Boss Feng held Luo Xi’s shoulder and quickly sized her up all over.
Very good. It seems that she didn’t suffer any external injuries.
The most important face didn’t have any small cuts. Compared to other people’s pale faces and fatigue, her condition looked much better.
Sure enough, it was different when one was under the sea’s wing.
Boss Feng could finally put his anguished heart at ease. Fortunately, their company’s future golden thick thigh and cash cow hadn’t been lost in this accident.
“Boss?” Luoxi moved and wanted to struggle out of his grip after being stared at by him for quite a while.
“It’s good. It’s good. We’ll go to the hospital when we get back. We have to conduct a comprehensive medical examination…” Boss Feng repeated. As soon as he raised his eyes, they met with Li Mo’s fierce gaze.
Startled, he thought that Li Mo’s gaze looked as if she wanted to tear him apart. Why didn’t she look at the situation? Did she want to start a quarrel?
Boss Feng was so annoyed he wanted to start a dispute, but when he saw Li Mo’s stark pale face, he swallowed his anger.
Forget about it. He won’t argue with her since she had encountered the tsunami.
Mo Nan nervously watched the person who got down from Lu Group’s rescue boat. Seeing the familiar figure appear, he said to himself: ‘Sure enough’.
Sure enough. Gong Xu had met with a mishap. It was impossible for Lu Haozhi to not come. That person stood behind navy rescuers, his silhouette almost blending into the darkness. He was handsome and menacing. His ink-colored eyes swept across the crowd. He did not see the person. He fixed his gaze on Mo Nan and said, “Where is Gong Xu?”
Mo Nan trembled out of habit and responded with difficulty, “…hasn’t been found yet.”
Although it was caused by a natural disaster this time, Mo Nan still felt a bit fearful when facing Lu Haozhi’s gaze.
Everyone had participated in the show and encountered the tsunami together, but they all escaped unscathed from the danger and only Luo Haozhi’s little brother was lost. No matter how Mo Nan thought about it, he couldn’t help but feel scared. When demon king Lu was angry, he absolutely refused to see reason.
Mo Nan stood silently and waited to bear Lu Haozhi’s fury.
The result was contrary to his expectation. Unbeknown whether it was his deadly pale face that touched Lu Haozhi, or it was other people’s miserable condition that made him keep his reason, Lu Haozhi actually did not get angry. Even those sharp and penetrating eyes which seemed to stare at a dead person and murderous aura did not appear.
Mo Nan watched Lu Haozhi walk past him and toward Tang Luoxi’s direction.
Mo Nan: “…..”
He didn’t hear that Lu Haozhi chased after women. Could it be that even Lu Haozhi couldn’t resist that newbie’s nature-defying face?
Suddenly, Boss Feng felt a shiver run down his spine. He turned his head and faced Lu Haozhi’s face. Seeing his gaze go past him and stare at his newbie, he muttered to himself.
‘What is wrong with Lu Haozhi? Did he take a fancy to Luoxi?’
This was far from good.
There were many celebrities in the entertainment industry who were kept by sponsors. Some newbies and minor celebrities regarded hugging the sponsor daddy’s thigh as their jumping-off point. Being taken under a sponsor’s wing was much easier than going through arduous training or hard work.
This sort of existence was tacitly approved by the industry. As long as it was under mutual consent, the goods were delivered and the bill was settled, it was one of the ways to go.
Some companies even arranged private dinners for sponsors and artists, and if they hit it off, they could directly make a deal.
He had counted on Luoxi gaining popularity and making Ba Tian Entertainment take off1, but that didn’t mean he had no boundaries and would send Luoxi to a sponsor’s bed.
Luoxi, this child, was so pure. She had no ambition towards the entertainment industry. How could he let her be trampled on by others? Even if the sponsor was Lu Haozhi, it was out of the question.
Just as boss Feng was nervous inside, thinking about how to dispel Lu Haozhi’s thoughts, Lu Haozhi spoke. His voice was deep and beautiful, but also cold.
“Boss Feng, how about you take your person to the boat first and send them to the hospital for examination as soon as possible?”
