Lin Xi was wearing a sky-blue off-shoulder gown today, revealing snow-white shoulders and arms as delicate as lotus roots.
A crystal pendant hung on her flawless neck, and the size of the gown fitted her tight figure perfectly as if tailor-made for her, flaunting a breathtakingly dramatic S-curve. The skirt was very long, trailing all the way to the floor.
Her hair was piled high on top of her head, with two small and exquisite ears adorned by sapphire earrings, her makeup light, yet she was stunningly beautiful.
This was the first time Su Chen had seen Lin Xi in a gown, and he was immediately astonished.
You see, Lin Xi usually dressed in business attire or very conservative pajamas; although she still looked good, it was nothing compared to how deliberately she had dressed up now. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Despite having seen countless top beauties, Su Chen found that Lin Xi now made them all pale in comparison.
"Hey, have you stared enough?" Lin Xi's cheeks reddened slightly under Su Chen's gaze.
"No, how could I have had enough..." Su Chen couldn't help but swallow.
"Then wait until we get home to continue looking. Now hurry down and drive!" Lin Xi's queenly aura came forth.
Su Chen quickly got out of the passenger seat and personally helped his gorgeous CEO wife into the car before sitting in the driver's seat himself. With Lin Xi dressed , she indeed was not suited for driving.
After closing the car door, Su Chen's body slowly leaned closer towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi suddenly became nervous.
Could it be that he found her too attractive and was harboring malicious thoughts?
Lin Xi, Lin Xi, it's just a networking event, did you really need to dress up so beautifully?
Now in the car, there was no place to hide.
Su Chen's body was about to press against Lin Xi.
Oh well, even if I don't like him, he's still my husband.
Lin Xi decided to accept it. If Su Chen wanted to take advantage of her, then let him do so for a bit. After all, her family took 10 billion from him and she couldn't repay it now...
Her beautiful eyes finally closed gently.
With a soft sound, then came Su Chen's somewhat strange voice.
"Wife, it's just fastening the seatbelt, do you need to be that nervous?"
By the time Lin Xi opened her eyes, Su Chen had already returned to his own seat.
Lin Xi felt her face burning with embarrassment.
So Su Chen was just helping her with the seatbelt.
Of course, Su Chen had seen Lin Xi's reaction, and it was clear she had accepted it.
Had he kissed Lin Xi just now, she would have certainly not resisted.
But Su Chen was a man of principles.
He knew Lin Xi didn't actually like him.
Especially the phrase, "You may exercise your rights, but I don't guarantee I'll cooperate," which he still vividly remembered.
Even if he did want something to happen with Lin Xi, it would only be after Lin Xi had fallen in love with him.
Su Chen turned on the ignition, ready to drive.
"Wait a second!" Lin Xi stopped him.
"Can you even drive?" Lin Xi frowned and asked, having forgotten to inquire if this man even knew how to drive.
"What do you think?" said Su Chen, as he suddenly stepped fiercely on the gas pedal.
With a roar of the engine, the Maserati surged forward.
An hour later, the Maserati slowly pulled up at a villa's entrance.
This villa, covering about three thousand square meters, with artificial mountains, pavilions, towers, fountains, lotus ponds, and quadrangle courtyards...
A completely antique charm.
Just think about it, even in a location closer to the suburbs, having three thousand square meters is a pretty terrifying figure.
This isn't just a villa, it's completely a mansion.
A conservative estimate, its value should be over one hundred million!
Even the West County Villa where Lin Xi lives pales in comparison.
You need to know, the West County Villa cost Lin Xi just over ten million to purchase.
Seeing the villa, Lin Xi was also stunned; she certainly knew the value of this villa.
And the entire villa's pure Chinese-style decoration, layout, and environment are countless times better than that of West County Villa.
Such a villa, Lin Xi had seen before, and she liked it very much, but it was too expensive.
One hundred million, even she could not bring herself to such extravagance.
Unexpectedly, He Tianqi had just returned to the country and actually bought such a big mansion.
Having been in the steel and concrete of the city for too long, Lin Xi felt her whole body relax and took a deep breath.
The fragrance of the earth was so intoxicating.
"This is the villa of that He Tianlu?" Seeing Lin Xi with a face full of intoxication, Su Chen had a somewhat skeptical expression.
Lin Xi gave Su Chen an annoyed look, ignorance is really scary.
What He Tianlu? The man's name is He Tianqi, okay!
Most Chinese characters can indeed be read partially, but you can't read all characters like that, can you?
And why didn't you read it as He Tianqi?
At least the pronunciation is similar.
Su Chen heard this and disdainfully curled his lips.
Lin Xi felt it was necessary to give Su Chen a heads-up, and spoke with a serious face: "His name is He Tianqi, not He Tianlu. Don't call it wrong later, actually, it's better if you just don't talk!"
Right upon entering the mansion, He Tianqi was already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing Lin Xi, He Tianqi immediately greeted her with a beaming smile.
Especially today, seeing Lin Xi wearing a remarkably beautiful gown, he was even more stunned.
Beautiful, truly too beautiful.
It seemed that his choice this time was wise.
The desire in He Tianqi's heart to win over Lin Xi became even stronger.
Not to mention Lin Xi's status, just her appearance alone was enough to drive any man crazy.
He Tianqi subconsciously wanted to greet Lin Xi with a Western-style hug.
Although somewhat resentful towards He Tianqi, Lin Xi had studied abroad, and hugging was the most basic of Western etiquettes. Moreover, she had a favor to ask of He Tianqi, so she decided to hug him.
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly blocked her path.
And then, two big men ended up hugging each other.
When He Tianqi realized he wasn't hugging his goddess Lin Xi but the body of a big man, he quickly let go of Su Chen and said with a disgusted face, "You, who the hell are you?"
"Um, ah, yah," Su Chen made a series of strange noises.
"Oh, this is my friend, Su Chen. He knows a bit about design. Hearing that a world-class master designer is involved this time, he insisted I bring him over to see."
Lin Xi quickly explained, while also giving Su Chen a fierce glare.
Su Chen had an aggrieved look on his face, it was you who told me not to talk.
"Oh? A master in design as well? May I ask where did the gentleman study design?" He Tianqi glanced at Su Chen, noticing that Su Chen was about the same age as him, so he made a backhanded compliment.
