Chapter 842 859: The Pretty Lady
Lin Mu was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Sophie to actually agree to his offhand remark. In the past, she might have responded with a roll of her eyes. Could it be that outside of Wancheng, the Wancheng Empress doesn't quite have the same temper?"Well, hurry up then! What's with the dawdling?" Seeing Lin Mu standing there stunned, Sophie urged him on.
"Haha, dear mistress, lie down comfortably, and let your humble servant serve you!"
Lin Mu grinned, pinching his voice to mimic Zhen Huan's Style of the eunuch's tone, then walked behind the sofa and placed his hand gently on Sophie's scented shoulder.
Lin Mu's massage technique was quite skilled, not inferior to professional masseurs, so Sophie couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
"Hmm, not bad, quite relaxing!" Sophie said with a face full of enjoyment.
"Hey, there's even more delightful stuff. To be honest, my massage skills aren't the most refined—it's my cultivation technique that's truly refined!" Lin Mu said as he continued massaging.
"Oh? What cultivation technique?" Sophie asked, puzzled.
"Haha, the bed cultivation technique, guaranteed to take any beauty to the point of dying and becoming an immortal!" Lin Mu finished and instinctively jumped back.
As expected, Sophie reached out and gave Lin Mu a playful punch, "Say it again, and I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Just joking, just joking!" Lin Mu chuckled, grinning, before resuming the massage for Sophie.
"Do you know why I brought you here this time?" Sophie said calmly while enjoying Lin Mu's massage.
"I don't know, wasn't it to help you discuss business?" Lin Mu asked.
"Talking business is correct, but more precisely, I brought you to attend a ball. But this ball is not just any typical one—it's extraordinarily special, one could say it has the highest commercial value. Let me put it this way: the ball gathers top business moguls from across the country." Sophie casually explained.
"Are there any valuable items to sell there?" Lin Mu asked bluntly.
Sophie glanced at Lin Mu, unsurprised, and shot him a look of disdain. "This ball is a jewelry exhibition. The world's twenty most luxurious pieces of jewelry will be showcased on Xiang Island. These pieces will all appear at the ball—each one priceless in its own right. Of course, their value isn't just commercial; they're unique on a global scale. Hence, opportunities are rare. Aside from business affairs, there's another important thing—I'd like to acquire one item. Just one would suffice!"
"Haha, that's easy. I'll just buy you one!" Lin Mu said confidently, feeling rather rich.
"Haha, some things cannot be bought with money; otherwise, why would I come in person? This exhibition is hosted by Xiang Island's jewelry magnate Zhou Runze. You've probably heard of Chow Tai Fook's 'four nines' jewelry, right? It's Boss Zhou's enterprise. I'm fortunate to be among his invitees, so I'm taking this chance to discuss Chow Tai Fook's situation for listing in Wancheng." Sophie chuckled.
"Oh? You mean Chow Tai Fook's jewelry, with a purity of 99.99%, is renowned worldwide! I imagine Boss Zhou has amassed a mountain of gold! So, according to you, this wealthy Boss Zhou might gift you a treasure for free?"
"How vulgar!" Sophie rolled her eyes at Lin Mu, "It's not certain yet; we'll see!"
"Darn, so mysterious, afraid I'll snatch your treasure, huh? You don't want to talk about it with me!" Lin Mu said helplessly.
"Hmm, you'll gradually figure out the rest. This time, I'm having you pose as my fiancé!" Sophie laughed.
"Fake what? I am your fiancé anyway, right?"
"No more bickering; I'm going to take a bath. Later, let's have a nice stroll outside; it's rare to have the chance to visit Xiang Island!" Sophie stood up and walked into the bathroom.
Sophie went to bathe, leaving Lin Mu sitting alone on the sofa, cigarette in mouth, pondering over the matter. A ball worthy of Sophie personally attending must be exceptionally high-class! Now, not only did Sophie want one of those twenty jewelry treasures, but even Lin Mu, a big man, started feeling a bit greedy!
Lin Mu comforted himself, "Haha, it's not greed; it's just that if I managed to get three, five, or even eight or ten of them in the Lin Family Mansion, handing out one each to my immortal sisters, wouldn't that be prestigious!"
Sophie finished bathing, stepping out with her hair wet and black, draping around her shoulders, wrapped in a bath towel. Her fair collarbone was perfectly displayed in front of Lin Mu. As Lin Mu watched Sophie walk out, he was momentarily stunned. Wow, seeing Sophie emerging like this was akin to a Furong from the water! To someone like Lin Mu, a masculine creature, she was utterly alluring!
"What are you staring at?" Sophie noticed Lin Mu's dumbfounded gaze and asked.
"So beautiful..."
"Hmph!" Sophie glared at Lin Mu, looking at him as if he were a lecher, then walked into the bedroom.
Soon, Sophie emerged in casual attire; guarded against wolves one must be!
"Let's go, go for a stroll outside, attend the ball tomorrow night!" Sophie said.
"Hey, why not go to a bar for some drinks?" Lin Mu stood and suggested.
"That's a good idea too, let's relax a bit!" Sophie didn't oppose.
In Wancheng, because of her prestigious status, Sophie actually never had the chance to relax with a drink at a bar. So, rare as it was to be out, in Xiang Island, no one knows this Wancheng business empress, so there's no inconvenience!
On Xiang Island, Sophie's queenly aura can quietly fade away, but the beauty's charm is unshakeable. Lin Mu felt like he was dreaming, being alone with such a stunning beauty without any external disturbances!
On Xiang Island, no one recognizes Sophie as Wancheng's business empress, while Lin Mu, a Guangdong region's giant figure, not only a commercial giant but also an underground giant. Giant paired with queen, naturally fitting!
Sophie incredibly experienced her own private life, which her attire easily revealed—usually, Lin Mu rarely saw Sophie in jeans, sneakers, and a low-cut shirt in a playful style.
So, at this moment, Sophie gave Lin Mu an entirely different feeling, more relatable to real life!
Lin Mu and Sophie came downstairs from the hotel, there right below was a bustling commercial street. Crowds weaving, lively, various street stalls selling snacks lined the street, distinctively Xiang Island.
At a stall on the commercial street, Lin Mu and Sophie enjoyed the local snacks while strolling casually. There were many bars—both legitimate and otherwise—and naturally, as Lin Mu was accompanied by Sophie, he certainly chose a legitimate bar, at least one suitable for both men and women!
"This one's good, Charming Lady Bar, there must be a lot of beauties inside!" Lin Mu grinned, pointing to the bar ahead on the street.
