“It’s not like I’ve not seen you without clothes before.” In spite of that, Mo Nianchen’s cheeks were tinted with a rosy color.

Black suited Li Shengxia. This evening dress highlighted her fair skin, making her look like an enchanting beauty.

Her usual fresh elegance was replaced by a captivating temperament. Right this moment, the woman looked like a seductress.

“You…” She bit her lips and readjusted her posture in the seat. The murderous glare she threw toward the man’s direction was about to bore a hole at the back of his head.

His mood was lifted all of the sudden and he even began humming a tune. She really wished she could vanish into thin air right this very second!

He parked his car in front of Splendid Art Exhibition Hall.

There was a charity auction ball happening here today. Each attendee would sell one item on auction for charitable purposes. The winning bidder could bring home the auction item and all the amount obtained from the bidding would be donated to charity. 

The woman threw him a glance as she got out of the car. She thought initially that he was bringing her to some weird place. Little did she know they were coming to the art exhibition hall.

“Since were you interested in art?”

He raised his eyebrows playfully and replied with a smile, “You’re a piece of art, so I’ve developed an interest.”

It took her a couple of seconds to understand the innuendo and her cheeks were soon flushed red with embarrassment. A leopard can’t change its spots,’ she thought to herself.

“A penny for your thoughts?” He tilted her chin backward with two fingers so they were now looking into each other’s eyes. “Could you be thinking about my stamina?”

Her cheeks were now burning. “Shameless.” She tried to avoid him but she had her back against the door of the luxury car hence there was no way she could escape.

The grin on his face deepened. “I like the face you pulled when you called me shameless. It turns me on.”

As he said that, his bandaged right hand was still holding her chin, whereas his left hand was naturally placed on the car to sandwich her between himself and the vehicle.

His body leaned forward gradually and he whispered seductively into her ear, “Don’t worry, I’ll let you experience first-hand what real shamelessness is.”

Then, he gracefully released his grip from her chin to place his arm around her waist. She tried to pull free again but that only made him hug her closer.

A surge of frustration rocked through her as there was no way she could get out of this situation. “Mo Nianchen, let me go. I can walk fine without your support.”

“Shut up if you don’t want me to make you play up to me right here in the public.” His voice was laced with intimidation.

Her entire body tensed up. The man had definitely gotten better at this! He always knew the perfect way to humiliate her. His words acted like elegant and tender potions that stunned her into silence although she was torn to pieces on the inside.

On the other hand, he behaved as if nothing happened and continued heading toward the art exhibition hall. 

That devil! The woman cursed internally. She wondered if she was blind before to have fallen for this guy. She could only blame herself for the horrible disappointment!

“Relax, I don’t want people to think I’m hugging a living fossil.”

She turned her head quickly to glare at him. “How could I be when you’re hugging me?”

The woman suddenly realized he was looking in her direction too, so he must have unmistakably witnessed the way she looked at him in disdain. She could now hear the thumping of her own heart. Surprisingly, the man was not offended.

Instead, he replied mischievously, “Then you should link your arm with mine.”

“You…”

“What? Do I need to teach you how to do that?”

“Fine!” She would rather hold onto his arm than be hugged by him in public. At least this looked more natural, not to mention that she was able to keep a small distance between them.

The second they stepped through the door, someone appeared to greet them respectfully.

“Crown Prince? I didn’t expect you to join this charity auction today.”

“What, do I look like a bad person?” Mo Nianchen replied flatly.

The manager on duty suddenly felt a shiver down his spine. It was true that the crown prince was difficult to please. A small slip of the tongue could bring forth great danger.

He immediately replied, “No, that’s not what I mean at all! Crown Prince, you look like a benevolent man! No doubt a good person. A great man.”

Li Shengxia’s lips twitched. Could this man be more pretentious? Participating in a charity auction meant having a kind heart? Gross.

The manager on duty heaved a sigh of relief when the crown prince seemed unperturbed. In a matter of seconds, a smile washed over his face. “Crown Prince, please come in. Let me know if you need anything. Oh, this is…”

She found herself holding her breath.

Mo Nianchen replied in a cold voice, “My companion.”

Her face relaxed as a silent sigh escaped her lips.

His reply showed his respect toward the agreement to not disclose their marriage to the public.

However, for reasons unknown to herself, she was actually looking forward to hearing him calling her as his…

She laughed at herself. 

The manager began sizing the woman up and down. The elegance and captivating charm she exuded merged seamlessly like an excellent work of art. He found it difficult to take his eyes away from the naturally graceful beauty.

He attempted a smile before turning to the other man. “Crown Prince, your companion today is beautiful.”

The comment took her by surprise. She met the man’s eyes but quickly hid the uneasiness with an awkward smile.

Mo Nianchen disliked the way the manager stared at her, not to mention the fact that she was looking at another man. A predatory sense of intent slowly filled his eyes.

However, the slow-witted manager, who thought his compliment was appreciated, added on. “I would no doubt rate her a nine.”

Something threatening flashed across Mo Nianchen’s eyes. He grabbed the collar of the manager and said coldly, “Did I ask you to rate my woman?”

The latter was dumbfounded by the sudden change of atmosphere. “Crown Prince, you’ve always asked us to rate your previous female companions…”

He had brought other women here before? The thought filled Li Shengxia with disgust, not to mention that he had asked others to rate those women too. How gross was this man, really? She felt degraded just by standing next to him!

Upon hearing the manager’s words, Mo Nianchen’s clenched fist flew toward the former’s direction…
