Chapter 461: Her Stunning Beauty, His Surprise (7)

The rose was as gorgeous as Shen Nian at that moment.

No, in Lu Cheng’s heart, Shen Nian was clearly even more stunning than that rose!

And the way Shen Nian looked at him now, a rose held between her teeth, was, in Lu Cheng’s eyes, the absolute height of seduction. It made his heart start to pound wildly in his chest.

"Wow!"

The people around them cried out in surprise when they saw the rose that had appeared out of thin air in Shen Nian’s mouth.

Although Shen Nian had already wowed them plenty during her performance on stage, this was different!

Before, when Shen Nian was on stage, there was some distance between her and the audience. It was understandable that they couldn’t see how she performed her magic tricks.

But now, Shen Nian was right beside them! And yet, they hadn’t seen at all how that rose in her mouth had appeared!

This was just too amazing!

Shen Nian paid no mind to the audience’s reaction. At this moment, her eyes were only for Lu Cheng, who stood before her.

Reaching up, she took the rose from her mouth. Holding it in one hand, she placed her other hand behind her back and bowed slightly, making the gesture of a gentleman presenting a flower.

Originally, Shen Nian had wanted to present the rose to Lu Cheng directly from her mouth. But this was a company gala, after all. Even if Lu Cheng could accept it, she had to consider whether the rest of the audience could.

So, she had altered her plan slightly. But even so, Shen Nian’s action greatly surprised the surrounding audience. Even for those who knew about Lu Cheng and Shen Nian’s relationship, such a public display of affection was still quite astonishing for this day and age!

Lu Cheng looked at Shen Nian. He didn’t let her hold the pose for long before taking the rose from her hand, accepting both the flower and her public display of affection.

Shen Nian had told him before that her performance at the gala would have a surprise for him, but Lu Cheng had never imagined the surprise she had prepared would be something like this!

It was truly a surprise—a wonderful surprise!

Once Lu Cheng accepted the rose, Shen Nian broke into a smile before turning to return to the stage.

Shen Nian had even put on a little light makeup for today’s performance. Already a natural beauty, her smile as she turned just now had not only stunned Lu Cheng, but dazzled many others in the audience as well.

The result of this dazzling display was that the audience now looked at Lu Cheng with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hate!

Why was it that someone like Mr. Lu, who had no idea how to get along with women, let alone win their favor, had managed to marry such a wife!

Meanwhile, the family members from the residential compound who saw Shen Nian’s performance were all thrilled. One of their own was in no way inferior to those girls from the entertainment department! This time, Shen Nian had truly done them proud!

Back on stage, Shen Nian took a perfect final bow, concluding her performance and leaving the stage.

Immediately following Shen Nian’s act was Meng Sijia’s grand finale performance.

In order to completely crush Shen Nian at the gala, Meng Sijia had been rehearsing tirelessly right up until the event began. The result of her final rehearsal had left her extremely satisfied, as she had even surpassed her previous personal best.

However, even though Meng Sijia’s performance surpassed the level of any of her rehearsals, and even though she displayed absolutely perfect dance steps...

...the audience’s minds, alas, were still captivated by the previous, spectacular act.

Many people in the crowd weren’t even in the mood to watch the stage, and were instead busy discussing Shen Nian’s performance among themselves.

On stage, Meng Sijia had been completely engrossed in her own performance. It was only when she struck her final pose, ready to receive the thunderous applause she was expecting, that Meng Sijia realized the reality of the situation did not match her expectations at all.
