What do you want to do?
Perhaps because it was the first time she had been treated like this, Cui Shiwan's breathing unconsciously slowed down, her head tilted back as her face began to heat up.
Xiang Wan leaned down and slowly approached until Cui Shiwan turned her head and pointed her earlobe at her.
Has anyone ever told you that you're cute like this?
The man's breath entered her nostrils, its warmth penetrating her ears and reaching her heart. Cui Shiwan's heart felt as if it had been gently brushed with a feather duster, tickling and uncomfortable, yet she couldn't help but look forward to the next time.
If only he weren't one of the club's employees.
The idea was quickly dismissed by reason.
Cui Shiwan took a deep breath, reached out and pressed her hand against Xiang Wan's chest, and said calmly, "Kevin, you've gone a bit too far."
Xiang Wan sat down beside her, staring into her eyes, and said, half-jokingly, "I think it's never too much to love you."
"You're saying that because you want money, aren't you?"
"If you were money, I'd like to kiss you."
Cui Shiwan smiled, picked up the platter on the table, and gestured for Xiang Wan to have some.
When Vincent saw that Xiang Wan had managed to deal with him so easily, he angrily picked up a rag and began to scrub the glass heavily.
People around turned their attention back to the scene. Perhaps the other person was just being playful. Some people's eyes lit up, and they secretly decided to try it next time.
"Why do you want to do this? Judging from your appearance, you haven't even graduated from university yet, have you? Don't you think this is undignified?"
After chatting with Cui Shiwan for a while and feeling somewhat familiar with each other, she asked all the questions that had been on her mind.
Xiang Wan chuckled and said seriously, "If I weren't here, how would you have run into me? As for matters of dignity, I think you should be more concerned about that than someone like me who would bow down for a pittance."
"In that case, would you be willing to leave here and come work for me?"
"If you mean a lover, I can consider it. As for anything else, forget it. I like the free atmosphere and working hours here."
“Besides,” Xiang Wan asked again, “are you sure you weren’t coming for me in the first place?”
"Yes, so what? No, so what?"
Cui Shiwan's previously familiar attitude was completely different; the hunter's gaze upon his prey was clearly reflected in Xiang Wan's eyes.
The real show is about to begin, but Xiang Wan doesn't intend to take the bait right now.
Anyway, it's her who's in a hurry, not Xiang Wan.
"Then I really have to thank you. My working hours are from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., and I'm paid by the hour. If you want me to do something, I'd be happy to do it during working hours. However, outside of working hours, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm a very principled person."
"Alright, you'll come with me. In addition to the fixed pay for your work hours, I'll give you an extra 100,000 yuan. You'll stay with me for five days. Is that okay?"
"Every night?"
“If you have time during the day, I don’t mind if you follow me around all day.”
Cui Shiwan wasn't joking, which was quite subtle. She was representing the Cui family to discuss the project, yet Xiang Wan was constantly by her side. If it weren't for his status as the illegitimate son of the Lou family, it would be hard to guess what this woman's intentions were.
However, Xiang Wan really enjoys this kind of game.
With a beautiful woman by her side and money to be made, she didn't want to miss out on such a wonderful opportunity.
"Sorry, I only belong to the club during working hours."
Cui Shiwan looked at her steadily, nodded and said, "Alright, this is the address of the hotel I booked. Starting tomorrow, be there at nine o'clock every night, don't be late."
"Let me make it clear beforehand that if anything illegal happens, I will call the police."
“Don’t worry,” Cui Shiwan patted Xiang Wan on the shoulder and assured her, “I’m a respectable businesswoman and I never get involved in dirty business. You can rest assured about that.”
"I will not have any contact with anyone else besides you, and I hope you can understand."
"Understood, it's your duty."
"Also, please make the payment first, and leave a phone number that I can use to reach you."
Cui Shiwan thought for a moment, wrote a string of numbers on a piece of paper, and handed it to Xiang Wan.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
"good!"
Xiang Wan put away the note, led Cui Shiwan to the front desk to pay the bill, and then saw her out.
The night was slightly cool, and the dark curtain of darkness was torn apart by neon lights. Many people who did not go home at night walked listlessly on the streets.
Cui Shiwan didn't bring a driver; she drove herself.
"It's so late, how about I give you a ride?"
Politeness is an essential quality in their line of work, especially when dealing with single, wealthy clients.
Cui Shiwan was surprised for a moment, then nodded in agreement, quickly got out of the car, and sat in the passenger seat.
Xiang Wan told the security guard at the gate what was going on, then got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove off.
It was already midnight, and there were few cars and pedestrians on the road. I happened to see a 24-hour restaurant, with only one or two staff members and customers.
After having some fruit at the club, we weren't full, so Xiangwan suggested we find a quiet restaurant for a late-night snack.
After dropping Cui Shiwan off, it was nearly 3 a.m. At this hour, taking a taxi was clearly impractical, and it was unlikely to be available. So, Xiang Wan sat in the hotel lobby and called Lou Junxuan.
Since he's still awake, picking up her nominal younger brother shouldn't be too difficult, right?
He wanted to control her, but he could never find an excuse. Xiang Wan needed to give him a chance.
"Hello?"
A deep, husky voice came through, making Xiang Wan think she had dialed the wrong number. She couldn't recall ever hearing Lou Junxuan speak to the original owner of this body in such a tone. Could it be a wrong number?
