On the other end of the wireless earphone, the service staff also asked at the same time, “Miss, may I ask if there’s anything you need?”

Jiang Baiwan said, “Hmm, let me think for a moment.”

Think about it? Gu Dongcheng was taken aback, then his gaze at Jiang Baiwan turned playful. He looked at Jiang Baiwan’s pure yet beautiful appearance, and felt that this woman wasn’t as innocent as she appeared to be.

But it’s more convenient this way. Sensible women won’t pester him. They would get what they want, and as long as they have enough money afterwards, they won’t be entangled with him anymore.

Gu Dongcheng considers himself to be generous with money. As long as Jiang Baiwan wasn’t excessive, he was willing to spend a lot of money for a beauty.

……Huh? Where’s the beauty?

Gu Dongcheng recovered from his own thoughts, only to find that Jiang Baiwan had already walked a good distance away. He frowned and quickened his pace to catch up, stopping in front of Jiang Baiwan once more, “Miss Jiang, why did you leave without saying a word?”

The voice on the earphone was clearer now, though there’s still a bit of static. Coincidentally, the staff said something but Jiang Baiwan didn’t hear clearly. “What? What did you say?”

Gu Dongcheng lost a little patience as he stood not far in front of Jiang Baiwan, his eyes unbridled. “Miss Jiang, I just hope to have the pleasure of spending a nice evening with you.”

In the earphone, the staff repeated, “Hello Miss, if you want to book a massage service, we do have different prices and packages. Shall I introduce them to you?”

Jiang Baiwan wasn’t paying any attention to Gu Dongcheng and just answered the staff’s question, “All right.”

So easy to agree? For the first time, doubt rose in Gu Dongcheng’s mind. He stared at Jiang Baiwan but found that there was nothing unusual about her, only that her eyes were drifting.

It doesn’t matter. As long as she agrees.

Gu Dongcheng raised his chin and his eyes revealed a bit of contempt. “Say it, Miss Jiang. Name a price.”

Jiang Baiwan heard the staff in the earphone say to her, “Miss, if we are talking about value for money, the package of 88,888 is still a better deal. What do you think?”

However, Jiang Baiwan didn’t intend to spend so much money. She clenched her teeth, then finally said, “I’ll take 8,888. This number is good and more auspicious.”

Gu Dongcheng listened in stupefaction—— Auspicious? More auspicious? Shouldn’t she make demands at this time? This woman was only asking him for 8,888?

At this time, Gu Dongcheng was already somewhat confused as to whether the Jiang Baiwan in front of him was scheming or not, but it was undeniable that Jiang Baiwan really piqued his curiosity and desire to conquer.

Gu Dongcheng pondered for a while, then took out a black card from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Baiwan. “8,888 is too insulting to you, and it seems to be looking down on me. Miss Jiang, this card is my sincerity. Please take it and swipe as you wish.”

Jiang Baiwan was listening to the staff repeating the appointment information to her, when suddenly a black card appeared in front of her eyes. She finally noticed the person holding the black card—— Why did this person stopped in front of her again?

Gu Dongcheng saw that Jiang Baiwan hadn’t moved for a long time and thought that she was frightened by his extravagance. Gu Dongcheng couldn’t help smiling. He unceremoniously stuffed the black card into Jiang Baiwan’s hand. “Tonight, in the room next to yours. I’ll be waiting.”

With that, Gu Dongcheng left, leaving Jiang Baiwan standing alone while holding the black card, looking as bewildered as she could be.

……The person who followed her all the way, what exactly did he say?

“Miss, your reservation for the 8,888 package massage service has been noted for you. Is there anything else you need?” The staff’s query came from the earphone at the right time. Jiang Baiwan looked down at the black card in her hand and a sudden flash of ingenuity came to her mind.

——Does that man also want to have a massage? Was that why he gave her his card?
 

Although giving people cards at the drop of a hat was somewhat strange, thinking of what kind of world this was…… it’s not impossible for Jiang Baiwan to understand.

Thinking back to when the man was leaving just now, he seemed to have said something about the room next door and the word tonight. He should be instructing her on the location and time, right?

So she hurriedly said to the staff, “Wait a minute, make an appointment for another massage service.”

“Okay Miss, what kind of package would you like to book?” The other party asked politely, but Jiang Baiwan was stumped for a moment.

What kind of package?

Jiang Baiwan lowered her head, flipped over the black card in her hand and examined it again—— He should be a rich person. If she ordered the cheap one, would he think she was being disrespectful?

Upon this thought, Jiang Baiwan vaguely remembered that the man seemed to have also said something like ‘insulting’ just now.

Forget it, book the expensive one!

