Chapter 533 - I Like Your Domineering Side
Chapter 533: I Like Your Domineering Side (Part One)
When it was almost late afternoon, Lin Chuxue finally slowly woke up, feeling that there was some energy back in her. It was her first time waking up this late, and when she got up, she saw Xu Cheng pushing a cart with their dinner over.
Lin Chuxue glanced at him begrudgingly.
“Time to eat.”
Lin Chuxue stretched lazily. “So tired, I’m starving to death.”
After getting out of bed, she was a bit shocked. “What time is it? I forgot that I promised Mr. Haber’s wife that I would have afternoon tea with her, I basically stood her up…”
“It’s almost night time, and I’ve already gone to see Haber earlier. His wife knows that you were too tired and were still asleep so it’s fine.”
Just then, Haber’s son Zawa knocked on the door. Xu Cheng opened it, and Zawa personally handed over an invitation card to Xu Cheng and said, “Mr. Xu, my father wanted me to give this to you; we hope you can come to the party that’s being held on a cruise ship tonight.”
“Alright, I got it.” Xu Cheng nodded, closed the door, and put the invitation on the table.
Lin Chuxue ate the dinner as she looked at the invitation, and she subconsciously asked Xu Cheng, “How did you meet this wealthy tycoon in Dubai?”
Xu Cheng said, “He’s the second son of the chief, and he doesn’t have much ambition. After all, it’s his brother who will inherit the chief position, so he just needs to spend money and enjoy life. These kinds of people are most suitable for being a friend, because they won’t use you for anything.”
Lin Chuxue narrowed her beautiful eyes. “But how come I feel like he’s always trying to please you? Or maybe, he seems to really respect you.”
“That’s normal. I’m a skilled killer, and he’s a rich man. It’s normal for rich people to suck up to assassins, it’s very logical.” Xu Cheng smiled. “We won’t go to the party tonight. I know Haber wants to introduce more people to me, but I think it would be pretty boring for both of us. I will just stay behind and accompany you for the next few days.”
“No, I’m going back to school tomorrow.” Lin Chuxue seemed to have suddenly changed her mind.
“Didn’t we plan on spending a week here?” Xu Cheng was a bit confused.
Lin Chuxue was a bit shy as she lowered her head and kept on eating.
Right now, she was a bit afraid to be in the same room with Xu Cheng, obviously scared that this guy would be h—y 25/8 and also wouldn’t get tired. That’s why she wanted to leave early.
“Let’s go to the party tonight.” Lin Chuxue picked up the napkin and elegantly wiped her lips as she said to Xu Cheng, “I know that you prefer a quiet environment rather than attend lively events, but as your wife, in the future, I must help you out with running a relationship network.”
“Wouldn’t you find it boring and tiring?” Xu Cheng said, “I remember you also don’t like these kinds of parties the most.”
“You don’t understand. My mom told me many times that men are very careless and need a woman behind their backs to take care of the details they overlook, such as the accumulation of contacts. I told you, I don’t want to be just a princess being protected by you. If I can help you in some way, then just let me do it.”
“You don’t have to help me, you just need to enjoy life,” Xu Cheng smiled and said.Lin Chuxue looked over at him with determination.
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. “Alright, do what makes you happy. In the future, I will let you manage my money and assets too, alright?”
Lin Chuxue lifted her brows. “Otherwise, who else would you give them to manage? Let me tell you, Xu Cheng, when I graduate, I will be settling the family bill with you.”
Xu Cheng gave her a knight’s salute and said, “Yes, my queen.”
Lin Chuxue chuckled and continued eating with satisfaction.
At night, Haber’s Rolls-Royce Phantom was lent to Xu Cheng so that he could take Lin Chuxue to the big mall in Dubai to shop for a dress for the party, and he also sent a driver along with the car to be responsible for driving and picking them up all around Dubai for the remainder of the trip.
Chapter 533: I Like Your Domineering Side (Part Two)
The night party was set on the largest world-class cruise docked by the port of Dubai, one that was enough to show the financial power of the Arabian royal family.
