Pampered by the Billionaire

Chapter 745: Chapter 501: How Powerful Is Her Man?_1

Nanxi came out of the Magazine Agency and immediately noticed the black Land Rover sports car, a bit surprised, when did he pull up to the doorstep?

Nanxi quickly ran over and got into the car without uttering a single word, not even having time to express her fond longing, she reminded him straight away, "Don’t speak, just drive! Drive!"

Seeing her like this, Lu Yinchu chuckled, "What are you afraid of? We’ll be getting married soon, sooner or later everyone will know! Do you think I’m some kind of embarrassment for your husband to be?

"That’s not what I meant..." Nanxi clenched her teeth, "...Just drive!" noveldrama

The laughter in Lu Yinchu’s eyes deepened, he ruffled her hair with a fond gesture which left an odd warmth in Nanxi’s heart, "Alright, let’s go!"

...

At the cafe in front of the entrance of the Magazine Agency, Lin Pinzhi along with two other group leaders, came out at a leisurely pace.

On spotting Nanxi, who was no farther away, hurriedly running out of the Magazine Agency towards a Land Rover sports car which felt familiar to him. He could not see inside the car. She got into the car, and within a span of a few seconds, the car started and drove out of sight.

Lin Pinzhi’s steps halted as his brows slightly knitted, the two group leaders beside him noticed his changed demeanor and turned to look at him, "What’s wrong? Chief Lin?"

Lin Pinzhi shook his head, "Nothing." With that said, he followed after them.

...

Lu Yinchu took Nanxi to Yipin Residence for dinner, the tastefully furnished private dining room had different flowers this time.

Nanxi did not overthink it, presuming each private dining room held its own unique characteristics. However, what caught her curiosity was the oversized pot of sunflowers in their private dining room.

Lu Yinchu waved his slender fingers in front of her eyes, "I’ve already ordered a few dishes, take a look if you want to add something."

Nanxi scanned through the menu, everything was to her taste, there was no need to add anything else.

She shook her head, "That’s enough, we already ordered too much. We won’t be able to finish all the dishes."

Lu Yinchu laughed, "We can have the leftovers packed for tomorrow morning’s breakfast!" After speaking, Lu Yinchu handed the menu to the waiter, smilingly looking at her.

Nanxi pursed her lips, take away? A billionaire CEO bothering about doggy bags? You must be joking!

"Lu Yinchu, I have a question for you!" Nanxi looked at him.

The man nodded, his eyes held the usual profound depth and allure as he waited for her question.

Nanxi caught her breath, calmed herself and asked, "Do you know about Ni Xuexue being taken away by the police?"

"Hmm," the man responded in an indifferent tone, "I heard."

..."I heard?" Has he got nothing more to say? As if he has nothing to do with it!

"Lu Yinchu, Ni Xuexue’s case... does it have nothing to do with you?"

"Why would it have anything to do with me!"

Nanxi gritted her teeth, "Don’t deny it, Ni Xuexue fell from heaven to hell within two days, who else could make her so miserable? And about the scandal this morning, don’t tell me the man in those pictures isn’t you!"

"Yes, it was me!"

"So, the ’mysterious figure’ the newspaper mentions helping Ni Xuexue to climb the ladder is you too, isn’t it?"

"Yes, but also no!"

..."What does that even mean?" Nanxi frowned in confusion, not understanding what he meant by "Yes, but also no."

"Nanxi, what I mean to say is that I could possibly be the ’mysterious man’ the newspaper is referring to, but I didn’t assist Ni Xuexue in seizing the position."

Nanxi was taken aback, "What do you mean by you are the ’mysterious man’ but you did not help Ni Xuexue to get the position? That’s illogical!"

