Chapter 206 – I Don't Buy Things I Don't Understand
The hallway lights shimmered off gold-veined marble floors as Lux walked with the same pace he always did—slow, relaxed, like he had nowhere to be and everything to gain. His blazer hung just right. His collar slightly loosened. Not disheveled—just kissed by chaos. And anyone who passed him gave him space, like they felt something they couldn't name.
Because he wasn't rushing.
No one who owned time ever did.
The soft click of his boots echoed with each step toward the exit of the jewelry exhibition. Air-conditioned breeze brushed past, cold and expensive. The scent of amber, leather, and rich ego lingered in the corridor. Somewhere behind him, the camera smoke still hadn't cleared in Lylith's VIP suite. That kiss hadn't cooled yet.
But he wasn't thinking about that.
Not entirely.
He was already looking ahead.
To her.
Mira Xianlong.
Dragon-blooded heiress.
And currently?
Fuming.