Boss Feng: “…..”
Boss Feng felt that his eyes were blurred. Why did he seem to see a trace of dislike in Lu Haozhi’s eyes? Who did he dislike? Luoxi?
This person stared at their Luoxi for half a day and came to such a conclusion?
That attitude was full of coldness, alienation, dislike, and aversion!!!
Boss Feng’s previous worries vanished. His brain was filled with—
‘Are you blind? Don’t you see our Luoxi’s nature-defying face? Yet, you dislike it?’
‘Could it be that this Lu Haozhi has abnormal aesthetics?!’
‘The rich have so many quirks!’
‘If you don’t like it, why the hell were you watching her, staring at her so intently?!’
Lu Haozhi’s emotions were hidden deeply, passing in a flash. If boss Feng wasn’t watching him so intently, pondering about how to deal with him, he might have missed it.
If the other person took a fancy to Luoxi, he would worry.
Now, that the other person disliked her, he was even more angry.
Their baby was such a darling. If her qualities were put into ancient times, she would be a beauty written down in historical records. Lu Haozhi must suffer from an eye ailment.
The boss frantically ridiculed him inside but maintained a polite smile on the outside. He thanked Lu Haozhi and indicated his little artists to follow him and get on the rescue boat.
As they brushed past each other, Lu Haozhi’s gaze stopped on Luoxi for a few seconds. When Luoxi raised her eyes to look at him, he looked away, watching the rescuers arranging the guests to get on the boat. She thought nonchalantly:
‘He smells like a fish. How long has he been soaked in the sea?’
However, within that fishy smell, there was a familiar smell.
There were two rescue boats that found this reef island. One belonged to the official naval rescue team, and the other belonged to the Lu Group.
The boat of the navy rescue team left with the guests they found. At the same time, they notified the other vessels to continue searching southward. Only the rescue boat of Lu Group was still waiting on the shore.
The people on the rescue boat were all Lu Haozhi’s subordinates. After all the other people left, his secretary stepped forward and asked him: “Young master, is the second young master still on the island?”
Lu Haozhi came from a twin. Very few people knew that he had a fraternal twin brother. Although the brothers were twins, the two looked nothing alike because they were fraternal.
Lu Haozhi uhm-ed lowly. He looked at the other side of the reef island and spoke indifferently, “Not coming out yet?”
After a moment of silence, a round head emerged from the reefs. Those short ears, furry head, round spots. It was actually the leopard Luoxi and the others saved in the sea!
The leopard’s round almond-shaped eyes glanced around. Seeing no outsiders, it lifted its big paws and walked out.
It walked toward Lu Haozhi and rubbed against his trousers.
Lu Haozhi lowered his head and frowned slightly. His trousers were covered with fur.
After the leopard cheerfully rubbed against him, it finally remembered its elder brother’s light mysophobia. Apart from loathing fish, he disliked even more animal fur on him.
The leopard, Gong Xu, immediately raised its big paw and thoughtfully patted his elder brother’s trousers, trying to remove its fur. However, because it flopped in the sea and stood on the reef for a long time, as soon as its big paw patted the trousers, it left behind an eye-catching and dirty grey print. It was even a little wet and particularly obvious on the black suit trousers.
Leopard: “……”
It whined lowly, expressing that it didn’t do it on purpose. It hasn’t shifted into a leopard for a long while and felt that its IQ had decreased a bit.
Lu Haozhi looked deeply at his little brother, then turned his head and headed toward the boat. The leopard was dumbfounded. Why did his elder brother’s gaze appear like looking at a mentally-disabled person?
Although every time he shifted to a leopard, his self-control decreased and he was affected by the leopard’s habits, he definitely was not a mentally-disabled person! He was his brother who was connected to him by blood. There was no way he would look at him with such cruel eyes, right?
The secretary secretly held back a smile. He lowered his head and said: “Second young master, how about getting on the boat first?”
The leopard grumbled from its throat and raised its paw unhappily. As it passed by a reef cave, the leopard’s sharp ears noticed a faint banging sound inside.
