After more than two hours of dirty, dirty, and what's more...
The luxury train finally arrived at its destination, London.
After Gu Ran took Sophie off the car, they took a taxi directly to London's most famous Westfield shopping mall.
This is the largest urban shopping mall in Europe, with more than 40 of the world's top luxury brands.
When Sophie followed Gu Ran into the shopping hall, her eyes were completely insufficient.
In comparison, the mall in Southampton is really a country shop.
Gu Ran bought Sophie a rather classical evening gown, a set of matching shoes and hats, and even a set of very mature bras and garters...
In short, today I have to compensate Sophie and repay her!
Sophie looked at the prices of the dress, shoes and hats, and her mouth was wide open in shock.
After buying all sorts of things, Gu Ran casually swiped his card to pay - a total of 17,000 pounds.
Sophie was carrying a lot of bags, her face flushed as she said, "Gu, return them. They are too expensive."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Sophie, you deserve it - really."
Sophie alone contributed 6 of the 10 talent points! What's wrong with spending some money? She's been raped so many times, can't she enjoy herself?
Sophie's lips trembled uncontrollably, her heart was beating wildly, and she was almost unable to control herself.
She originally thought that Gu Ran was not good at picking up girls.
Now she realized that she was totally wrong.
This is the highest level of picking up girls!
All that talk of caring about others' well-being is just flashy and low-level tricks.
Paying by credit card is the fatal blow!
17,000 pounds, just spent it like that, without Gu Ran even blinking an eye!
Ask, you deserve it!
I ask, which girl can resist this kind of girl-chasing method? Gu Ran waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat the best Chinese food in London! After eating, we'll go to the best hotel!"
"Well..." Sophie's face flushed, and she said softly, "Today... I will follow your arrangements."
"Walk!"
Gu Ran took Sophie to a Sichuan restaurant called "Koi".
Gu Ran ordered a signature dish, grilled koi fish, a classic dish of blood curd, a dish of boiled pork slices, and two servings of rice.
Sophie picked up the chopsticks and tasted the boiled pork slices. "Ahhh, so spicy!"
Gu Ran said quickly: "Hurry up and eat some grilled koi fish to calm you down!"
Sophie took a bite of the grilled koi fish and said, "Ahhhh, it's so numb!"
Gu Ran quickly said, "Hurry up and eat some Maoxuewang to calm down!"
Sophie picked up the spoon and started to drink.
Gu Ran grabbed Sophie and said, "Don't... this dish is not for drinking soup."
Sophie grabbed a piece of beef tripe and stuffed it directly into her mouth. Tears immediately flowed out - it was spicy, numbing and hot! "Gu...what is this you ordered? Hiss, ha, how can I eat this?"
"This is your first time eating such spicy food. Of course you won't be used to it at first, but this kind of spiciness will definitely make you more and more addicted."
"Really?" Sophie asked doubtfully.
"Of course!" Gu Ran picked up the rice and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Spicy meat with rice...so delicious! Sophie hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to try it again.
Although it was still very spicy, it was just as Gu Ran said, the more you eat it, the more delicious it tastes! "What is this? It's so chewy when you chew it." Sophie asked curiously, holding a piece of greasy pig intestine with chopsticks.
Gu Ran asked, "Do you like it?"
"Yeah, I like it very much." Sophie dipped the pig intestines in Sprite, put them in her mouth and started eating them with a crunch.
Gu Ran picked out all the pig intestines and piled them into Sophie's bowl. "If you like it, eat more. I'll give it all to you."
Sophie blushed, "Thank you. Gu... Actually, you are quite nice. I used to think you didn't care about others, but now it seems that you really care about others. By the way, what is this thing called?"
Sophie said as she picked up another piece of pig intestine and started to chew it. "…It smells so good!"
Sophie said coquettishly, "It's annoying. It's just a dish, but you're being so mysterious about it, as if you're giving me a surprise."
I'm not afraid of giving you a surprise, I'm afraid of giving you "morning sickness"...
Gu Ran continued to pick up pig intestines for Sophie, "If you like it, eat more."
After dinner, Gu Ran took Sophie for a walk along the famous Thames River.
After strolling for an hour, it was already getting late.
Sophie bit her lip and whispered, "Gu, we should... go to the hotel."
"Um."
Gu Ran took out his cell phone - at this time, the first leg of the semi-final between Real Madrid and Barcelona should have been over.
really!
Bank text message alert, 145,000 pounds has arrived! Haha, so cool! Andrew must be pulling out all the hair on his head now, right? Gu Ran put away his phone, raised his hand to hail a taxi, and after getting in the car, he said to the driver directly: "Go to the Ritz Hotel."
The Ritz Hotel is the most expensive hotel in London. It is one of the few commercial buildings in London with a French castle-style arcade. It is also the first hotel certified by the British royal family.
The Ritz Hotel is also a favorite place for upper-class people, celebrities and wealthy people.
Of course, as the most luxurious hotel in London, the cheapest single room here costs 439 pounds for one night.
The top-notch luxurious royal suite, which is the favorite of big stars, costs 8,800 pounds a night - and the royal suite is not for anyone with money. You need to have a certain social status to be able to make a reservation.
Staying in the royal suite that costs 8,800 pounds a night is naturally impossible, but staying in an ordinary room that costs one or two thousand pounds a night is something that Gu Ran doesn't even need to blink an eye.
Staying in such a top hotel is not entirely for the purpose of splurging.
Gu Ran wanted to use this royal luxury to let Sophie experience the high status of the character "Sansa".
Of course, there is another reason...
This is the favorite place for big stars. If you run into a big star here, wouldn't you have a chance to get some star skills or even talent points? As soon as the taxi stopped, a handsome doorman in a red uniform opened the door very professionally and stretched out his hand to cover the roof for Sophie.
"Thank you." Sophie thanked him quickly.
The doorman politely took Sophie's suitcase and shopping bags of various sizes and led Gu Ran and Sophie into the hotel lobby.
The Ritz Hotel is truly a royal hotel. Not only is its lobby magnificent, but every detail exudes nobility and elegance.
The lobby was quiet, with only a few women in low-cut dresses glancing at Gu Ran intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Ran unconsciously straightened his chest and raised his head - we can't embarrass us Chinese!
Sophie seemed very nervous.
This was her first time visiting such a top-notch luxury hotel.
Tonight, Gu Ran took her through many first times...
"Gu, this place is so expensive, why don't we go to a more ordinary hotel?"
Gu Ran smiled, "Sophie, I just want to give you the best - you deserve it."
Sophie's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but want to lean on Gu Ran.
"Good evening, miss. Good evening, sir."
A lobby manager with a butler's beard came up to us with a smile and said in a pure London accent: "Welcome to the Ritz Hotel. How can I help you?"
"We're going to stay here for one night. Is there a quieter room?"
"Yes, sir. We have rooms right next to the royal gardens, but..."
The lobby manager looked at Gu Ran, then said with a standard professional smile: "The price is a bit expensive, 1888 pounds a night."
Although there was no overt discrimination in the lobby manager's expression and tone, the arrogance ingrained in his bones could still be felt.
Sophie pulled Gu Ran's clothes and said, "Gu, why don't we go."
Gu Ran smiled maturely and calmly, took out his bank card and threw it to the lobby manager, "Two rooms, please!"
