Chapter 1

1

In March in Hong Kong, even the air in the house is humid.

In the dressing room, white light poured down.

A pair of slender and delicate hands danced flexibly on the phone screen.

The wine-red nails made the skin on the back of the hand look dazzlingly white.

A line of words appeared in the WeChat dialog box.

Sangsangzi: [Is the dress tonight beautiful? mua~]

Sangsangzi: [Picture.jpg]

The girl in the photo has a small oval face with delicate features, especially the straight nose bridge, which is highly recognizable.

She had a bright smile on her face, wearing a pure white Elie Saab couture tassel dress, which wrapped her whole body tightly, revealing only her fair and slender neck.

Gentle and sweet.

This is the route that Sang Bai has been taking for four years since her debut.

After sending the photo, Sang Bai breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the date on the phone screen: March 2.

She has been with that person for four years.

She smiled lightly, threw the phone to the assistant beside her, and walked to the makeup mirror.

Her face was in the mirror, but it looked strange.

Flaming retro red lips.

Deep V black dress.

A pair of slender and well-proportioned legs under the high-slit long skirt.

Beautiful and sexy, incomparable.

She was completely different from the photo just now.

After four years of debut, Sang Bai had never worn clothes of similar style.

The staff around her had never seen Sang Bai look so sexy, and they kept looking at her.

Sang Bai tilted her head slightly, and was very satisfied with herself in the mirror.

Stylist Youzi said excitedly: "Sang Sang, you are simply a beauty! You will definitely beat Cheng Feifei to win the award tonight!"

Sang Bai was a little amused.

What does styling have to do with winning an award.

But her recent competition with Cheng Feifei is indeed too fierce.

The two are young actresses of the same age. They became famous with fairy tales and ancient idol dramas, and then they both took the pure and sweet route. This year, they were nominated for the Best Newcomer Award of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association and the Academy Awards for their first campus movies. Their routes and fans are highly overlapping, so it would be strange if they didnt fight.

Tonights Performing Artists Association Awards Ceremony is a purely industry-voted award, which is regarded as a weather vane for the Academy Awards and is very important to both of them.

Whoever wins the award will have a smoother career in the future.

However, Yuzi means well, so she naturally has to accept it.

Sang Bai nodded and joked: "If you really win the award, Yuzi will treat you tonight."

Yuzis face fell instantly: "...Then why dont you win the award."

Everyone in the dressing room laughed.

Sang Bai couldnt help but reach out and tap her head: "Youre good."

She looked back at the mirror: "What a pity, I cant walk the red carpet tonight."

Assistant Mai Zi stood beside Sang Bai, staring at her clothes, her eyes full of worry.

Sang Bai had seen her expression a long time ago.

She blinked with a relaxed look: "Dont be afraid, I asked your CEO Lu, he wont come tonight."

Mai Zi was very nervous: "But if you need to go on stage to receive the award, it will be exposed..."

The man who can cover the sky with one hand in the entertainment industry has a strong control and possessiveness over Sang Bai.

There are no intimate scenes allowed during filming, including kissing scenes.

The clothes cannot be exposed in any way, and the skirt cannot be shorter than the knee.

The itinerary must be reported to him at any time.

In the four years together, Sang Bai has always cooperated with all his requests.

This is the first time she has violated the rules he set.

Although Lu Shen has always treated her well in the past four years, there always seems to be a layer between the two of them, and they are not close.

If he really found out, I wonder if he would be angry.

But there was no way. If she wanted to get the role of Changying in the new play "Princess Pingyang" directed by Qin Hou, she had to show her sexy side.

She used to be too naive. Qin Hou didnt even look at her resume.

Maizi knew that Sang Bai liked the role of Changying. She hesitated for a moment and said, "In fact, if you mention it to Mr. Lu..."

Sang Bai shook his head: "You know my principles."

Maizi had to shut up.

After four years of debut, although she was Lu Shens girlfriend, Sang Bai never took the initiative to ask Lu Shen for resources, and even declined all the resources that Lu Shen sent to her.

Sang Bai said calmly: "I am his girlfriend, not his mistress."

Maizi said anxiously: "Thats not what I meant."

Sang Bai nodded: "Dont say that in the future."

Maizi: "Yes, Im just worried..."

Sang Bai was actually a little nervous.

But there was a reason why she dared to do this.

This award ceremony will not be broadcast live, the media will not report on it on a large scale, and she will not walk the red carpet. When the time comes, as long as the promotional photos prepared in advance are given to the media, it should be possible to fool them.

Sang Bai patted Mai Zi on the shoulder and comforted her: "Dont worry, havent we arranged everything? He wont find out."

Mai Zi was uneasy: "But what if..."

Sang Bai interrupted her: "Your President Lu is now negotiating a multi-billion acquisition project on the other side of the ocean. How can he have time to watch such a small award ceremony in the industry."

The more she talked, the more she felt that it was impossible. She completely relaxed, leaned back in the chair, took a sip of the Starbucks she bought before, squinted her eyes and asked comfortably: "What time is it? How long will it take to start?"

Mai Zi glanced at the phone and handed it over.

"7 oclock in the evening."