It used its paws to pull aside the stone that blocked the entrance of the cave and took a look. Oh, the golden ball of MAX company had actually survived.
The golden ball which was confined in the small dark room kept ramming around after being thrown into the reef hole, wishing to fly out to continue its filming mission. But, Luoxi had plugged it tightly at the time. The golden ball’s strength wasn’t strong enough to knock away the stone. It rammed chaotically inside as if chasing its tail. Due to increased energy consumption coupled with the tsunami havoc, it was about to go on strike at the moment.
When the mouth of the cave opened, the golden ball wobbled and floated out. It couldn’t fly high anymore. It staggered and rewarded the leopard with a big close-up shot.
The leopard: “…….”
The leopard took down the golden ball with one paw, stepped on it, and rubbed it against the reef.
Shoot, shoot, shoot. The hell with shooting. Can he be shot with such an appearance?!
The golden ball made a sizzling noise as if wailing in agony. After struggling and twisting a few times beneath the ruthless leopard’s claws, it completely went out and ceased any movement. The red dot that represented the shooting also turned off.
Seeing it finally walk off the job, the leopard leaned down with satisfaction. It lowered its head and held the golden ball between its lips. While flicking his tail, it got on the boat.
The secretary who witnessed the whole scene: “…….”
Second young master, isn’t it dirty? What’s more, holding the ball between your lips?
The paw that took the golden ball down a while ago looked exactly the same as when his cat master at home played with the cat stick. They were indeed both felines. Fortunately, the young master didn’t see the second young master’s behavior, or else he wouldn’t be looking at him as mentally-disabled only….
——
When Luoxi got on the rescue boat, she finally remembered the leopard. Even though they left, the Lu Group’s people were still on the island, and they would surely find the leopard. Her reward flew away!
Luo Xi has just suffered a blow. She sat gloomily at the corner of the wall while growing mushrooms.
The eyes of boss Feng, who had been keeping an eye on his artist, twitched. This gloominess…..was exactly the same as when he had forbidden her to go to the pool in the past.
The boss turned his head to the side and whispered to her: “Have a little patience. You can go soaking as soon as you check up at the hospital.”
Mid-sentence, he caught a glimpse of a golden light flashing on Luoxi’s wrist from the corner of his eyes and paused in surprise. What was that? A golden bracelet? Did she go out with a bracelet today?
That golden light flashed by and was blocked by her sleeve. Although the boss had barely seen it, he knew that it was too exquisite to be an ordinary item. This content belongs to thehlifestyle.com, if you see this translation elsewhere, it’s been stolen!
With a sound of swish, the Little Golden Dragon climbed up the Luoxi’s wrist. It was almost being seen by the human.
Seeing that the boss kept staring at her wrist, Luoxi slowly pushed down an object from her sleeve to divert his attention.
When the boss saw clearly the object she took out, he gasped.
It was a golden bracelet inlaid with coral. The coral was the rare red coral that was oxblood-colored with a glassy texture, and its body showed no trace of impurity.
The gold coiled around the coral and was carved into the shape of a phoenix, with its mouth and tail connected. It looked realistic.
The material and the craftsmanship of the bracelet revealed a lavish ancient vibe. No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like an ordinary object.
The boss had a good eye for these things and could recognize that this bracelet wasn’t new. It looked more like an ancient artifact from the palace. That phoenix on the top couldn’t be worn by anyone.
“This thing….where did you get it from?”
He was very sure that Luoxi didn’t have this bracelet this morning when she went out.
Luoxi blinked her eyes, “I picked it up from the sea.”
The boss: “……”
Ha Ha. Do you think I’m stupid? If this thing could be casually picked up in the sea, why would he be running an entertainment company? He would be soaking in the sea every day, picking up the treasures.
The rescue boat wasn’t big. All the guests were arranged in the same room. When they heard the conversation between the boss and Luoxi, they raised their gazes to look at them.
They were surprised when they saw that bracelet. Li Wei was so astonished he blurted out: “The phoenix coral bracelet from the palace?”
The rest of the people were taken aback as they looked at him.
