Chapter 70:
–
This week, two French rich businessmen came specifically to the art gallery to buy paintings. They have an old relationship with Madam Kasa, easy to talk to. They took a liking to three oil paintings and signed the purchase contract that evening.
That rich businessman said, “I remember the art gallery was always handled by your assistant before. When did you hire a new assistant again?”
Madam Kasa raised her eyebrows and said, “Elara is interning with me temporarily. She hasn’t graduated from university yet. The young lady has quite a bit of spiritual energy in her painting, but she still needs to accumulate some experience.”
The rich businessman nodded with a smile, “Anyone praised by Madam Kasa must be pretty good.”
Madam Kasa glanced at the time, “It’s just about mealtime. I’ve booked a restaurant. Let’s all have dinner together. It’s rare for you to come, so let me play the host.”
The rich businessman agreed readily, “Then we won’t stand on ceremony.”
Meng Shuyou rummaged through her bag for her mobile phone, “I’ll call a car now.”
“Mm.” Madam Kasa booked a Michelin three-star restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, on the 55th floor of a private club.
Around seven o’clock, they arrived at the restaurant.
The private room had an elegant and luxurious environment, with the scenic spot offering the best night view.
Dishes cooked from top-grade ingredients, exquisitely plated, with exceptional taste.
In such an occasion, some wine was inevitable. As the atmosphere heated up, Meng Shuyou also had two glasses.
She had poor alcohol tolerance and didn’t dare to drink a third.
Midway, she went out to use the bathroom.
By chance, in the corridor, she ran into Mister Pei. He was standing by the railing talking to someone. His tall and straight figure towered over the people beside him. He looked detached, sparing with words.
Meng Shuyou didn’t disturb him and passed by quietly.
After using the toilet and coming out to wash her hands, she heard movement from the accessible bathroom next door.
Something unknown hit the ground, accompanied by ambiguous male and female moans and gasps.
It wasn’t hard to guess what was going on inside.
Meng Shuyou frowned slightly.
She didn’t understand why some people always liked doing intimate things in public places. Was the hotel bed not comfortable enough, or did they have some special perversion, liking to seek stimulation while smelling the bathroom scent?
She took a tissue to wipe her hands clean and left the bathroom.
As she turned the corner going out, she almost bumped into someone. A tall figure loomed over her.
Before she could react, a strong and powerful arm wrapped around her waist.
A familiar scent filled her nose, and her forehead bumped into his hard chest.
“Mister Pei…”
The man gripped her waist, “Didn’t you see me?”
Meng Shuyou pushed at him but couldn’t push him away, “I saw you. You were talking to someone else.”
“Who did you come out to dinner with?”
“Dining with clients. Madam Kasa is also there.”
At this moment, another sound came from the bathroom, and the door shook lightly from being bumped.
Pei Yuzhou had sharp hearing, “Someone’s inside?”
It looked pretty intense.
Meng Shuyou tugged at his sleeve, “Let’s go.”
Pei Yuzhou stared at her flushed cheeks and chuckled lightly, “They’re not embarrassed, so why are you?”
Meng Shuyou averted her eyes, “Is it not allowed for me to feel embarrassed on behalf of others?”
Pei Yuzhou released his arm and gripped her wrist, walking back.
Meng Shuyou followed at his side, “Mister Pei, where are you taking me?”
Pei Yuzhou ignored her and directly pulled her into an empty private room, closing the door and pressing her against it, lowering his head to kiss her.
Lips and teeth pressed tightly, breaths scorching the skin.
Both had drunk wine, with the lingering sweetness of red wine in their mouths.
Meng Shuyou was used to his domineering actions and tiptoed to respond cooperatively.
Her waist went soft in his arms.
In a gap of panting, his low, husky, magnetic voice brushed past her ear, “Has your period ended?”
Meng Shuyou’s eyes were dazed. After a few seconds, she gave a very soft “mm.”
The kiss moved to her earlobe, sucking it, his Adam’s apple rolling frequently, “Come back with me.”
She pulled back her reason, “No… I need to go back to the private room first…”
Pei Yuzhou bit her once, his hand withdrawing from under her clothes.
Meng Shuyou licked away the moisture on her lips and steadied her breathing.
Her clothes were wrinkled, slightly disheveled.
Five minutes later, she opened the door and went out.
