Capítulo 34: What, Do I Look Like A Bad Person?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"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…
Capítulo 35: You Definitely Think Too Highly Of Yourself!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Completely shocked by the sight that was happening in front of her eyes, Li Shengxia immediately stepped forward to grab Mo Nianchen's arm. "We're at a charity auction event. You can't do this!" she said anxiously.
Was he not here to pretend to be a good man? How could he lose control within seconds?
His arm froze, his fist hanging up there in the air.
He remained in that position for several seconds.
The manager's face went pale with fear. "Crown... Crown Prince… Did I say something wrong? Please forgive me…"
Before he could finish speaking, Mo Nianchen pushed him away, looking disgusted as if he had touched something filthy. Then, he removed the expensive suit he was wearing and threw it into the trash can nearby!
His cold voice filled the room as he did that, "I don't want to see this man within my sight starting from this second."
The manager was terrified beyond his wits. "Crown Prince, this job means a great deal to me. Crown Prince…" he pleaded sincerely.
"Don't make me repeat myself." His eyes revealed no emotion yet they reeked of intimidation.
Instead of flying into a rage, the man remained as calm as water, but the people around him felt they were drowning in violent waves of fury.
The manager was shocked into silence!
As well as everyone else at the scene!
It was rumored that the crown prince was hot-tempered but this was unexpected. A slip of the tongue was enough to have one's career destroyed. The crowd dispersed immediately for fear of accidentally offending the man.
The manager who called the crown prince benevolent earlier got a really nasty shock. He still had no idea what it was he said that offended the crown prince. However, now he learned to not flatter just anyone without proper consideration!
Soon, he was escorted out of the room and disappeared within sight in a matter of seconds.
Li Shengxia still had not recovered from the shock. Mo Nianchen was already a tyrant back in their school days. Not only was he an academic overachiever but he had also never lost a fight. No one in school dared to provoke him.
However, due to his dashing looks, not only did the girls not hate him, they also admired him like an idol. The boys on the other hand feared him and at the same time respected him because of his family background as well as his charm.
As it turned out, nothing had changed.
The chaos settled down within seconds. Silence returned to the room as if nothing happened.
Li Shengxia looked at the ground with her hands folded in front of her. She began to feel uncomfortable as she thought of what others would think of her.
She was suddenly washed over by a sense of shame.
"What are you doing there?" Mo Nianchen enquired. She dodged away before the tip of his fingers could touch her.
His eyes were filled with indifference as he spoke flatly, "What's the matter? Are you embarrassed to be seen with me?"
She declined to answer but her behavior clearly expressed her thoughts. 'Yes, you're right, that's exactly how I feel! Being with you makes me ashamed. I wish I could flee from this place right now!'
Instead, she clenched her fists and posed the question, "How many women have you brought to this place before?"
"Why? Are you bothered about that?" He cheered up a little. Indeed, he had brought other women to charity auctions before to have other people rate and critic them. That was pretty much the sole reason he brought them along to these events…
However, that happened during those five years when he lost her. More than once, he had tried using these methods to forget her…
The man agreed that he had acted childishly in the past. He truly did not expect to have her back in his life one day, and that the things he did back then would make her feel uncomfortable.
He was guilty of his doings and felt apologetic to her.
Despite that…
She simply said coldly, "No, I don't care, but I do feel ashamed being seen walking next to you! I'm sure everyone thinks I'm your prostitute."
She did not try to hide the disgust in her gaze!
The pity on his face was replaced by a ruthless expression. "Since that's how you feel then I'll show you what a real prostitute would do!" He grabbed her by the wrist immediately and dragged her toward the direction of the washroom.
The woman struggled to free from his grip but that only attracted more curious attention. No one dared to step forward from the crowd, even though they were silently judging the situation with their own wild imagination. She had no choice but to go with the man.
He slammed the washroom door shut behind him without revealing any emotion on his face. The man pushed her back against the wall next to the sink. She could sense the exasperation in his breath.
Her teeth were chattering. A chill ran down her spine and made her shiver uncontrollably.
She did not try to stop his assault of kisses. In spite of that, he felt like a massive loser when he witnessed the devastated expression on her face!
"How much do you think your face is worth? How much do you think your body is worth? Do you think many people would be interested in how you look? You definitely think too highly of yourself! If you feel like a prostitute, then I'll show you the whole experience!"
His voice, not different to the shrills of ghosts and demons from hell, rang incessantly next to her ears…
"You don't know how to cater to your owner or whisper sweet nothings, not to mention that sullen look you always put on as if you've been insulted. Who do you think would be willing to buy you?!"
The cold tiles on the wall numbed her senses.
Finally, she reached her limit. "Mo Nianchen, stop it! You can insult me but please don't insult my personality and dignity!"
Was it not enough for him to humiliate her as if she was worth nothing? Would he only be satisfied after crushing the last bit of her dignity?
A sarcastic smile flashed across his face. "I'll insult you just as you wish!"
His words completely destroyed her.
This was how he was, going about his day destroying other people as long as it pleased him. She lost the power to protect even the last bit of her dignity in front of this man!
