Chapter 97: I Want to Stain His Clothes
Rika’s assistant casually glanced over, her gaze fixed on the strawberry mark on Su Lingzhi’s neck.
She smiled with meaning and reminded the makeup artist, "Put some powder on her neck as well, to cover the love mark."
Hearing her speak so bluntly, Su Lingzhi instinctively looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes passing through a hint of shyness and embarrassment.
Although it’s already public knowledge that she has a boyfriend, and such intimate contact between couples is nothing unusual, she still couldn’t quite handle such open teasing from others.
Time ticked by second by second.
The white, delicate face in the mirror, under the touch of makeup, appeared even more ethereal and graceful. The aura in her brows and eyes was exceptionally transcendent, with just one look, making one think of the word "beautiful."
The assistant admired her without blinking, then checked her from head to toe again. Once confirming there were no issues, she nodded satisfyingly, "The little princess is so charming and alluring that even I can’t help but want to kiss her."
She said this while selecting a suitable small bag, stuffing in a lipstick and a powder puff, and handed the bag to her, "It’s already dark outside, quickly go with your boyfriend to the evening party."
Su Lingzhi asked, "What’s the price tag on this dress?"
The assistant couldn’t help but laugh, "It’s rare for family members to charge each other, Madam has long told us, as long as we see you, clothes from any store of Lyrae are yours. You can wear whatever you want. Of course, if you’re willing to offer a tip, we would gladly accept it."
Upon hearing this, Su Lingzhi pondered for a while, then stepped over to Fu Yinli in high heels, seeking his help, "Lili, do you have any cash?"
Fu Yinli looked at the person who appeared before him, his gaze pausing slightly on her brows and eyes, then stood up from the sofa and handed his wallet directly to her.
Su Lingzhi took it, quickly kissed him on the cheek, then took out a few bills, giving them each, "For the tip."
The two of them spoke in unison, "Thank you, little princess."
"Then we’ll be off."
"Bye～"
After waving goodbye, Su Lingzhi returned the wallet to Fu Yinli, linked arms with him, and left Lyrae together.
As soon as they stepped out, Xiao Li appeared from somewhere, respectfully calling out, "President Fu, Miss Su."
Fu Yinli handed the car key to him and entered the backseat with Su Lingzhi.
The Rolls-Royce drove forward in the brilliantly lit night, merging onto the main road.
It was just about an hour’s drive to the destination.
It was the private club near her apartment.
Su Lingzhi, with her bag in hand, entered the lobby, holding onto Fu Yinli’s arm all the way.
The play of light and shadow fell beautifully on her body. Her dress, with its finely shimmering gradient petal shape, sparkled in the dark, rendering her posture elegant and noble, like a bright, untouchable star.
A few glances were instantly cast in her direction as they passed by, making them undeniably the focus of the crowd.
They were heading to the top floor, which had been reserved by some influential figure from the England circle.
It was surrounded by explosion-proof floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and crystal lights reflected the furnishings of the entire floor with brilliance. Priceless paintings hung on the walls, with some vintage collectibles displayed in the showcases.
Adorned by these objects, the air itself seemed to turn even more precious.
Su Lingzhi asked him, "What kind of party is this?"
"British Chamber of Commerce."
Upon hearing this, Su Lingzhi immediately understood the implication and remained silent.
Socializing and flattering words filled the air around them as Su Lingzhi followed Fu Yinli to their seat.
Finally, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and leaned close to his ear, quietly asking, "Do all you entrepreneurs have to contribute money at events like this?"
Fu Yinli chuckled at her straightforward question, "You could say that."
The scene of the two whispering to each other fell entirely into the eyes of Shao Yuwei in the corner.
Then, she saw Fu Yinli picking up a piece of dessert and offering it to Su Lingzhi’s mouth.
Su Lingzhi didn’t like to eat it, and what she left was taken by Fu Yinli without any disdain, stuffing it into his own mouth. The tender picture stung her eyes and provoked jealousy in her heart.
In the past, Fu Yinli wouldn’t look at anyone with such indulgent eyes; the word gentle didn’t suit him at all, nor did he eat things touched by others.
As the future successor of the Fu Family, of noble status, wealth and power were his only pursues, acts like pleasing women were things he shouldn’t have.
But...
She once hoped he could pamper her, be more intimate with her.
However, the moment she leaned into his arms, she was pushed away impatiently, and she thought it was because of his prideful distance that he couldn’t get close to others.
But now it seems, that’s not the case.
She truly couldn’t tell whether Fu Yinli was genuinely devoted to Su Lingzhi, or if he deliberately provoked her, hating her past betrayal.
Su Lingzhi was just a freshly graduated student, except for being young, she had nothing. In the Beijing Circle, she had no status, no position. What made her deserve Fu Yinli’s affection? She didn’t deserve it.
Yinli rightfully belonged to her, Shao Yuwei. If only Su Lingzhi remained blind forever...
At this moment, a waiter passed by Shao Yuwei.
Shao Yuwei took a glass of champagne from him, suddenly stopped him, and asked with a lingering, intentionally seductive British accent, "Can you do me a favor?"
Her voice instinctively lowered, "I want to stain a man’s clothes."
Having said that, she already put a tip into his pocket.
The waiter glanced in the direction she was looking, then politely returned the tip to her from his pocket.
"Sorry, I can’t do that."
Shao Yuwei’s expression changed, looking at him incredulously.
The waiter explained, "These are all our club’s VIPs. We can’t afford to offend any of them, but..."
He paused, then said, "Miss, if you’re looking for a chance to be alone with him, I can help you with that."
Shao Yuwei thought for a while and told him, "My surname is Shao, thank you."
"You’re welcome." Having said that, the waiter entered the tray towards where Fu Yinli was.
"Excuse me, sir." The waiter bent over, attracting the attention of the two of them.
Fu Yinli and Su Lingzhi both looked over at him.
"Sir, a lady would like to have a private chat with you, if it’s convenient?"
"Who?"
"Miss Shao."
With that, they both looked towards the direction he indicated, towards the woman in a turquoise and gold evening gown.
Upon seeing that alluring face, Su Lingzhi’s expression froze instantly, and an inexplicable feeling of animosity surged within her heart against her.