Sang Bai took the phone, and Lu Shen had not replied to any message.

He should be busy.

It doesnt seem like he would have any reaction to the fourth anniversary.

Of course he wouldnt.

Maybe from the beginning to the end, his concern for her was just to treat her as a property.

She gently put the Starbucks paper cup on the table and reapplied her lipstick: "Lets go."

*

The corridor was brightly lit and covered with a long red carpet.

Sang Bai picked up her skirt and just stepped out of the door, she ran into Cheng Feifei head-on.

What a narrow road for enemies.

Cheng Feifei still went for the sweet route, wearing a white feather long skirt of an unknown brand, with slightly curled hair scattered behind her.

Although the temperament is generally similar, the facial features are very different.

Sang Bais eyes are bigger than hers, his nose is more upturned than hers, his chin is more pointed than hers, and he is a head taller than her.

The two are so close, and its not a photo-editing scene, the contrast is even more tragic.

Seeing Sang Bai, Cheng Feifei was obviously also stunned.

Black sexy high-end dress, obviously very thin, but the chest is very full, and the long legs are not a trace of fat.

A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she soon revealed a fake smile: "Changed style? Will your man be happy?"

Sang Bai was not interested in paying attention to her, and smiled lazily: "Dont bother Sister Cheng."

He actually called her sister.

He also looked like he didnt take her seriously at all.

Cheng Feifei couldnt stand her arrogant look, and she was also a hot-tempered person, so she immediately said: "Why are you so arrogant? Its just a toy on someones bed!"

Sang Bai was not angry, and even laughed.

She took a step closer, lowered her voice, and still said in the same tone as before: "Its better than some people who are offered to the door but no one wants them."

Cheng Feifeis face suddenly changed, and she was so angry that she couldnt speak: "You——"

She did try to get close to Lu Shen. After all, he was the richest man in South City and had a lot of resources in the entertainment industry. Who wouldnt want to curry favor with him?

Unexpectedly, she didnt even get in the door and was driven away by the assistant.

Unexpectedly, Sang Bai knew about this.

Sang Bai didnt wait for her to say anything else, and turned his head and walked away.

But she heard a voice behind her: "Stop."

Sang Bai turned around and said sweetly: "Sister Cheng, do you have any other advice?"

Cheng Feifei walked up to her and gritted her teeth: "Wen Lan came back yesterday. I want to see how arrogant you will be in the future."

Sang Bai raised her eyebrows: "Does it have anything to do with me?"

Cheng Feifei: "You dont know? Mr. Lu almost married her back then."

Her face was normal, and she looked at Cheng Feifei with contempt: "He didnt almost marry you, why are you so excited?"

Cheng Feifei: "..."

Sang Bai finished speaking and turned away.

Although it was just a rumor, she still felt a subtle tingling in her heart after hearing it.

Maizi caught up with her: "Sangsang, there is nothing between Mr. Lu and Wen Lan--"

Sang Bai stopped: "Im not angry."

Maizi: Youre not angry yet? The tone of voice has changed a little.

But she didnt dare to continue.

Sang Bai took two steps forward in her high heels, then suddenly stopped, her back tensed.

At the end of the corridor, Ping Peng stood there.

Ping Peng was Lu Shens personal assistant. If he was here, it meant that Lu Shen was here too.

Why did he come here suddenly?

Didnt he say he was busy?

A surprise check?

Sang Bai didnt have time to think too much, so she winked at Mai Zi, who understood and immediately turned back to the dressing room.

Sang Bai calmed down and walked over slowly.

Ping Peng handed her the smoky gray shawl in his hand, looking straight ahead, and said politely, "Ms. Sang, Mr. Lu is waiting for you in the VIP lounge."

Sang Bai nodded, took it to cover her bare shoulders, and followed him.

*

This area seemed to have been cleared, and there was no one around, so quiet that it didnt look like the backstage of an awards ceremony at all.

There was only the dull footsteps of two people.

Very occasionally, Lu Shen would give her a "surprise".

But for her, every time it was a shock.

Fortunately, she had good acting skills, so she didnt reveal the truth in the past few years.

Coming to a red wooden door, Ping Peng knocked on the door and motioned Sang Bai to go in.

Sang Bai adjusted his mood and stepped in.

The soft white light in the room poured down and fell on the man on the sofa, as if it was stained with a layer of moonlight.

He was tall and straight, sitting there with his legs stretched out, and his white shirt was flat without any wrinkles.

Cold, noble, and abstinent.

Especially that extremely aggressive face.

Clear outlines, sharp features, indifferent eyebrows, and a pair of standard eyes that are just right.

Sang Bai is a face control and loves this face of his the most.

After not seeing him for a month, he seems to be a little colder.

She couldnt help but get nervous when she was caught wearing this, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

Lu Shen lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, without any emotion, his eyes fell back to the computer screen on the coffee table.

"If you dont lower the price, put the acquisition on hold, and they are the ones waiting for the money."

"I wont give up a single point."

"Thats it for now, call me back in fifteen minutes."

His voice was cold, calm, and revealed a murderous determination.

He took off his headphones, lifted his eyelids, and his eyes fixed on Sang Bais face again.

