Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Like Hell I Believe You
Before he left, Wu Yun sent Xu Chenxi a message, telling her he had arrived by car and that she should get ready to come downstairs.
Driving fast, the trip from Shida Garden to the Hilton Garden Inn was only about ten minutes.
Plus, it wasn’t rush hour yet. Wu Yun took advantage of his car’s performance to weave through traffic, drawing a chorus of jealous curses.
The Big Black Bull pulled to a steady stop at the Hilton’s entrance, and Wu Yun dialed Xu Chenxi’s number.
Xu Chenxi’s gentle voice came from the other end. "Young Master Wu, you’re here? You’re at the entrance? I’ll be right out!"
A moment later, due to his low vantage point, the first thing Wu Yun saw was a pair of long, fair legs walking over.
Then, Xu Chenxi ran into an awkward problem: the car was so low she couldn’t find the Lamborghini’s door handle.
"Young Master Wu, where’s the handle?" Xu Chenxi asked, her face flushing slightly.
Wu Yun was understanding. After all, the door handles on some cars were indeed unconventional.
Like the interior door-closing mechanism on a Rolls-Royce. There’s a recessed groove by the window that you have to hook with your finger. If you don’t notice it, you’ll never find it. People who don’t know better will just keep pulling on the handle that opens the door. Wu Yun had experienced that same embarrassment himself in his past life.
"Feel underneath this part here, there’s a handle! Just pull, and it’ll open!" Wu Yun said, pointing to the spot.
Xu Chenxi pulled open the Big Black Bull’s scissor door. Despite the awkwardness, her excellent training showed as she gracefully sat inside first before swiveling her legs in.
THUD!
The door closed. Feeling the cool air from the car’s AC, Xu Chenxi explained with a slight blush, "Young Master Wu, my apologies. That was embarrassing! It’s my first time in the passenger seat of a Lamborghini."
Wu Yun smiled. "It’s nothing. There’s a first time for everything. I couldn’t find the handle at first, either. The salesman had to show me."
Perhaps it was Wu Yun’s relatable comment, but Xu Chenxi seemed to relax.
"So, Young Master Wu, this is what a Lamborghini’s passenger seat is like. You know, some of the little bitches at my old company used to say it gets hot in a supercar’s passenger seat, but it doesn’t seem that way to me!"
Wu Yun got it instantly. He turned to look at Xu Chenxi’s expression; she didn’t seem to be faking her innocence. He grinned and joked, "Maybe the owner deliberately turned off the AC, hoping his passenger would take her clothes off."
As he spoke, Wu Yun’s smile widened into a lecherous grin, and his eyes seemed to gleam as he stared at Xu Chenxi. "How about it? Should I turn off the AC too? Too bad you’re not wearing much to take off in the first place!"
Like a frightened rabbit, Xu Chenxi clutched her chest. "Don’t! It’s perfectly fine like this!"
Wu Yun didn’t want to push the joke too far. Still, he felt this Xu Chenxi was a high-level player. But as long as she had a weakness, she could be managed.
Seeing that Wu Yun wasn’t going to do anything, Xu Chenxi patted her chest in relief. "You gave me a scare! I really thought you were going to turn off the AC, Young Master Wu!"
With that, she pulled out her phone and said in a gentle, bashful tone, "Young Master Wu, let’s eat here. Shangyan Premium Seafood! I’ve never had such an expensive buffet before! My treat tonight, to celebrate the first day we’ve truly gotten to know each other."
"I already made a reservation. It’s 528 per person! It’s the weekend, so I was lucky to grab the last two spots. And thank you, Young Master Wu, for booking such an expensive hotel for me."
Wu Yun watched as Xu Chenxi’s Affinity score, which had been at 50, shot up to 70 the moment she got in the car.
One of life’s great delusions is thinking, ’He/she likes me.’
But for Wu Yun, it wasn’t a delusion.
Navigation address successfully entered.
"Buckle up!"