Many family members came, as well as the rich businessmen that were also in Dubai at the time. Lin Chuxue wore a white evening dress, and with her snow-white skin and blue eyes, she looked like a fairy that just came to the human world.
Xu Cheng wore a simple suit and with his arm crossed with Lin Chuxue’s, he passed the invitation to the gentleman at the gate and boarded the cruise.
On the first deck’s general activity area, Haber had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue, he immediately walked up to him. Haber’s wife looked at Lin Chuxue and there was a strange smile on his face. “Mr. Xu is definitely a capable man.”
Lin Chuxue didn’t understand the meaning at first, and seeing Haber chuckling on the side, Lin Chuxue immediately pinched Xu Cheng on the back. It was this b@stard that made her so tired today that she couldn’t get out of bed to go for afternoon tea with Haber’s wife.
There were many people on board. Xu Cheng curiously asked Haber, “Why did you suddenly think of inviting us to this kind of banquet?”
“To take you guys to experience the most extravagant nightlife here. This cruise ship belongs to our chief, and it docks in the Persian Gulf every month. This isn’t much of a banquet, but more like a party. The cruise ship has all the facilities you can imagine, including indoor swimming pools, a fishing zone, an indoor theatre, a casino, an underground boxing ring, and so on. Just enjoy~ I told you, since you are here, then I will take you to experience the highest level of luxury that Dubai can offer. There are many wealthy men here, and many faces from Asia too. You know as well, there are many low-profile rich Asians.”
Haber put his arm around his shoulder and said, “Let me know if you want to play something tonight. If you don’t have enough money, I can let you borrow some first. The most important thing is to have fun.”
Xu Cheng smiled as he thought, Oh my dear Haber, you know me so well. You know that I’m short on cash recently and actually dragged me into this kind of opportunity to reap wealth from a crowd full of millionaires and billionaires. Originally, I wasn’t too worried about money, but ever since that old man Hawking asked me for 5 billion for initial funding, my bank account is feeling a bit of the burn. In the future, that old grandpa’s probably going to ask for more, so don’t blame me tonight for winning all the money.
Spotting that smile on Xu Cheng’s face, Lin Chuxue asked him curiously, “Didn’t you say you are not interested in this kind of occasion? How come I feel you are pretty excited?”
“I am?” Xu Cheng immediately restored his indifferent expression.
“You think I don’t know you well enough?” Lin Chuxue glanced at him. “I wouldn’t know what you are thinking from just looking at your eyes?”
Xu Cheng ridiculed, “Then tell me what I’m thinking about right now.”
“Definitely up to no good.” Lin Chuxue snorted, “I’m too lazy to figure out what you are up to. I’m going with Haber’s wife, I will come and find you in a bit.”
“Where to?”
Lin Chuxue said, “She’s planning to introduce me to a few female friends. I realized that I don’t have too big of a network. In the past, I went with you to Huaxia before graduating, and now that I want to help you out, I realize that I do need to work on my social skills. Right now, I don’t even have that many friends. So of course I’m going to make some right now, but I promise you, I won’t have any male friends. Are you happy now?”
Xu Cheng: “That’s more like it. My wife indeed knows me well.”
“Yeah, I know you too well.” Lin Chuxue rolled her eyes at him. “Because I know if I befriend someone that has the intention to court me, you would probably beat them to death.”
“Am I that domineering?” Xu Cheng was speechless.
Lin Chuxue smiled and said, “You are already progressing in that direction, and it’s getting more and more serious.”
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. In fact, he knew himself.
Chuxue, if in this world, even you abandoned me, then there won’t be anyone that’s willing to be on my side. So, you are all I have left, and I won’t allow anyone to hurt you!
Lin Chuxue walked towards Haber’s wife. But before leaving, she suddenly turned around and smiled at Xu Cheng. “But I like the domineering side of you, just reserved for me!”
Xu Cheng smiled as well.
