs Over 100 is the Best Dowry a Man Can Have Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Pecs Over 100 is the Best Dowry a Man Can Have “…Miss.”
Seeing Lu Sheng had somehow found her way to the study and heard what he had just said, Chen An couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
The things those people said online were so unpleasant. If the miss saw them, she would surely be very angry and heartbroken.
Just as Li Muchen rose to his feet, he directly placed Chen An’s cell phone into the pocket of his dress pants, as if he hadn’t seen any photos.
“How come you ran over here without wearing shoes?”
The tall man took long strides towards the young girl, his tone containing no blame. He bent down and scooped her up, still in her socks, and then instructed Chen An, “Go get a pair of slippers over here.”
“Yes.” Chen An immediately agreed and left the room.
But as Li Muchen was walking towards the couch with Lu Sheng in his arms, she directly reached into his pocket and pulled out the cell phone: “Let me see, what happened.”
The phone screen hadn’t been locked in time, and when she took it out, the display was still on the Weibo post by the gossip-mongers, with Lu Sheng’s photo of her and Osborne at the hotel front desk in plain view.
Someone had secretly taken pictures of her that night?
Lu Sheng’s gaze darkened.
Just as she was about to scroll through the comments, the man holding her withdrew the phone with a raise of his hand.
“Don’t look at those. I’ll handle it,” Li Muchen tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, “Still sleepy? If you are, lie down in my arms for a bit more sleep. I’ll hold you.”
Lu Sheng paused, looking at Li Muchen.
“…Aren’t you going to ask who this man is that registered at the hotel with me?”
The more power and authority one has, the stronger their possessiveness and need for control often become. She didn’t know if he would care.
“It’s not important, but he must be your friend,” Li Muchen thought for a moment, “Perhaps a friend from out of town, that’s why you were helping him with the hotel check-in at that time.”
A teenage girl, friends with an old man in his forties or fifties, does sound quite outrageous.
But Li Muchen’s tone was calm and assured, clearly never for a moment doubting that the young girl had any inappropriate relationship with another person.
“Mm, indeed he is my friend,” Lu Sheng said, “There was a problem with his hotel registration at that time, so I went over to help him sort it out.”
While speaking, she took the cell phone from Li Muchen’s hand again.
This time, Li Muchen didn’t stop her from scrolling through the comments under that Weibo post. Because from the girl’s calm tone, it was apparent that her heart was stronger than he had imagined.
“Do you need me to do anything for you?” Li Muchen asked from the side.
Li Muchen didn’t press Lu Sheng on who this friend really was. He respected the young girl’s independence, lifestyle, and social circle.
If she didn’t want him to intervene in this matter, then he would do nothing.
Lu Sheng read through all the highly liked comments cursing her, her expression becoming even more serene, and at the end, even carried a hint of mockery.
The fact that this secretly taken photo hadn’t been released a few days ago, but suddenly surfaced right after today’s piano competition announcement, and all those highly praised comments cursing her with a unified tone,
It isn’t hard to suspect that there’s a paid troll army behind it.
But Lu Sheng could not help but say, the person who instigated this to slander her from behind is really foolish.
It’s like digging a hole for oneself, just waiting to be buried.
“I don’t need that, I have my own judgement on this matter.”
Lu Sheng turned off her cell phone, “Moreover, those comments online don’t affect me. The words of those who have no discernment and dirty hearts, I don’t care about them at all.”
Seeing the girl so determined, Li Muchen’s gaze softened and he showed a hint of admiration.
He liked seeing her being clear-headed and skillful in handling everything.
He wanted her little girl to always be able to do what she wants without fear.
People become stronger through trials, and all he had to do was to stand behind her, providing support, only appearing when she needed him.
“Where is the piano in the house?” Lu Sheng asked, putting the Weibo matter aside.
“On the top floor,” Li Muchen looked up, “Do you want to play the piano? I’ll accompany you upstairs.”
“I promised someone to write a new piece for the piano competition the night after tomorrow,” Lu Sheng said, “The Lu Family doesn’t have any piano I can use, so I thought of coming over to your place.”
“…So you came for the piano,” Li Muchen’s lips curled slightly, as he gently caressed the girl’s earlobe with his fingertip, his tone low, “I thought you came because you missed me.”
Looking at the man who was strong and cold outside, now acting coquettishly in front of her, Lu Sheng felt a sudden softness in her heart.
“…Are you being silly?” Lu Sheng wrapped her arms around Li Muchen’s neck, “If it was just for the piano, would I have just thought of it now?”
The two always clung to each other, their scents intertwining. Lu Sheng had been infused with Li Muchen’s faint incense, enchantingly pleasant to her.
“Right… when are you going to the gym today? You promised I could watch and learn, don’t forget.”
The girl spoke earnestly while her actions were boldly outrageous.
While talking, she slipped her hand into the man’s dark grey shirt, tracing his well-defined abs upwards bit by bit, finally stopping at the best-feeling spot.
“Speaking of which, what’s your chest measurement,” Lu Sheng teased while pinching, her tone nonchalant, “Have you measured it, hmm?”
“…102.” Li Muchen’s voice was hoarse, his head instinctively tilted back, his sexy Adam’s apple protruding sharply.
Although the girl’s fingertips were cool, every inch of skin she touched quickly warmed, as if kindling a blaze upon him.
“Indeed, a 100+ chest muscle is the best dowry a man can have,” the girl smiled with a hooked corner of her mouth and leaned close to his ear, “…Hey, I really like it.”
Her warm breath sprayed on his ear, making even his scalp tingle. Li Muchen took a deep breath sharply, almost immediately lifting the girl off his lap.
“I… will go to the restroom.”
The man was obviously forcing calm, but the reactions of the body are often more honest than spoken words.
Watching Li Muchen hurriedly leave, unlike his usual composure, Lu Sheng’s lips curved slightly upwards.
Just as Li Muchen opened the door, he saw Chen An standing at the doorway with slippers in hand, hesitating for a long time not knowing whether to knock or continue waiting outside.
The soundproofing of the study was probably not very good; Chen An had clearly heard the conversation between the two and stood up somewhat embarrassedly looking at Li Muchen: “President Li…”
“… Take the slippers to her, and,” Li Muchen took a deep breath, “also have someone prepare afternoon tea, to be sent up to the top floor later. She will be hungry when she wakes up.”
“Understood, President Li,” Chen An immediately responded.
Watching Li Muchen turn and walk away, Chen An’s eyes showed sympathy for the first time.
There were still several months until the young miss’s eighteenth birthday.
And even after she came of age, the boss would probably continue to deliberately control himself. He would call it sweet torture… Truly very tormenting indeed.
