Chapter 43
Li Mubai and Li Qingyao had dined, after which Li Muabi sent her back and returned back to his own villa in the Yunyin mountains.
As Li Mubai had to be present in a social gathering tonight, he changed into a formal set of clothes.
Although he had already put the Protagonist Ye Xuan to death, the original plotline of this world hasn't been altered.
As he knew the plotline in advance, he couldn't afford to ignore his big wins.
For instance, in the social gathering tonight, an auction would take place in Jinghai where a very good destructive sword would be auctioned.
In the original novel, the destructive sword was told to turn a mortal with an ordinary body into an unrivaled existence!
The name of the sword alone would make one tremble in fear for eternity as even the remnant of the sword had the ability to slay a God!
So, it was natural for Li Mubai to collect and put the destructive sword into his pocket...

"Young Master!"
After Li Mubai had arrived back at the villa, Xia He and Dong Xue in the living room made a welcoming gesture.
Xiao Qingcheng, his little ice-cold maid however didn't come to welcome him which made Li Mubai knit his brows.
It seems like he needed to punish her well when she returns back to the villa.
He'd let her gaze at the nightscape all night long until the dawn.
As he thought to himself, Li Mubai didn't seem to care about her for the time being and made his way towards the closet.
However, just as he passed by the bedroom, he happened to see a snowy silhouette who happened to be none other than Xiao Qingcheng!
She wore a white cheongsam dress that clearly sketched her stature.
Xiao Qingcheng was bending down, arranging the bedsheets. Her back was facing him...
Ahem...
Li Mubai didn't expect her to be doing her job as a maid which caught him a little off-guard.
It seemed like he had misunderstood her.
However, seeing Xiao Qingcheng leaning down, Li Mubai felt the flame spreading to his lower body.
He remembered the afternoon incident of sitting on the carousel when Li Qingyao asked whether or not he was thinking about other women...
Indeed, he was actually thinking about Xiao Qingcheng at that time...
He took a glimpse at his watch.
As he still had ample time left, he made his way into the bedroom.
"Master... Welcome back..."
Xiao Qingcheng turned her head and welcomed him.
After she saw that it was Li Mubai, her pair of slender jade hands tightly gripped the bedsheet...
...
More than an hour later.
Li Mubai wore an expensive slim white suit and was about to drive the Bugatti La Voiture Noire worth more than one hundred million yuan. (TL: $1,56,67,596.00)
For an ordinary person, white suits were difficult to manage as the least bit of carelessness would make one seem out of the place in the social gathering.
However, the suit that Li Mubai now wore, showcased his noble temperament which seemed a bit mysterious yet noble.
It was spotless.
Especially after taking a glimpse of Li Mubai's handsome face, one wouldn't help but get captivated.
When Xiao Qingcheng had finished adjusting Li Mubai's tie, her eyes showed fascination.
She had the same evaluation of Li Mubai as last time. He was extremely handsome. However, he was a bastard, sometimes.
After Li Mubai took his leave, Xiao Qingcheng's eyes turned somewhat deserted. She began to tidy up the bedsheets that were now in a mess.
Although it could be said that Li Mubai was a bastard to her, in this empty villa in the Yunyin Mountain, she had no sense of belonging except Li Mubai.
Only he'd make her heart not feel empty.
If Li Mubai knew what she opined about him, one could reckon that he'd for sure ask, 'Was it just her heart that doesn't feel empty?'
...
At the other end, in Jinghai Ruyi Hotel, there would be a business charity reception tonight.
The hotel owner had already invited many celebrities from the upper echelons of Jinghai.
Not only had he invited celebrities from all walks of life to communicate and negotiate cooperation with each other, but he had also arranged a charity auction.
The hotel owner would auction many items from philanthropists, organizations, and some corporate companies, and all the profits from it would be donated to charity.
A person in an honorable position, after accumulating a lot of wealth, would start to care about their reputation.
So quite a few well-known figures from Jinghai attended the business charity reception.
"Miss, We're sorry. You can't go in without a valid invitation card."
At the entrance of the hotel at this moment, a beautiful woman in professional clothes was stopped.
Crunch-
Li Mubai happened to stop his car at this time.
After handing over the car keys to a Li family secret guard that followed him down from the business car, he asked him to park the car.
Li Mubai then made his way towards the entrance of the hotel.
He then happened to see this beautiful woman dressed in professional clothes stopped.
