Chapter 440: Chapter 333: Electric Current and Heartbeat (3000 words, please subscribe)

“Mr. Chu, you truly are a very special person. You’re different from those men who appear gentle and refined on the surface but harbor a desire to devour others in secret. I can’t see any ambition or scheming in you; it’s as if… nothing in this world can attract your interest.”

“Chu, you’re the first oriental man to whom I’ve taken a liking!”

At 7:45 p.m., The Bund Sightseeing Platform, the most renowned in the magic city, was alight with a colorful display on the opposite bank of the river, where patterns constantly changed. A historical light show made up of countless lights, depicting the history of Hua Country, was dazzling all who witnessed it with its resplendent civilization.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Princess Mina, Chu Mo and she watched the spectacle, forgetting the cold night breeze as entranced by the performance before them.

When the lights above formed the silhouette of a woman with golden hair and blue eyes, Chu Mo turned slightly and nodded towards Fan Gao not far away. Subsequently, a tall man holding an exquisitely beautiful necklace walked toward them.

Taking the necklace worth two hundred million US dollars from the bodyguard captain’s hand, Chu Mo stood up and strolled to Princess Mina’s side. Then, under the princess’s mildly surprised gaze, he gently lifted her hair, which exuded a delicate fragrance, and clasped the necklace—set with transparent diamonds—around her snow-white, graceful neck. After stepping back two paces, he said with a beaming smile,

...

“Your Highness, you are absolutely the most beautiful princess in the world!”

As Chu Mo’s words fell, countless buildings on the opposite bank of the river suddenly lit up brilliantly, the dazzling light seeming to illuminate the entire sky.

Among cheers from innumerable tourists at The Bund, the enchanting Wei’er Mina blushed slightly, her sapphire-blue eyes filled with surprise.

Glancing down at the precious diamond necklace on her neck, she found it matched perfectly with her V-neck dress. Her delicate collarbones and jade-like skin made the entire necklace even more radiant.

As the light performance in front of them reached a climax, with countless lights shining up into the sky, Princess Mina, feeling extraordinarily joyful about the valuable gift she received, said with a smiling face:

“Chu, this is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. Besides the lover’s brooch my grandmother gave me on my eighteenth birthday, this is my favorite present!”

Princess Mina’s grandmother was none other than the Queen of Britain, and a lover’s brooch personally given by the Queen on her eighteenth birthday obviously carried extraordinary significance.

The two hundred million US dollar necklace that Chu Mo gave her was her second favorite gift received, clearly showing how much she cherished it.

Of course, a gift of two hundred million US dollars, equivalent to twelve billion RMB, could bankrupt an ordinary billionaire and even top billionaires worth tens of billions would feel the strain.

To give such a gift, one must have a net worth of at least a hundred billion, otherwise, they wouldn’t be worthy of such an aristocratic necklace.

The reason Chu Mo decided to give her such an extravagant gift was that he was about to engage in a partnership with the jewelry queen worth hundreds of billions.

More importantly, he needed to ensure protection against the meddling of the eight great families again, so it was imperative to establish a firmer friendship with the princess.

He couldn’t allow the cooperation to be easily disrupted by a small advantage offered by the eight families, which is why he chose such a scene and such a grand gesture for giving the gift.

Otherwise, the necklace was intended for his own future other half.

Of course, if he successfully entered the jewelry industry and became a top jeweler, there won’t be a shortage of treasures of this caliber in his hands.

The present sacrifice could be seen as an investment for the future.

“Your Highness, the night breeze here is somewhat chilly, and it’s not suitable to stay for long. If you catch a cold, I wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility. Let’s go to the next place!”

Chu Mo said with a cheerful smile. As the light performance behind him neared its end, Princess Mina, clad in luxurious attire and looking every bit like an exquisite doll, promptly nodded. The way her starry eyes admired Chu Mo’s handsome face, and the smile on her lips seemed to express a certain admiration.

“I’m content to follow Mr. Chu’s arrangements for the evening.”

Chu Mo turned his head and looked towards Fan Gao not far beside him. The tall bodyguard immediately got the hint, and with Fan Gao’s gesture, several dozen bodyguards who were hidden around appeared and circled the area on alert.

As the surrounding tourists were captivated by the final moments of the light show, Chu Mo and the golden-haired lady took their leave together.

In a moment, a stretch Lincoln and Mercedes-Maybach pulled up in front of them simultaneously.

Naturally, the stretch Lincoln in front belonged to Wei’er Mina, and the brand-new Mercedes-Maybach behind it had been picked up by Chu Mo just the day before yesterday.

During his trip to Hong Kong a week ago, the Maybach used by the Long family for guest transport had made a profound impression on Chu Mo. After experiencing its vast space and absolute privacy, the first thing Chu Mo did upon returning to the city was to replace his Rolls-Royce Phantom with this car.

Surrounding bodyguards—including several white bodyguards brought by Princess Mina and the dozen or so black-clad bodyguards led by Fan Gao—performed their duties impeccably. More than a dozen luxury cars, each worth over ten million, were lined up in a long procession.

