Vase cannon fodder is pampered by the group again

Chapter 69.2

Editor: Princess

Through the light black car window, as soon as Shen Ci came out from the apartment building, Lu Xiao noticed him.

Shen Ci had a little hair tuft sticking out from his baseball cap. He was wearing a loose, oversized white T-shirt and carried a backpack like a good student.

With short pants, short socks, and canvas shoes, he revealed his beautiful pink kneecaps and slender, fair, straight legs.

Even though he wore sunglasses and a mask, he still attracted frequent glances from passersby. Many girls even took out their phones to take pictures.

After all, such clean-looking boys were quite rare. Some even recognized him at first glance but considerately didn’t come to disturb him.

Pure, transparent, innocent.

Lu Xiao watched from afar as people’s gazes gathered. He suddenly felt that Shen Ci was like a flawless piece of jade, freely attracting the world’s amazed gazes while being too fragile to withstand overly rough treatment.

But those prying, greedy gazes should not exist.

The light inside the car was excessively dim. Lu Xiao’s deep eyes were hidden in the darkness, flashing with cold light like obsidian.

Once upon a time, Shen Ci wanted to stand under the spotlight, wanted the annoying Bai Ziwei to disappear, and even wanted to have a romance with Shao Jinhuan… As long as Shen Ci liked it, Lu Xiao would give his all to help make it happen, even deliberately ignoring his own feelings.

But now it was different. Shen Ci belonged to him.

Shen Ci trusted him without reservation, acted spoiled and threw tantrums relying on his favor, childishly declared his sovereignty, and on certain nights, lay in his arms with red eyes, fearfully yet expectantly wrapping his arms around his neck where his veins bulged.

The pathological, twisted desires hidden in the deepest recesses gradually rose. The tip of Lu Xiao’s tongue traced across his dry, thin lips like a snake’s fork slowly, his gaze becoming increasingly dark.

His baby also liked him very much, so he could hide his baby away, right?

It was okay, right…

“Little Uncle!” Shen Ci smiled while opening the car door, taking off his sunglasses. His exquisite deer eyes curved into little crescents.

Lu Xiao’s pupils suddenly contracted. And as if suddenly awakening, he looked at Shen Ci.

The dark dust that had just risen met Shen Ci’s eyes that were filled with stars like a sunken lake at that instant and immediately settled cold to the bottom.

“What’s wrong? Your complexion looks a bit off.” Shen Ci sat in and poked Lu Xiao’s arm.

Lu Xiao’s mouth curved slightly upward while avoiding his gaze: “It’s nothing.”

After becoming sober, Lu Xiao felt vaguely afraid in his heart. Just now he had been like someone possessed.

If he really broke Shen Ci’s wings and kept him as a canary in a cage, he would never see his smile again.

Compared to possessing Shen Ci forever, he was even more unwilling to see him sad.

Shen Ci didn’t think much about it. He smiled while hugging Lu Xiao’s arm and humming, in a cheerful mood.

Lu Xiao looked down at him with gentle eyes, gently tousling Shen Ci’s hair that had grown long for acting, hooking it with his fingertip before casually discarding the original hair tie.

“It’s already grown to my chin. It’s so hot in the middle of summer…”

Shen Ci pulled his mask down halfway to cover his lips, letting Lu Xiao play with his hair while leaning against him lazily.

Lu Xiao pulled down the hair tie from his right wrist. His slender fingers threaded through the soft hair strands to comb them, not very skillfully gathering up the semi-long hair and tying it into a new little topknot.

“Little Uncle is really amazing.” Shen Ci quickly pulled down his mask to give Lu Xiao a kiss on the chin, then hurriedly pulled it back up.

Eating sunflower seeds until his mouth swelled… how embarrassing.

Lu Xiao smiled gently, his fingertips stroking the hair tie he had bound himself slowly, his eyes gradually deepening.

This wasn’t bad either. It counted as claiming Shen Ci.

Tonight’s banquet would be held at the Victor Hotel, which had G City’s largest banquet hall.

Many luxury cars and supercars had parked successively in the underground parking garage. After getting out of their cars, celebrities who happened to meet acquaintances stopped to chat for a while first.

A black Bentley with smooth, curved lines drove in, passing by several wealthy ladies who were chatting while walking. It found its designated parking spot and slowly stopped, the headlights going out.

“Oh my, that parking spot is reserved for Yunxiao, right? President Lu has arrived.”

“Will he bring our cub? Too bad I didn’t bring a camera. I can only use my phone to take pictures…”

“It’s too dangerous for our cub to go out alone. With Mr. Lu here, we can rest assured.”

“Sigh, I’m waiting to attend their wedding banquet… Why aren’t they getting married yet?”

“…”

Several close female friends happened to be Shen Ci’s mother fans. They all looked at the black car with bright, sparkling eyes, very expectant.

The wealthy lady at the back had no interest in joining the discussion. She was accompanied by a beautiful young woman, who looked graceful and elegant.

Both were dressed particularly luxuriously with charming, exquisite makeup, carrying the latest platinum bags while squinting to assess the Bentley that had just stopped.

“Xiao Yan, look whose car that is. Is it the man you always dream about?” The wealthy lady smiled while whispering to her daughter.

The young woman lowered her head shyly, her slender jade fingers tucking stray hair behind her ear: “Mom, what are you talking about…”

The wealthy lady’s red lips curved: “Why be shy? You’re not clamoring to become Mrs. Lu now?”

A trace of greed flashed in the young woman’s eyes as she half-pushed and half-yielded: “But President Lu already said he wanted to pursue Young Master Shen. Looking at their deep relationship, how could he possibly notice me…”

The wealthy lady raised her delicate chin contemptuously: “So what if their relationship is deep? Your dad’s ex-wife was from a prestigious family and was childhood sweethearts with your dad. They were said to have over twenty years of deep feelings, and back then the two were even talked about as a perfect marriage match.”

She immediately snorted with laughter, triumphant: “But after your dad met the young and beautiful me, didn’t that old woman get chased away dejectedly? Good men need to be fought for.”

“Men all think with their lower halves. Weren’t you the campus beauty at school? No matter how good-looking Shen Ci is, he’s still a man in the end. How can he compare to a girl’s gentleness and softness? He can’t even have children!”

The young woman became increasingly moved as she listened, her gaze toward Lu Xiao’s car immediately becoming fervent.

Her mother was right. Moreover, Shen Ci was still an idol in the entertainment industry, the most despised plaything in high society. Even as an outsider, she felt ashamed to mention him.

At least she had several companies under her control. Shen Ci only knew how to waste money. How could he compare to her virtuousness?

While they were talking, Lu Xiao and Shen Ci had already gotten out of the car. Their arms seemed to be linked together, making the young woman’s eyes burn with jealousy.

“Baby, if you like him, mom will definitely help you!” The wealthy lady kept egging her daughter on, her calculations rattling loudly in her mind.

Lu Xiao was handsome, clean-living, and had a vast family fortune. Who wouldn’t be moved by such a husband?

The Lu family members were all dead, and Lu Xiao had also eliminated all the collateral relatives. Once her daughter gave birth to a Lu family child, Yunxiao’s vast family fortune would naturally belong to them.

Moreover… even if her daughter proved incompetent after marrying in, it would be convenient for her to seduce Lu Xiao and rise to power herself.

The young woman was indeed persuaded and nodded shyly.

The wealthy ladies walking ahead suddenly stopped.
