Chapter 128: Celebration Banquet? Brothers Appearing Together!

After speaking, Lu Sheng wrapped her legs directly around Shen Huai's waist, trapping him in her embrace.

"Why have you never told me about these things?"

"Be... cause, I felt these were my private matters."

Shen Huai said in a husky, low voice.

Lu Sheng's scorching breath brushed against the fine hairs on his cheek, like an invisible feather scraping back and forth across his heart.

This was truly lethal.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly, then immediately threw out a second question.

"Was that person at the Ryan Press Conference last time a disguise of yours?"

"Didn't I say already, he is my brother." Shen Huai didn't blush or skip a beat, spouting nonsense.

Having gone to such great lengths to set up this scheme with the Yang Family and the Shen Family, how could he possibly reveal the truth just because of a little "lust"? That would be looking down on him, Shen Huai, too much.

"Then... are you really the son of the Shen Family?" Seeing Shen Huai's look of absolute certainty, Lu Sheng couldn't help but frown.

"……Yeah."

The two were in an overly intimate position.

A fire ignited in Shen Huai's heart, and he gritted his teeth, wanting to get up from Lu Sheng.

Who would have thought that just as his upper body propped itself up, he was pressed back down by Lu Sheng.

"Don't move, I haven't finished asking yet..."

Lu Sheng curled her lips in triumph, her hands clutching Shen Huai's head tightly: "When did you find out about your background?"

"Half a day earlier than you... that's enough, let go first, okay?"

Shen Huai buried his head in Lu Sheng's chest.

The highly oppressive peaks made him feel somewhat distracted.

"Your brother looks too much like you; even for twins, they wouldn't look this similar, right?" Lu Sheng still found it hard to believe.

Shen Huai had anticipated this, his muffled voice coming from her chest: "If you don't believe me, go ask Tong Yue yourself; she has seen the Madam of the Shen Family with her own eyes."

"Oh?"

Seeing Shen Huai bring up Tong Yue, Lu Sheng's movements involuntarily loosened.

She was naturally well aware of who Tong Yue was.

If one were to award a prize to the person in this world least capable of lying, Tong Yue would certainly be on the list.

"Then aren't you afraid that your twin brother will hold a grudge against you? After all, with one more son, the family inheritance is cut in half."

Changing the subject, Lu Sheng asked from a different angle.

"He won't." Shen Huai didn't even think about it, speaking confidently, "Have you forgotten the game project proposal you handed to me before?"

Once these words were out, Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

Only then did she react to the meaning behind Shen Huai's words, suddenly enlightened.

"So that's how it is, it actually turned out like this..."

Lu Sheng's eyes burst with a sharp light: "I was just saying, why would that game project choose a nobody like you to be the person in charge at the very beginning."

It was clearly done with his brother's authorization.

This game development project was something the Heir to the Shen Family had announced publicly at the Ryan Press Conference.

Logically speaking, this was a project that belonged to his brother.

If there truly were a rift between the brothers.

With such a fat cake and such a massive project, how could that brother be willing to write Shen Huai's name on it?

"……According to what you're saying, I suddenly have a bold guess."

Lu Sheng suddenly leaned close to Shen Huai's ear, saying mysteriously:

"Tell me, did your brother know about your identity long ago?"

"So he simply put your name directly on the game project in his hands, as a welcome gift and a surprise?"

"How about it, my imagination is quite reasonable, right?"

Lu Sheng was full of confidence in her own speculation.

Shen Huai, however, was so breathless he dared not even gasp.

Sure enough.

When it comes to baseless gossip and wild imagination, no one can beat a woman.

As Lu Sheng spoke, her expression became increasingly animated.

Her gaze suddenly began to wander somewhat wickedly across Shen Huai's chest, her tongue curling slightly.

"Tsk, I wonder if your brother is the same as you when he takes off his clothes?"

"If one day, I were with your brother..."

"……!" Shen Huai almost choked on his own saliva.

"Lu Sheng! Can you not have your brain filled with such lewd trash..."

Shen Huai was extremely speechless inside.

She was his department head on the surface, at least; don't just spit out whatever wild and inappropriate words come to mind, hey!

"Hmph."

