Chapter 28: Dally Awww~ Isn't he cute~ At one point, Lu Xi looked like this in the chapter. ?An hour later, on the 23rd storey of the Tianfeng shopping centre, at a menswear flags.h.i.+p store.
Su Jin was looking at the man who was just leaving the changing room and couldn't help but be secretly astounded. Obviously, there were some people that were naturally born to wear clothes and while this was only a very common, simple, white dress s.h.i.+rt, he was able to carry it off with a flair of n.o.bile genteelity.
"What do you think?" Lu Xi looked at his image reflected in the mirror, then turning his head, looked at the girl beside him.
"Isn't that what I should be asking you?" Su Jin raised both hands, palm side facing him. Gently, she skewed her head as she smiled saying "My debtor master."
Her phoenix eyes were translucent, and those black irises clearly reflected his appearance.
"That's right." Lu Xi's lips curved up, and his hand reached out to ruffle her hair. Smiling he added, "then we'll take this piece then, wrap it up."
The attendant who had been serving them this whole time, with glistening eyes, she hurriedly took the s.h.i.+rt from Lu Xi's hands.
Under the lights hung a pink coloured, short sleeve men's s.h.i.+rt.
It was not the commonly seen dusty pink or fuschia colour, and there was no other embellishment on it; it was just a basic pink colour.
Lu Xi raised his brows and directed a look at the girl while scratching his chin, his eyes revealing a querying intent.
Su Jin understanding his query, curved her lips and nodded.
The pink men's s.h.i.+rt had always been popular and it was not something merely trendy for a short stint. Moreover, be it in her past life or this one, she could not honestly say that she had rarely seen any man wearing a pink s.h.i.+rt;, it was a common sight. Still, she felt that every example she had seen so far was not to her taste.
However, after seeing Lu Xi's face at this moment, she had suddenly wanted to see how he would look in that s.h.i.+rt.
"Hey —!" Lu Xi looked down at his black dress pants, then gestured at the attendant to bring down the s.h.i.+rt for him. He then went on to meander around the shop and finally returned with a light blue pair of ankle jeans, that were almost moon white, and a pair of white sneakers.
When he once again exited the changing room, Su jin could clearly hear the collective gasp of everyone in the shop.
For a man who was normally seen in dress s.h.i.+rts and pants, it was rare to see him in such carefree roguish attire.
The top two b.u.t.tons of the pink s.h.i.+rt were left undone, and the neckline was rakishly left open, revealing a small patch of a white st.u.r.dy chest. The hem of the s.h.i.+rt was tucked into the pants, and the streamlined jeans seemed to hug his physique, accentuating his slim waist. The pencil cut highlighted his long slender legs and ending just above his ankle, exposing another patch of white skin.
His eyes curved up slightly, those peach blossomed eyes carrying a hint of levity and a soft smile.
The problem was when those eyes were paired with a white dress s.h.i.+rt, they bore a gentle and kind hue much like jade. Yet, when paired with today's pink s.h.i.+rt, there was a confidence that was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with charm.
However, that person seemed to be oblivious to it all.
Su Jin was staring blankly as that person drew nearer, her heart unable to signal to her face to plaster on an annoyed look, so she slightly cast down her gaze.
"Jin'er."
A pair of long thighs grew larger before her and then in the next second, Su Jin's chin was being lifted up.
This was the typical gesture of a young master dallying with a daughter from a respectable family.
A slightly startled pair of phoenix eyes looked directly into those peach blossomed eyes.
"Have you gone silly from staring? We're still waiting for you to foot the bill." Lu Xi's thin lips curved slightly, and while speaking in a soft and low tone, he removed the finger that had brought this girl's chin up to lightly tap on her nose.
"My esteemed benefactress."
Esteemed benefactress? Su Jin was stunned but recovered quickly to quirk her brows.
So he had heard it before too?
When she was about to swipe her card to make the payment a while ago, the shop staff were heard discussing the situation amongst themselves.
"Wow, to think that it was the girl that paid for those purchases?"
"Pfft, and it was bought for THAT man."
"So does that mean… that guy is a kept toy boy?"
"My word, he's so handsome. If I had the means, I would keep him as my toy boy too."
It was then that the strange discussion paused for a few seconds, and when the conversation resumed, it was in unanimous agreement with the one who had last spoken.
The annoyance that she was feeling earlier surprisingly vanished. Su Jin's eyes curved.
"What if I don't want to make the payment anymore?"
"Is that so….." Lu Xi straightened his posture, and then with a crestfallen expression sighed softly, "ok then, just forget it then."
The 1.8m tall man with his slightly droopy head, and his clearly handsome side profile looking dejected, was very much like a dog wagging his tail beseechingly.
Su Jin had to bite down on her lips to resist the urge to burst out laughing.
After much effort to control her emotions, she was about to speak when a voice was heard from the opposite end of the counter.
"Forget it? How can you just forget it! If she doesn't pay, then let me pay!"
Su Jin and Lu Xi exchanged a look before lifting their heads to look across.
What they saw was a slightly over 1.7m young…man.
Wearing a Cartier V-neck tee s.h.i.+rt, casual Gucci pants, and Bvlgari leather shoes.
Oh, and even his leather belt was from this year's Gucci spring new catalogue.
His whole outfit was styled from international brands' menswear collections. He seemed to be emanating an aura of 'I'm a nouveau riche'.