Wu Yun glanced at the seatbelt disappearing deep into the ravine of her cleavage, feeling it was under a pressure it shouldn’t have to bear. He ran into this kind of situation often.
’Her bust is every bit as impressive as Wen Meng’s, but unfortunately, her overall proportions aren’t quite as outstanding. She’ll make a nice after-dinner dessert, I guess.’
Wu Yun checked the route on the GPS. It would take about half an hour to get to Crystal Fusion.
He put on one of his favorite playlists via Bluetooth, then started the Big Black Bull and merged into traffic, following the GPS prompts.
Xu Chenxi watched Wu Yun drive one-handed. She found him even more handsome in that moment, but at the same time, she felt a little hesitant.
Earlier, Xu Chenxi had learned that Wu Yun was only eighteen years old!!! Five years her junior. There was a saying that "a wife three years older will bring you gold," but that saying didn’t hold much water in the eyes of rich kids like him.
’My looks and figure are my only competitive advantages,’ she thought, ’but someday, someone new will come along and beat me at my own game.’
’So, even if I can attract Wu Yun now, the moment he gets tired or bored of me will be the moment I have to leave.’
’So I have to seriously consider whether or not I should give up my restored ’purity’ today.’
Xu Chenxi felt a pang of regret. Back in college, she hadn’t been able to resist temptation and had been tricked out of her first time. Even though it was only that once, it still left her feeling insecure.
"Young Master Wu! You’re still a student, what made you think of starting a business?" Xu Chenxi said, trying to make conversation.
Wu Yun kept his eyes on the road. With a slight turn of the wheel, he controlled the Big Black Bull as it overtook another car. "You have to seize the right opportunity when it comes along," he said. "I happened to run into one, so I got the idea to invest and start a company."
Wu Yun’s words were like a wake-up call for Xu Chenxi. ’He’s right,’ she thought. ’All the men I’ve met are older than Wu Yun. The younger ones aren’t as rich, and the ones who might be richer are old enough to be my father! All things considered, Wu Yun is the most exceptional man I’ve ever met. He’s outstanding in both looks and wealth.’
But what Xu Chenxi said aloud was, "Wow! That’s really amazing. If I had your guts back in school, Young Master Wu, I wouldn’t have missed out on so many opportunities!"
Xu Chenxi pressed her hands together, then covered her mouth with one as she giggled. "It looks like I’ll have to learn a lot from you from now on, Young Master Wu. And ask you for tips on how to make money. Being a flight attendant looks glamorous on the surface, but only we know the hardships that come with it."
Throughout the drive, everything Wu Yun said was met with Xu Chenxi’s gentle praise. She would then relate it back to her own experiences, making herself sound naive and inexperienced, curious and eager to learn about everything.
Xu Chenxi’s praise greatly satisfied Wu Yun’s vanity and his desire to lecture, making him feel that in her eyes, his image was lofty and brilliant.
Still, Wu Yun thought, ’A girl like Xu Chenxi must be incredibly popular with men. She can satisfy a man’s pride, his vanity, and even all of his needs. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her the perfect woman.’
Xu Chenxi even asked Wu Yun how many girlfriends he’d had.
Wu Yun’s answer was, "Uh, three in total, I guess."
’If it were a typical girl,’ he thought, ’she’d start grilling me, interrogating me about everything, right down to the color of my ex-girlfriends’ underwear.’
But Xu Chenxi wasn’t like that at all. "Oh, that many! You must have a lot of experience with relationships, Young Master Wu. A man who’s a great conversationalist, a romantic, and rich on top of that... whoever ends up with you in the future will be one lucky girl!"
"Not like me. I only had one boyfriend back in college, and we only ever held hands!"
Wu Yun was instantly jolted back to his senses. ’Damn, this honey trap is potent,’ he thought. ’If it weren’t for the system, I might have actually believed her.’
’Believe you? My ass! A woman’s words are nothing but lies!’
