Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 56 "Keeping a Mistress in a Golden House"

"Hey! We can go underground, without letting Brother Shen know, how exciting would that be!" Du Lin threw a few flirty glances at him.

Nan Wu's face twitched.

The things he said were a disservice to his refined appearance.

"You really are..."

"Shh...it's Brother Shen!" Du Lin pointed at the phone screen, immediately cowering.

Nan Wu's brow twitched twice, and she subconsciously held her breath. Even though Xiao Shen was on the other end of the phone, she couldn't see or touch him, but she still felt as if he were standing in front of them, staring straight at them with a chilling gaze.

"Brother Shen, what? You're coming over?" Du Lin glanced at Nan Wu with a worried look.

"Oh... what are you saying? It's convenient, of course it's convenient!"

"Where are you? I'd like to personally greet you. What? You've gone upstairs?"

Holy crap! The fire has reached the city gates!
Nanwu panicked and didn't know which way to go; running away was one thing, but staying wasn't either.

"Mr. Du, do you want to die?"

Du Lin was embarrassed. "What kind of question is that?"

"Don't tell Fourth Master I'm here if you don't want to die, or we'll both be laughing!"

Sensing the heavy, powerful footsteps approaching, Nan Wu stopped hesitating and bent down to crawl under the desk on the inside.

"No, if you hide, won't our relationship become even more complicated? You..."

"Shh!" Nan Wu clasped her hands together and pleaded earnestly.

The next second, the door was knocked open.

Du Lin reacted quickly, and in the instant he turned around, he had already composed himself. "Wow, did the sun rise in the west today? Brother Shen's presence is an honor to our humble abode!"

Xiao Shen kept walking, as if he had arrived at his home turf. He leaned back on the sofa in an arrogant and leisurely posture, took the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth, and exhaled a smoke ring that blurred his outline.

"Just passing by. I heard your shop got vandalized, so I thought I'd come and see what the show was like!"

Du Lin clutched his chest dramatically, looking hurt. "My dear Shen-ge, you really know how to stab me in the heart! Can't we have even a little bit of brotherly affection for each other?"

Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow slightly. "Do we have any brotherly feelings for each other?"

puff!
Du Lin coughed up a mouthful of blood that seemed to travel a thousand miles.

"Now I'm very interested to know who's so bold as to wreck my Boss Du's place. Tell me." Xiao Shen tapped his cigarette butt against the crystal ashtray and raised his chin at him.

Du Lin's expression froze for a few seconds before he said in a relaxed tone, "You mean this? Oh! She's just an ill-mannered rich girl who's incredibly arrogant because her family has a lot of money. It's okay, I've already called the police. She has to compensate me for every penny of the loss!"

"Which family's young lady? What's her name?" Xiao Shen's lazy tone seemed to conceal a sharp blade.

Du Lin pretended to think, "Oh! I really didn't notice that; my subordinates handled it all!"

"Why is Brother Shen suddenly interested in this?"

Xiao Shen pressed his fingertips against his temples, while the fingertips holding the cigarette lightly tapped his knees, exuding a masculine sexiness.

"I'm just a enthusiast, having some fun!"

Nan Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.

My gaze fell upon the two wine glasses in front of me, with traces of dark liquid still clinging to their sides. If I looked closely, I could also see a faint red lip print on the rim of one of the glasses.

The man smiled.

"have a guest?"

Du Lin suddenly realized that in his haste, he had forgotten to collect the cups. Xiao Shen was such a shrewd person.

"Oh, a friend just came over!"

"Male and female?"

Under the other's burning gaze, Du Lin felt as if a hole was about to be pierced through his body. His skills were utterly insignificant compared to Xiao Shen's.

Hidden under the desk, Nan Wu's heart pounded faster and faster. She clutched the hem of her clothes, bit her lip, and was in a state of tension.

Could it be that Xiao Shen... has discovered something?

"Hey, Brother Shen, we're just friends, don't make wild guesses!" Du Lin tried his best to call out and get over there.

Xiao Shen smiled enigmatically, "You little rascal, don't tell me you're hiding a mistress in a golden cage!"

boom!
Nan Wu's vision went black.

Oh shit!

What does he mean? Did he really find out?

No way, he's only human, he can't be that powerful. She's clearly hiding it very well!

Du Lin was so nervous that a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, which he couldn't wipe away. "This crappy place of mine won't do. You know me. If we're going to have fun, we have to go to a fun place, otherwise we won't get the feeling!"

"That seems to be true!" Xiao Shen bent down and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, then stood up and dusted off the ash that had fallen on his shirt.

Today, he wore a dark gray shirt and black trousers, which made him look calm, composed, and self-assured.

Of course, this is only his daily, public side. As for how much of a hypocrite and scoundrel he is in private, Nan Wu is the most qualified to speak on that.

Sooner or later, she will expose this man's true colors to the world.

Seeing this, Du Lin became excited, "Brother Shen, are you leaving? Won't you stay a little longer?"

Xiao Shen glared at him, "Which eye of yours saw me leaving?"

what?
He strode towards the desk, and Du Lin was terrified.

"Brother Shen, what's wrong with you...?"

"What, you won't let me sit?"

"Excuse me, please, Brother Shen, have a seat. It would be my honor!" Du Lin said, but his words were not what they seemed. He even made a "please" gesture.

The man leaned his strong hips against the edge of the table, one leg bent and draped over the other.

He has long legs, and with just a slight movement, his trouser legs will rise a bit. His black leather shoes are polished to a shine, without a single crease.

Just ten centimeters from these shoes was a smooth, fair hand.

With her other hand tightly covering her mouth, afraid of making a sound, Nan Wu's heart was pounding like a drum, and her back was soaked with sweat.

Her position was hardly concealed; if she made even the slightest noise, Xiao Shen would notice her if he bent down even slightly.

"Your desk is quite nice, very generous!" Xiao Shen filled one of the empty wine glasses and slowly played with it in his palm.

Du Lin had no idea what he was up to, and for now, he could only take it one step at a time and help as much as he could. "If Brother Shen likes it, I'll have a worker make one for you another day. It's no big deal!"

"Alright! Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Xiao Shen raised his glass to him from a distance, tilted his head back, and drank the wine.

Yes, it's that wine glass with the red lips printed on it.

Boom!
The next second, the cup shattered on the floor.

The shards that splashed up left several bloody marks on the back of Nan Wu's hand. She shuddered and almost cried out.

"Why don't you get out of here?"

Du Lin lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose, indicating that there was nothing he could do!

Nan Wu closed her eyes, feeling like she wanted to die.

As expected, she couldn't escape the discerning eyes of this wild man.

Nan Wu gritted her teeth, braced herself against the floor, and slowly crawled out. "Hi! Fourth Master, what a coincidence! Are you here for a visit too?"

Having been huddled under the table for too long, her legs were so numb she almost lost her balance. Xiao Shen reached out and grabbed her by the collar, pulling her close. He gritted his teeth and said, "What a coincidence. But, Miss Nan, who are you playing hide-and-seek with while hiding under the table?"