That French rich businessman happened to pass by and saw them coming out of the private room together. His expression was surprised. Before he could think deeply about their relationship, he immediately came forward to greet, “Mr. Kerwin, it’s truly an honor to see you here.”
He had seen him once at the New York finance summit, but unfortunately, there was no chance to talk then.
The rich businessman took a business card from his suit pocket and handed it over with both hands, “I’ve long admired your name. This is my business card. I hope there will be an opportunity to cooperate with your company.”
Pei Yuzhou took the business card and glanced at it. It was the executive president of some real estate company. He had no impression, “Cooperation depends on fate.”
This was already said euphemistically.
“I have other matters, so I’ll go first.”
Before leaving, he said one more thing to Meng Shuyou, “Wait for you in the car.”
The rich businessman didn’t understand Chinese, but clearly, this Miss Elara knew Mr. Kerwin.
Pei Yuzhou walked far away.
The rich businessman looked at Meng Shuyou, “Miss Elara, so you know Mr. Kerwin.”
She gave a default response, not wanting to be questioned about private matters, and changed the topic, “Mr. Henry, I’ll head back to the private room first.”
At eight-thirty, the dinner party ended.
After seeing off the two clients, Madam Kasa said, “Elara, you should also call a car and head back early.”
Before Meng Shuyou could speak, a black business car slowly drove up and stopped in front of the porch.
The car door opened, long legs stepped out of the compartment, and the man got out of the car.
Madam Kasa was quite surprised, “Kerwin, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”
Pei Yuzhou curved his lips slightly, “It’s been a long time.”
“You’re a very busy person. It’s really hard to see you.” Madam Kasa teased, “Are you also having dinner here? Or did you come specifically to pick up Elara?”
Pei Yuzhou said candidly, “Discussing business, picking someone up on the way.”
Madam Kasa waved her hand, “Alright, then hurry and take her away.”
Meng Shuyou couldn’t stand the teasing and felt a bit embarrassed. She said goodbye to her, “Teacher, we’ll head out first then.”
“Mm.”
–
The business car drove steadily across the road.
Pei Yuzhou leaned back in the seat, taking a short nap.
Meng Shuyou looked outside the window. Lights wove like threads, brushing past her face through the glass.
The car window faintly reflected the man’s figure, completely relaxed and casual, yet noble.
Who would have thought, he suddenly opened his eyes, and their gazes met.
Meng Shuyou felt as if scorched by his gaze. Her heart tightened, her palms growing damp.
She hurriedly looked away, her eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.
Unnoticed, the car entered the underground garage.
The driver braked to a stop and spoke to remind, “Sir, Miss, we’re here.”
Meng Shuyou pushed open the car door and walked ahead.
Pei Yuzhou undid his cufflinks. His shirt collar was open, revealing the outline of his chest muscles, firm and bulging.
As soon as they entered the elevator, he pressed the young lady against the compartment and kissed her fiercely.
Meng Shuyou’s back pressed against the cold mirror surface, her waist confined, her lips going numb in waves.
In the mirror, the man’s tall and imposing body completely controlled her.
Her waist was very slim; one palm could cover half of it.
The visual impact from the difference in build was intense.
The elevator went up, “ding—”
The door automatically opened.
Pei Yuzhou didn’t care. His fingertips undid the buttons of her top, his actions not gentle at all. The pearl rhinestone at the collar swayed precariously.
Meng Shuyou felt sorry for the clothes and gasped, “You’ll tear it.”
It was several thousand dollars for one piece, worn only once.
Pei Yuzhou kissed her side neck, “If it’s torn, buy another.”
The top slid to the ground.
Meng Shuyou felt a chill on her body and burrowed into his arms, “Back to the room…”
Desire surged in Pei Yuzhou’s eyes. He scooped her up by the waist and strode out of the elevator.
Entering the bedroom, he kicked the door shut.
Meng Shuyou didn’t even have time to look at the surroundings before she was tossed onto the bed, her body sinking into the soft goose and duck down bedding.
Pei Yuzhou pressed down over her, ruthlessly stripping off all her clothes and tossing them onto the floor.
Meng Shuyou lacked a sense of security and wanted to burrow into the quilt, but her wrists were tightly gripped.
Pei Yuzhou used one knee to part her legs, “What are you hiding for.”