“The 88,888!” Jiang Baiwan said, “It will be charged to the account of the room next to mine.”

The staff happily repeated the request to Jiang Baiwan, who confirmed, before hanging up the phone. She breathed a sigh of relief—— This wireless earphone doesn’t work very well. It seems that not everything in the resort hotel was good.

Looking at the black card in her hand, Jiang Baiwan felt a little helpless. She had no choice but to turn back to the front desk and give it to the staff there.

The girl at the front desk looked at the bouquet of roses placed in the corner, and then at the black card Jiang Baiwan handed over. The look in her eyes was as weird as it could be—— In this case, it was obvious that someone was chasing this lady. How could she think that someone mistakenly dropped the card?

“I’ll just leave the card here.” Jiang Baiwan didn’t care about the indescribable gaze of the receptionist at all. “You can just have the massage therapist bring it along in the evening.”

Seeing that the receptionist had responded, Jiang Baiwan felt that she had done a good deed of helping others, and smiled brightly along the way. Even when she met Tan Mi at the restaurant, the smile on her face didn’t fade.

“What’s wrong? Did something good happen?” Tan Mi looked at Jiang Baiwan, thinking that she was smiling like a two-hundred-pound child. “Would you like to look in the mirror and see what your smile looks like right now?”

Jiang Baiwan shook her head, pretending to be mysterious. “Do one good deed every day; you won’t understand.”

The two women chatted aimlessly while eating lunch. It was three or four o’clock in the afternoon when Jiang Baiwan slowly waddled back to her room. She saw someone standing at her door from a distance. Jiang Baiwan approached and saw that it was Ji Chen dressed in a bathrobe.

Ji Chen was inexplicably relieved to see Jiang Baiwan coming. “You’re here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

“Why didn’t you call me?” Jiang Baiwan’s eyes couldn’t stop drifting towards Ji Chen’s chest. “Why are you waiting for me?”

Speaking of this, Ji Chen’s expression turned a little ugly. He coughed dryly. “I…… There bathroom system in my room seems to be malfunctioning. Can I borrow yours for a while?”

Jiang Baiwan carefully scrutinized Ji Chen and only then did she realize that there seems to be some unrinsed foam in his hair. Jiang Baiwan quickly took out her room card and opened the door. “Sure, go ahead. You aren’t in the middle of taking a shower when suddenly there’s no water, right?”

Ji Chen followed Jiang Baiwan into the door without making any sound, apparently acquiescing.

This person really wants to save face, preferring to stand at her door and wait for her to return just so no one would notice his awkward appearance.

Thinking of this, Jiang Baiwan’s heart seemed to be touched by something, making it swell up a bit, though it was also kind of funny. Watching Ji Chen quickly walk into the bathroom, Jiang Baiwan stood outside the door and shouted inside, “Feel free to use my things. No need to be polite.”

Ji Chen responded. He raised his head after turning on the shower when a piece of clothing suddenly caught his eyes and he instantly froze.

There was a pink underwear hanging on the drying rack in front of Ji Chen. It was dotted with patterns of jade fragments, just like its owner, full of surging vitality.

……Doesn’t it look a bit small?

Ji Chen jolted back to his senses. He suddenly felt blood rushing to his forehead and his whole body…… burned. Ji Chen turned his head away awkwardly. After realizing what he was thinking just now, even the cool water from the shower could not douse the flame in Ji Chen’s heart.

At this moment, Jiang Baiwan called Ji Chen from outside again, “Ji Chen, the one placed on the left is the shampoo, don’t mistake it.”

Ji Chen answered vaguely. His whole body seems to be on fire now. Despite all the warning in his mind not to think about it, the pink underwear with jade patterns still popped up in his mind from time to time.

The water ran down from the top of his head and snaked around his body, but it didn’t bring any coolness to Ji Chen. The evil fire in his heart grew stronger, and no matter how hard he avoided it, he would always catch a glimpse of that underwear.

……What’s wrong with him?

Ji Chen shut his eyes in embarrassment, unconsciously pressing his heart. He was having great difficulty understanding this unfamiliar feeling—— He had never been disturb like this before. Since childhood, Ji Chen had always been calm and self-controlled.

However, when facing the current Jiang Baiwan, Ji Chen was always easily ruffled by her. And by the time Ji Chen noticed his emotional ups and downs, he had already done all kinds of things.

Ji Chen pursed his lips and exhaled slowly. He suddenly reached out to turn the shower off, then he took a clean bath towel to dry the water on his body, before putting on the bathrobe he had brought with him.

He didn’t know what it was, and Ji Chen didn’t want to find out either at this time.

If possible, let him escape for a while longer.