Chu Mo opened the door to the stretch Lincoln for Mina with gentlemanly grace. As he was about to turn towards the Maybach behind him, the golden-haired lady seated in the Lincoln’s cabin said with a smile,

“Mr. Chu, why don’t we go together?”

Chu Mo, who was already turning to leave, halted his steps. He glanced at the refined lady before him, smiled slightly, then turned to his bodyguard captain Fan Gao and instructed,

“Go to the Longevity Club, and have Yang Xuan arrange the reception as soon as possible.”

As the other person nodded, Chu Mo got straight into the stretched Lincoln limousine.

Compared to Chu Mo’s six-meter-long Maybach, this eight-meter-long stretched Lincoln seemed even more luxurious, with a mini-fridge, television, sofa, and even an independent bathroom inside. Its opulence was simply on par with a motorhome.

Two red cars led the way in front, and once the vehicle was smoothly driving, Princess Mina took out a bottle of vintage red wine from the liquor cabinet, and after personally pouring some for Chu Mo, she gently raised her glass and said,

“Tonight has truly left me with a wonderfully unforgettable memory, Mr. Chu. Working with you has been my most relaxed and burden-free partnership.

I see that you, Mr. Chu, are shivering a bit too. Have some red wine to warm up, and taste this 1907 Heidsieck. It was specially ordered by Nicholas II of the Mao Country’s royal family at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1916, the ship carrying this wine sank, but the wreckage was found in 1997. Each bottle was sold for 295,000 US dollars.

Only a very few people know what a century at the bottom of the sea adds to the taste of wine. Cheers!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo gently swirled the wine in his goblet.

The most expensive wine he had drunk before cost one million RMB, and this century-aged bottle, valued at nearly two million RMB, would likely never pass his lips if not for Princess Mina in front of him!

He clinked glasses with the blonde woman across from him and then lifted the goblet to taste the wine gently. The rich and profound flavor swept across his mouth. Instead of swallowing it hastily, he savored it quietly in his mouth. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and with a smile, he said,

“Indeed, it’s worthy of being a century-aged wine. If Princess Mina has more, I’d like to buy a few bottles.”

This top-tier wine, like Spirit Rhyme Tea, was not something one could simply buy with money. It belonged to the realm of drinking one less bottle, one less in the world.

The elegant and dignified blonde in front of him smiled, her eyebrows slightly raised as she said,

“If anyone else said that, I would surely throw them out of the car. But since Mr. Chu has spoken, I will have to part with them reluctantly.

There are only ninety-nine bottles of Heidsieck in total, and most have been drunk over the years. The one we are enjoying now is probably one of the last ten. When this bottle is finished, there will only be nine bottles of Heidsieck left in the world!

I still have five treasures at home. Normally, I only open one to celebrate contracts worth over a billion. However, since Mr. Chu has spoken, I naturally can’t let you be disappointed.

Here is what we’ll do—when I go back, I’ll have someone send two bottles to Mr. Chu. You must savor them well, for this wine becomes more valuable the less there is. Just a while ago, a tycoon from Milan wanted to buy a bottle from me for four hundred thousand US dollars and was refused!

When there’s only one bottle left in the world, even if it’s sold for one million US dollars, there will be many who’d want to buy it.”

Chu Mo naturally understood the principle that the rarer something is in the world, the more valuable it is.

This Heidsieck wine, now only nine bottles remain in the world. With each one drunk, the rest grew more valuable, and when the last one is left, it likely won’t be purchasable even for a million US dollars.

In the luxurious limousine, the two quietly savored the two-million-dollar top-tier wine. Chu Mo gently swirled the wine in his glass, his eyes continuously sweeping over the blonde lady beside him.

Her deep V-neck evening gown, accompanied by a necklace worth two hundred million US dollars, made her appear even more nobly graceful. At that moment, Chu Mo suddenly felt as if the necklace was custom-made for the princess before him. The entire world, only the elegant and noble Princess Mina, could master the luxury of such a necklace.

Sparkling crystal earrings dangled from her translucent earlobes, complementing the diamond necklace’s shine under the car’s rooftop lights.

With the addition of a peacock brooch on her chest and diamond crystal shoes, each worth a hundred million US dollars, the blonde lady’s attire totaled four hundred million US dollars!

That equaled a staggering 2.4 billion RMB!

Of course, if worn by another woman, adorning oneself with so much jewelry might seem vulgar. But the princess, exuding nobility and elegance, surely wouldn’t evoke vulgarity and instead would inspire genuine amazement.

“Mr. Chu, thank you for the coat!”

The air conditioning in the Lincoln limousine was strong. It took only a moment for the warm air to dispel the chill from their bodies. When Princess Mina returned Chu Mo’s coat to him, his fingers accidentally brushed against her tender, soft hands. Coincidentally, a static shock flashed between their fingertips, and that electric surge swept through both of their bodies!

In an instant, they both shuddered slightly.

Then, with her beauty that could overthrow states, the blonde lady said with a smile,

“Chu, it seems we really have a spark between us!

Ha ha ha…!”

The sound of her laughter, clear as a heavenly melody, made Chu Mo’s heartbeat quicken just a bit!