Lu Sheng let out a soft huff, pushing Shen Huai's shoulder aside with extreme dissatisfaction. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

"I came here today, besides checking on the status of our big star at Xingyao, secondly, I wanted to tell you,"

"Ryan has sent an invitation, inviting us to head to their headquarters to attend this Friday's celebration banquet."

"They specifically mentioned that they are very much looking forward to your attendance."

"What??"

Shen Huai pointed at himself, his face full of question marks, "Are you saying that Ryan also invited me?"

"Mm, what's wrong? Are you surprised?" Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow indifferently, looking at Shen Huai noncommittally.

"……I am indeed a bit surprised."

Shen Huai furrowed his brows and lowered his eyes in thought.

That's not right.

Wasn't it his 'older brother' who took the stage at the Ryan Press Conference? Why would Ryan think to invite him if they didn't invite his 'older brother'?

"After all, you are now the second son of the Shen Family, a well-deserved man of the hour."

"Furthermore, you are working at our Xingyao, and this new project is about to launch immediately. Plus, there are all sorts of rumors spreading outside, saying things like there is internal discord among you."

"Looking at it from several factors, if you appear in public with your brother at the celebration banquet, that would be the best slap in the face."

……! Shen Huai's heart skipped a beat.

Appear together? Where is he supposed to conjure up a living person for them?

His initial plan was to take it slow and proceed step by step.

Use the twin situation to first stir up the hype for the press conference and the game.

Finally, after the traffic harvesting was complete, the "older brother" would return overseas and continue to live in seclusion, while he himself could rightfully call the shots in China.

But he didn't expect.

Ryan was actually going to hold some kind of celebration banquet suddenly?! And they invited so many people.

Shen Huai's Adam's apple bobbed, and he lowered his eyes to check the time.

Today is already Thursday.

Doesn't that mean the celebration banquet is tomorrow?? Shen Huai's eyes darkened.

With less than 1 day left, any plan he adopted would likely be too late.

What is he supposed to do? ……

Shen Huai narrowed his eyes, finding himself in a difficult spot for a moment.

Compared to the deep-in-thought Shen Huai, Lu Sheng looked quite relaxed.

She scanned Shen Huai's attire from top to bottom, stroked her chin, and said, "……At any rate, you are now the second son of the Shen Family; I'm afraid this outfit isn't worthy of your new identity."

"……Hm?"

Shen Huai was stunned for a moment by Lu Sheng's sudden change of topic.

He subconsciously looked down at his clothes and said dismissively, "Didn't I buy a set on the day I started? You even picked it out, forgot?"

"Of course I didn't forget."

Lu Sheng smiled and hooked Shen Huai's chin, "It's just that that set was fine for the you from before, but for your new identity, it's still not enough."

After she finished speaking.

A flash of craftiness crossed Lu Sheng's eyes.

She rolled over on the sofa with Shen Huai, then propped herself up on him and rose lazily: "Let's go, I'll accompany you to buy a new set."

"……No, no need."

Shen Huai looked resistant.

He really didn't want to go out right now; he felt like there were paparazzi everywhere outside waiting to entrap him.

"What, are you short on cash? Has the Shen Family not had time to send you money yet?" Lu Sheng crossed her arms and looked at him with a half-smile.

"……It's not that, I'm just afraid that if I go out and get discovered, it will be very troublesome."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng shrugged indifferently and then pulled open a plastic bag: "Don't worry, I've already prepared everything."

Inside the plastic bag, it was packed full of disguise equipment.

A fake beard, sunglasses, a hat, and even a fake pregnancy belly.

Shen Huai rummaged through the bizarre equipment in the plastic bag, and he felt terrible.

What kind of wicked disguises are these? "Don't worry, as long as you don't deliberately look around, no one will notice you."

As Lu Sheng said this, she took the initiative to put the sunglasses and hat on Shen Huai's head, then pulled Shen Huai's hand and walked toward the door.

The moment she gripped the doorknob and turned it to open the door.

A figure standing at the doorway gave Lu Sheng a sudden fright.

Her footsteps stopped instantly.

Lu Sheng looked at the person in front of her, her eyes gradually narrowing, and the hand she was holding Shen Huai's with subconsciously tightened.

"Team Leader Lin? What wind blew you here?"