Lu Yinchu calmly replied, "What is illogical about it? The RLOW’s product launch event in H city was of paramount importance for the RLOW brand’s promotion in the second half of the year. The initial date was decided, but once I heard about the time for the signing of the cooperation agreement with the KING Group in Shanghai, they once tried to negotiate with the relevant departments of the KING Group as they wanted to avoid competing for the headline news with KING. However, when the negotiation failed, they had no choice but to also unilaterally decide to postpone the product launch event’s date! All of this, I only knew about, but had no part or say in it!"

"As for Ni Xuexue, she was originally one of the models for this RLOW product release. She did not get the position because of me. However, she was injured previously, and because I knew in advance that RLOW would delay the product launch, I just let her believe that I was helping her from behind the scenes. This misunderstanding had nothing to do with me."

"At last, Ni Xuexue’s scheme caused Du Xing to fall off the T-platform and get injured, which was her personal behavior, and I did not instigate that. Her final appearance as the protagonist of RLOW’s brand launch, if I’m not mistaken, she probably used those photos of me with her to pull a few tricks. Nonetheless, that last video, indeed, was leaked by someone I arranged... Apart from that, I didn’t participate in the whole incident at all..."

With a smile, Lu Yinchu asked, "So, do you reckon Ni Xuexue’s incident has nothing to do with me?"

..."Nanxi sat across him, speechless for a long time due to shock.

Indeed, if everything happened as Lu Yinchu said, this incident doesn’t really have anything to do with him.

He merely saw through the twisted nature of humanity and effectively manipulated it, everything was merely Ni Xuexue bringing it upon herself!

That’s all there is to it!

But how could a man as sharp as him not realise Ni Xuexue had secretly taken those photos?

And how could he not guess the possible intent behind Ni Xuexue taking those photos?

He indeed did nothing, but this incident had thousands of connections to him!

Seeing Nanxi sitting across him in silence, Lu Yinchu stretched out his hand to ruffle her hair, and sighing, he said, "I know what you’re thinking, silly girl, even if I had gotten rid of those photos initially, Ni Xuexue wouldn’t have given up on sabotaging Du Xing. Du Xing was the predetermined main model of the show; If she gets in any trouble, it creates an opportunity for all the other models to step in. Ni Xuexue was hell-bent on making it to the top. Being 27, she’s considered of considerable age in the modeling world. Over the past three years, the frequent interactions she had with Han Qing gave her enough connections to warrant a desperate risk at the RLOW product launch!"

Nanxi bit her lip, "But there’s also a possibility...that she might not act on it! If she didn’t have those photos, Ni Xuexue couldn’t be sure that she would definitely be the replacement in case Du Xing got injured, she might...might not have done anything!"

Lu Yinchu knitted his brows, not saying a word.

Nanxi contemplated for a moment, feeling as if she was being too harsh!

Lu Yinchu didn’t do anything wrong, he did not violate the law, and he certainly didn’t harm anyone with unethical behavior. After all, the malice came from Ni Xuexue. Ni Xuexue harbored the ambition to hurt Du Xing, nobody could’ve stopped her!

"I’m sorry..." Nanxi puckered her lips and apologized.

Lu Yinchu ruffled her hair, "You’re such a silly girl! Don’t worry, because of the injury to Du Xing’s leg, she can’t continue as a T-platform model, but she’s in excellent condition and can still be a static model. I’ve already recommended her to the fashion magazine by Muyun. Before long, she’ll be able to sign a contract to become an exclusive model for the magazine. You should be aware of the status of Muyun’s magazine agency in H city. With this arrangement, we wouldn’t be wronging her..."

Nanxi looked up at him, her eyes flashed with surprise. However, an unspeakable discomfort rose in her heart at this unexpected development.

Everything was already thought of and planned by this man. He has already decided all of the arrangements and means of handling the situation!

Just how formidable the man she was with?

"Lu Yinchu..."

"Hmm?"

Lu Yinchu responded, a hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes, "What’s wrong?"

"I want to kiss you!"

..."

After a slight pause, Lu Yinchu’s mouth formed a gentle curve. He got up, hooking his hand around her neck, leaned in, and claimed her lips with his at that instant.
