Billionaire's Stubborn Slave Wife novel Chapter 166

The next night, Lauren put on the dress that Matthew had prepared, but in order to give Matthew a big surprise, Lauren deliberately put on an ankle-length coat outside.

"Miss, the young master went directly to the site of the reception, but has sent a driver to wait for you at the entrance."

Lauren nodded, grabbed her bag from her side, pulled her coat over her and sat in the car.

"Stop in front, I need to go shopping."

When the car drove to the mall, Lauren asked the driver to stop the car. Knowing Lauren's position in Matthew's heart, the driver did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly pulled the car over to the curb.

"Miss, what do you need, I can go get it for you."

The driver's attitude made Lauren's mood better.

"Thank you, but this is something that I will have to buy myself. You wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Lauren opened the car door. Walked into the mall, and a moment later returned to the car with one thing in his hand.

For fear that the driver would see what she bought, Lauren put the items inside her bag.

"Drive on, or it will be too late."

The driver hurriedly started the car and drove towards the reception site.

"What took you so long to get here? Why do you need to drape a dress so long."

Matthew, who had been waiting for Lauren in the hall for a long time, had a somewhat impatient expression on his face. When he saw the coat on Lauren, the expression on his face turned even harder.

"Matthew, you are the host of the reception, you must have a lot of things to deal with, you don't need to pay attention to me. Go take care of things first, I will wait here for the start of the reception, didn't you say that you would make me the focus of the reception? I put on my coat, of course I don't want to expose my dress in advance, huh?"

Matthew nodded and didn't take Lauren's words to heart because there was really too much going on and he needed to have a lot of things to deal with.

"Okay, you wait here well, and remember, don't cause me any trouble or I won't let you off the hook."

Matthew handed another woman around to stay by Lauren's side before he left in peace.

Lauren swept a glance at the woman Matthew left behind and found that unlike the other women around Matthew, her face was very calm and free of any flirtation. Instead, she was pure like a college student.

"Are you new to the company?"

Lauren asked the woman tentatively.

The corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly, revealing a light smile that was just right.

"Miss. Li, it's nice to meet you, I am indeed new to the company for a short time, thanks to Matthew's respect for me, so I have a job in the company that I can make a living. I hope I can learn more from you."

As soon as the woman spoke, Lauren could already hear that this woman was the same woman who answered the phone yesterday.

"Miss, if I'm not wrong, you and Matthew are definitely not new acquaintances, you can go so far as to directly call each other by their first names, which is proof enough that you and he have a deep friendship."

The woman nodded gently, still with a bemused smile on her face.

"Miss. Li is indeed a smart woman, yes, Matthew and I have indeed known each other for a long time, only the other day was the second time we met, but I believe there will be many times to deal with Miss. Li in the future, I hope I can be taken care of by Miss. Li. But Miss. Li don't call me Miss, you'd better call me Chen Chen, my last name is Wei."

The woman's attitude was very offensive to Lauren.

"And why are you so modest? Being able to get Matthew's esteem is proof that you have something to offer, and Matthew would never keep a loser around."

Lauren stopped paying attention to the woman, took the wine brought up by the waiter and walked to the corner.

"Can you not follow me, I don't have any interest in bodyguards."

Looking at the woman who had been following behind her, the expression on Lauren's face turned a little ugly.

"I'm really sorry, Miss. Li, even if you don't like me to follow you, there is no other way, my master is only Matthew, so for the orders he gave, I must complete them."

The woman's insistent attitude left Lauren speechless, in order not to ruin her plans. She had to let the woman follow her own lead, while she herself pulled her coat tightly.

After about half an hour's time, the reception officially began. After Matthew's short speech, he came to Lauren's face with his long legs.

"Now isn't it time to take your coat off, I want you to come to the dance with me."

Although Matthew didn't notice, but Lauren did, she noticed that the woman's face had a somber expression when Matthew said to go to the dance with himself. Although quickly concealed, but still by the sharp-eyed Lauren catch a right.

"Yes, and I'm a little anxious to show off the gown you've so carefully prepared for me."

Lauren pulled Matthew and made her way to the middle of the dance floor.

For the two to appear together, people attending the reception have long been talking, especially Lauren's dress, which has become the object of discussion in their mouths.

"Miss. Li, you don't have the guts to show off your figure because your body hasn't recovered yet, do you?"

One of the rich kids who had courted Lauren, how could he miss this rare opportunity? With the strength of alcohol, he came in front of Lauren and Matthew. With a mocking face, he looked at Lauren.

Lauren not only did not have any anger, but instead painted a delicate little face, showing a sweet smile.

"Do you think MatthewCEO Yin would have brought me to the reception today if my body hadn't recovered? It's a joke, don't look at me with your triangle eyes, I'll feel sick."

Lauren's undisguised contempt made the rich kid's face instantly turn ugly.