Then, his eyes moved slightly down, fell on her chest, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sang Bai clenched his fists imperceptibly.

Lu Shens facial features were sharp, and he usually gave people a strong sense of sharpness and oppression. Now that he was staring at her like this, this discomfort became even stronger.

Even the extremely fine frosted black-framed glasses on his nose seemed to be shining with cold light.

The room seemed to be several degrees colder, and Sang Bai didnt even dare to breathe.

Lu Shen didnt move, nor did he speak.

Sang Bai knew that he was waiting for her to take the initiative.

It has been like this for the past four years. He is like a cold sculpture standing in the cold winter, waiting for her to take the initiative to warm him and melt him.

She has worked hard for four years, but he always treats her so coldly.

Sang Bai was not discouraged.

She calmed down, lifted her skirt, trotted to Lu Shen and squatted down, saying softly: "You are here."

She hugged his legs, as if she was acting coquettishly, but more like trying to please him.

Lu Shen did not show any longing that lovers should have after not seeing each other for a long time.

He let her hug him and didnt touch her.

Unable to figure out his attitude, Sang Bai began to get nervous, and could even hear her heartbeat getting more and more nervous.

After a few seconds, Lu Shen put one hand on her shoulder and pushed her away a little.

His cold fingers slid down along the blood vessels on the right side of her neck, crossed her collarbone, and stopped at her chest.

The skin where his fingertips touched instantly became hot.

Sang Bais heart almost jumped out.

Lu Shen raised his eyebrows to look at her, his eyes were deep, but he didnt speak, as if waiting for her to explain.

Sang Bai looked up, looking at him with a pair of innocent eyes, then looked down at her skirt, and explained a little aggrievedly, "Im so unlucky. The skirt I sent you this morning was accidentally spilled with coffee. This one is for emergency, I just changed it, and I didnt have time to tell you."

She seemed to be throwing a tantrum naturally.

Lu Shen didnt say anything, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

Sang Bai leaned over and put her arms around his waist: "Im sorry, I didnt mean it."

She knew that Lu Shen was the most susceptible to her tricks.

Her body was soft, and she fell into his arms with a faint scent of peony.

Gentle and sweet.

After a moment, Lu Shen stretched out an arm, reached out and slowly and forcefully pressed her into his arms.

——This level was passed.

Sang Bai breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she didnt dare to show it on her face. She just leaned in his arms obediently: "Its too late to adjust other skirts. Dont worry, I will be careful to wear this tonight."

Lu Shen seemed to sneer and pushed her away: "Who are you going to wear it for?"

"..."

Sang Bai pursed her lips: "No, its really too late."

Lu Shen lowered his eyes and glanced at her long legs exposed outside.

Sang Bai grabbed his wrist: "Im yours."

Lu Shen said in a low voice: "Its good that you know."

He said, "Sew the clothes up."

Sang Bai: "?"

Sew it up?

Where to sew?

Will this dress still look good after it is sealed?

She shook his arm and tried to act like a spoiled child: "This dress will look ugly if its sewn, just this once..."

Lu Shen interrupted her coldly: "Sew it or dont attend, its your choice."

Decisive and irresistible.

With the habitual superiority of a superior.

Sang Bai felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on her heart.

After following him for four years, Sang Bai knew that there was no room for maneuver.

She said obediently: "Okay."

She tried her best to hide the disappointment in her heart, but she didnt have the heart to deal with Lu Shen, so she asked casually, "Why are you here? Isnt that acquisition very important?"

Lu Shen didnt answer, but just loosened his tie a little, picked up the box on the coffee table and opened it.

A gorgeous blue swan diamond necklace was brought to her.

It was pure without any impurities and sparkled under the white light.

Sang Bai was stunned.

Lu Shen took out the necklace and put it on her neck.

The cool touch of the gemstone spread to her skin.

Sang Bai subconsciously pressed his hand.

"Dont like it?"

"No." Sang Bai suddenly didnt know how to explain, and softened her voice, "I may not win the prize either. Did you give me the gift too early?"

Lu Shen gently brushed her hand away and fastened the necklace for her.

"Happy fourth anniversary."

"..."

Sang Bai paused.

So he remembered.

He came back for the fourth anniversary?

Sang Bai felt a little guilty and said softly, "But I didnt prepare a gift for you."

She thought he wouldnt care about the fourth anniversary at all, after all, he didnt mention it before.

Lu Shen didnt mean to argue with her.

He raised his hand to tidy up the long hair on her cheeks, pinched the tip of her chin, and forced her to look up.

Their eyes met.

Her face was reflected in the depths of his dark brown pupils.

Although he was looking at her, his eyes were indifferent as if he had no emotions, as if he was looking at something without emotions.

Sang Bai breathed gently.

His fingertips slowly moved up, touching the tip of her nose, and gently stroking it.

There was a small black mole slightly to the right of her nose tip.

It was obviously ugly.

But for some reason, Lu Shen liked it very much.

The shawl slid onto the smooth and hard marble floor.

After a moment, Lu Shen pinched her chin again and lifted it up, saying lightly: "Kiss me."
