Chapter 70: The Temptation of Luosha

The scent belonging to Luosha completely enveloped Lu Chen.

It made Lu Chen really want to just leave directly.

However, the furnishings in the room were still relatively...

Emmm... how should I put it.

It had a bit of a young girl's room feel, yet it also had those kinds of decorations belonging to an adult.

There were even some art pieces displayed in this room.

That painting, "Sorrow Increases 37.5 Degrees," was among them.

It was even placed in the center spot.

This made Lu Chen really not know what to say.

Lu Chen sat cautiously on the sofa, listening to the splashing sound coming from his ear, as well as the faint, cold singing, feeling truly restless.

As the splashing water sound stopped, a few minutes later, a "click" sound made Lu Chen almost close his eyes.

Luosha walked out barefoot in a bathrobe, using a large white towel to wipe her wet hair.

She walked straight to the sofa opposite Lu Chen and sat down.

She crossed her legs and casually draped the towel over the armrest.

She pulled a lady's cigarette from the side table, lit it, and took a puff.

Her eyes seemed to still carry a hint of haziness.

"What's wrong? In such a rush to make an appointment with me."

After taking two puffs of the cigarette, Luosha seemed to perk up a little.

Her cold voice seemed to carry a hint of tenderness.

"I do indeed have something to discuss with Miss Luosha."

Lu Chen gulped, swallowing his saliva, and crossed his legs.

He reached out, took a cigarette from Luosha's cigarette case, and lit it.

After several seconds passed, he tried his best to maintain a calm tone.

"Hehehe..."

Watching Lu Chen's performance, the corners of Luosha's mouth curled up slightly, as if she couldn't hide it at all.

She leaned back against the backrest and took a puff of the cigarette.

"Speak, what is it?"

She grabbed her still-damp hair and wound it around her fingers several times.

"I'm short on money, financier."

Lu Chen leaned back against the sofa, his gaze not lingering on Luosha, but instead looking at "Sorrow Increases 37.5 Degrees."

His brows furrowed slightly; could it be that Luosha didn't know its secret?

"What a buzzkill, won't you look at me?"

Luosha glanced at Lu Chen; the haziness in her eyes vanished, replaced by a flash of sharpness.

A voice even more tender than before seemed to ring in Lu Chen's ear.

It instantly gave Lu Chen goosebumps.

Even his crossed legs stopped swaying.

The fingers that had been lightly tapping the armrest on the side of the sofa also paused.

After several seconds, Lu Chen swallowed his saliva and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Miss Luosha, if you are going to be like this, then our conversation today can end here."

"I will add 200 million pounds to the investment."

Luosha nodded slightly as she watched Lu Chen's reaction, her voice returning to its cold tone; she stubbed out the cigarette and stood up.

"We have an appointment for 3 hours today; Mr. Lu can think about what we are going to do in a moment. Of course, you can also come in. Hehehe..."

After saying that, she walked straight toward the bedroom.

The door closed slightly, but it was not locked.

Lu Chen looked at Luosha's back and finally let out a sigh of relief.

He adjusted his sitting posture; after all, sitting just now had been truly uncomfortable.

It would be even better if he could take a cold shower.

However, he still took out a new pack of 555s and lit one for himself.

Yeah, Lu Chen really wasn't used to smoking lady's cigarettes.

After quite a while, Luosha came out having changed into a red dress, only unlike her bare legs from before, she was now wearing a pair of sheer stockings.

And unlike the previous red high heels, she had changed into black red-bottomed high heels with even higher heels.

After sitting opposite Lu Chen, she lit another cigarette.

"I drank too much at noon, and I'm still a bit dizzy now."

She crossed her legs, the high heel dangling from Luosha's foot, swaying slightly.

Her body leaned against the sofa backrest in a more relaxed posture.

"It seems Miss Luosha's butler doesn't care about you enough."

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers tapping the armrest unconsciously.

"Old Hou has too many things to do; usually, there are only a few maids serving me."

Luosha glanced at Lu Chen and tapped the sofa with her finger.

"Alright, my Mr. Lu, you can tell me what problem you've encountered."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment and looked at Luosha in surprise.

His fingers paused slightly.

"The company's cash flow isn't enough, and that 100 million pounds of yours can't be touched, so isn't that why I've come to borrow money from you?"

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and his tone became even steadier, though his hoarse voice still made Luosha frown.

"Based on my understanding of you, you shouldn't be short on cash flow, right?"

Luosha stopped swinging her crossed legs, her cold voice carrying a hint of surprise.

"Is investing in Nitan really that expensive? Didn't you sign shareholding contracts with them?"

"The big landlords are naturally more willing to sign shareholding contracts, but recently about 10 small landlords have chosen to sell their land directly."

Lu Chen sighed slightly and took a puff of his cigarette.

"According to the previous plan, the initial investment was naturally enough, but now it isn't, and the shortfall is even quite significant."

"Is an additional investment of 200 million pounds enough?"

After smoking a cigarette in silence, Luosha finally looked up at Lu Chen.

"This 200 million will come from my own account and won't go through Elder Hou's side."

"This money might not be paid back for a long time."

Lu Chen looked at Luosha in surprise, and after a long while, he finally spoke.

"If you are interested in transforming Nitan, I can give you 10% of the personal shares."

"You can hold this 10% of shares on my behalf; I won't touch any personal shares, but that offshore company just needs to be separated."

After Luosha was silent for a good while, she glanced at the wooden door and then spoke softly.

Lu Chen did not answer, but nodded slightly.

"I will place the company and the seal in a safe at the United Neutral Bank."

After the two chatted for a while longer, Luosha took Lu Chen's arm and walked out of the living room.

This made the maid waiting outside drop her jaw in surprise.

"Mother Wu, notify them to prepare dinner; it doesn't need to be too complicated."

Luosha gave the order in her cold voice.

She turned her head and glanced at Lu Chen.

"There's a golf course over there; would you like to go hit a few balls?"

"Sure, but is the golf course yours?"

There was a hint of surprise in Lu Chen's eyes.

"It's just a property under my name."

There was no fluctuation in Luosha's tone.

Lu Chen looked past Luosha's shoulder and saw Elder Hou, who seemed to be among the flowers and trees.

He walked quickly toward them.

"Miss, Mr. Lu, the golf course has been cleared; you may go over at any time."

Steward Hou bowed slightly, and when he looked up, he took a deep look at Lu Chen.

His eyes seemed to carry a hint of surprise and confusion.

But his tone was filled with deep respect.

"Mm, sorry to trouble you, Elder Hou. Mr. Lu, you go ahead first; I'll be there shortly."

Luosha let go of Lu Chen's arm and spoke softly.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and walked toward the golf course under the guidance of a servant.

Looking back, Luosha seemed to be saying something to Elder Hou.