His appearance was pa.s.sable, except for the heavy bags beneath his eyes…. A sign of excessive overindulgence.
"So would you be Miss Su's latest beau?" He approached as if he was someone familiar, reaching out his hand towards Lu Xi, "Come, let me introduce myself, I am Zhao Wenze."
It was not certain if he had done it intentionally or not, but as his hand stretched out, the face of his manual mechanical watch lit up.
Zhao Wenze?
Su Jin frowned as her mind spun around before her memory dredged up some details about this person.
Zhao Wenze. He was the biological brother of the Zhao family's heir, Zhao Wenhua. Possibly because there was already an heir and so the fear of a possible power struggle, this Zhao family youngest son had been spoiled and pampered since he was young. Furthermore, as he grew older, he became a Casanova, living the wild and party lifestyle.
The Zhao family business was in entertainment. According to most people, within the Zhou Entertainment company, everyone from the big shots to the newbie artiste, be it male or female, would all have some dealings with this Zhao family youngest son.
Zhao Wenze's only redeeming quality was that he had a rather nice personality, and even though he would change female companions with more diligence than his own attire, each one of them who had shared his bed, went into it willingly.
It was definitely an understatement to say this young master was an idiot. Otherwise, how could someone who knew half the people in the entertainment circle not recognise this famous acclaimed director, despite Lu Xi's rather low profile.
Pfft, just thinking about this, Su Jin lifted her head to look at the well-defined man by her side, only to lament silently and shook her head.
Both were young masters, why then was the disparity so great?
However, this person…. Did he fancy Lu Xi?
Meanwhile, Zhao Wenze still had his hand outstretched, his eyes fixated on Lu Xi's peach blossom eyes. Then he proceeded to praise, "This outfit really suits you."
Lu Xi was somewhat dumbfounded.
So… does this mean that a man had taken a fancy to him?
Noticing that after a period of time he had neither spoken nor put forth his hand, Zhao Wenze's demeanor turned unsightly. Awkwardly, he retracted his hand and stuffed them into his pocket, and frowning he said, "You've already called Su Jin your benefactress, so then what are you hem-and-hawing about? Since she said that she would not buy you the outfit, then I will buy it for you, how's that?" As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue to lick his lips, "follow me, whatever you want, I will get them for you."
Before Lu Xi could even gather his wits about him, Su Jin raised her brows and rejoined, "Zhao Wenze, I'm still right here."
Having heard Su Jin speak, Zhao Wenze tilted his head to look towards Su Jin.
The girl had on a three-quarter sleeve white chiffon blouse and a dark pleated short skirt. Her blouse, all b.u.t.toned right up to her neck with a dark blue ribbon tied into a b.u.t.terfly knot, had a school uniform feel to it. Those phoenix eyes were slightly uplifted, and the beautiful, vivid, naturally distinctive and accentuated features, flawless and charming, all culminated into a particular attraction.
A moment of desire flashed through Zhao Wenze's eyes, and then he shook his head slightly.
Well, this certainly was not a person he could afford to offend. What's to say…. She could potentially be his future sister-in-law.
Lu Xi frowned and his eyes deepened.
"Miss Su, it is only just a mere lover." Still holding that thought, he jeered at Su Jin saying, "how about this, you let me have this person, and I'll promise not to tell that fiance of yours, Mr Lu, about you having a lover."
"Zhao Wenze, you…."
Su Jin did not manage to complete her sentences before Lu Xi interrupted her.
"You mentioned earlier…" Lu Xi seemed to have completed contemplating and added, "whatever I want, you will give it to me?"
The timbre of his voice was both low and elegant, like listening to a cello concerto.
Zhao Wenze's eyes lit up. Earlier when Lu Xi was talking, it was faint and barely audible, however, to hear him speak up now, suddenly he realised that this man had a mesmerizing voice. If it was spoken in bed…
"Yup, whatever it is that you wish for, I will be able to give it to you." He nodded emphatically with his beaming eyes closed..
Su Jin looked at the man beside her, and was rather suspicious.
Then, she saw Lu Xi's lips hooked up in a sneer, before using the mesmerising voice from Zhao Wenze's fantasy, "What I want…."
Not only were Zhao Wenze and Su Jin captivated, the shop a.s.sistants were also leaning towards him.
Lu Xi's eyelashes lowered, concealing the coldness that flashed across his eyes as he continued, "……Su Jin."
I want to have Su Jin.
Zhao Wenze was flabbergasted, "WHAT? What did you just say you wanted?"
"I want Su Jin." Lu Xi lifted his eye lashes, then he reached out to tidy the b.u.t.terfly knot ribbon on her collar as he gave his blase reply.
Su Jin lowered her head slightly, she had already gotten used to this person's brazen impudence. But to profess his intentions before all these people, her cheeks began to blush. However, a smiling expression briefly flashed past her eyes.
Zhao Wenze noticed the mutual tacit understanding between the two of them and a wave of anger rosed up, "You and Su jin are a …"
Lu Xi swiftly jerked his head and retracted the earlier smiling expression. The smiling intent in those peach blossomed eyes turned glacial.
The word 's.l.u.t' had somehow got stuck in his throat. Zhao Wenze suddenly coughed a couple of times and violently shuddered.
He managed to recover his rationality and frowned. After a short silence, he finally found his voice to probe, "who are you?"
"Me?" Lu Xi raised his brows, with a faint smirk on his lips.
"I am Lu Xi."
