Chapter 319 - 312: Dilireba, Did You Eat Garlic?

"What wild thoughts! Dilireba, you’re the one with the overactive imagination! I was perfectly clear that I’m interested in your life story!" Wu Yun said with a straight face.

"Hmph~ I knew you were just trying to sweet-talk me!" Dilireba said with a playful pout.

Her voice went straight to Wu Yun’s head. He smiled. "It’s because we’re friends that I want to get to know you better!"

’This idea had only just occurred to him. Getting to know a rising young starlet on a deeper level could be a fun way to add some excitement to his recently dull life.’

And so, Wu Yun had made Dilireba his next target.

As they drank red wine and enjoyed the fine food, Wu Yun listened to Dilireba recount her life story.

Drawing on information from his system, Wu Yun would chime in at just the right moments, making Dilireba marvel at how well he seemed to know her. She was now completely convinced that he was, as he’d said, genuinely interested in her.

According to the scan from Wu Yun’s glasses, Dilireba’s affinity for him had shot up from 60 to 80.

Wu Yun glanced at Dilireba, who had been inching closer and closer. He could now clearly smell her perfume.

Wu Yun turned his head and his gaze met her large, beautiful eyes.

Their eyes met for a moment before Dilireba couldn’t help but giggle. A faint blush colored her cheeks, and it was hard to tell if it was from the wine or from shyness.

"What are you looking at?"

Wu Yun gently lifted her chin. "I’m looking at a beauty."

At his words, a shiver ran through Dilireba. She slowly closed her eyes, her long lashes fluttering slightly, betraying the storm in her heart.

Wu Yun was no innocent boy. His left arm snaked around her slender waist, his right hand tilted her chin up, and he lowered his head to kiss her.

The kiss was sweet, with just a hint of... garlic.

Wu Yun pulled back, his eyes fixed on Dilireba.

Just as Dilireba was waiting for his next move, she heard his voice right next to her ear. "Did you eat garlic?"

Dilireba’s eyes snapped open. She covered her face with her hands, so embarrassed her toes felt like they were trying to claw through the soles of her shoes.

"I—I only had two cloves!" Dilireba’s face turned bright red.

Wu Yun chuckled. "Garlic is good for you! Kills bacteria and all that. But from now on, don’t eat it when you’re with me."

"Especially when we have... activities planned for the evening," Wu Yun whispered in her ear.

"Mmm..."

"We’re not going home tonight."

...

On the way to the hotel, Dilireba secretly texted Sister Wu, "Sister Wu! I won’t be back tonight. Hee hee~"

She quickly got a reply from Sister Wu: "Stay safe! And don’t get photographed!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."

Sister Wu quickly replied, "Actually, it’s fine if you’re not careful. Better to just get it all done in one go and save yourself the trouble later."

Dilireba sent a few blushing emojis in response, then typed, "Sister Wu, you’re teasing me again!"

While Dilireba was texting Sister Wu, Wei Wu, who was driving, spoke up. "Boss, my other four comrades are arriving in Modu tomorrow. What are the arrangements for them?"

Wu Yun was looking forward to meeting these supposed geniuses Wei Wu had described. After a moment of thought, he said, "Have them come straight to the hotel tomorrow. In the morning. I’ll meet with them, and then in the afternoon, we’ll take them to Nirvana Investment to get them onboarded."

"Didn’t you say there were five men in your team? Why are only four coming over?" Wu Yun asked, recalling their earlier conversation.

Wei Wu said with a hint of regret, "Sickle... oh, you know, the Russian. He got used to living life on the edge. After the team disbanded, he accepted an offer to join Wagner."

"Wagner? The Russian mercenary group?" Wu Yun asked. The name rang a bell; he was very familiar with it. Before his rebirth, Wagner had been active on the Russia-Ukraine Battlefield, and news of their exploits was everywhere.

Wei Wu was surprised. "Boss, you’ve heard of Wagner?"

Wu Yun smiled. "I just recently learned about them. Since the teammates you recommended are private military contractors, I made a point to do a little research."

It didn’t surprise Wei Wu that his boss would do his homework. He continued, "Boss, they’re all on tourist visas."

"Not a problem. We’ll have a professional look into it and see how quickly we can get them work visas."

"Understood. I’ll bring them over tomorrow morning."

The hotel room had already been booked; Wu Yun had told Wang Hao to reserve a presidential suite.

When Wu Yun arrived at the hotel with a heavily disguised Dilireba in tow, a man in his thirties wearing a suit approached them with a smile. "Welcome, Mr. Wu. I am your butler, Sean."

As Sean introduced himself, he carefully observed the expression on the face of Wu Yun, the VIP client he was assigned to.

Wu Yun smiled and nodded. "Sean, just take us to our room for now. There’s nothing else. Oh, and please arrange for a light breakfast tomorrow morning."

Sean nodded quickly in acknowledgment and led the two of them to a private elevator to go upstairs.

Once they were inside the room with the door shut, Dilireba finally took off her hat and mask, her eyes curiously scanning the decor of the presidential suite.

"So this is a presidential suite? It’s my first time staying in one! When I’m filming on location or traveling for work, I usually just stay in standard high-end hotels."

Seeing her curious expression, Wu Yun chuckled. "What’s the rush? Once you get even more famous, you’ll have plenty of chances to experience all kinds of presidential suites."

"Besides, after tonight, you can stay in rooms like this with me whenever you want!"

Wu Yun made no secret of his intentions.

Dilireba understood his hidden meaning perfectly. Feeling the warmth from the suite’s heating, she slowly slipped off her coat, revealing the tight-fitting top and pantyhose she wore underneath. She smiled. "This presidential suite really is different. It’s so warm in here, it makes you want to strip down!"

Dilireba continued, "It’s getting late! I’m going to take a shower."

Watching her graceful figure head toward the bathroom, Wu Yun teased, "Oh! Get yourself nice and clean! And don’t forget to brush your teeth a few extra times."

Dilireba, who had just rounded the coffee table, stumbled. She turned back and shot him a playful glare. "You’re terrible! No more making fun of me!"

Steam filled the bathroom. Dilireba sat in the tub, wearing a shower cap, humming a song as she carefully scrubbed her skin.

The glass door behind her slid open silently. Wu Yun, barefoot, crept up to the side of the tub. He simply stood there, looking down at the hazy silhouette of her delicate body beneath the water.

And so, without ceremony, Wu Yun suddenly popped out in front of her.

"AH—!" A scream echoed through the bathroom. Dilireba immediately crossed her arms over her chest, eyes squeezed shut, squirming in the water.

"Stop screaming! It’s me!" Wu Yun said, patting her cheek, which was flushed red from the steam.

"Young Master Yun! Why did you come in?! Ah, you’re such a pervert!" Dilireba covered her eyes with her hands, but her gaze peeked through the gaps between her fingers, sizing up Wu Yun’s powerful chest, his abs, and his rather firm ’one-eyed monster.’

Wu Yun chuckled. "Well, you were in here for so long, I got worried. I just came in to check on you!"

"And you came in to ’check on me’ without any clothes on?! You really are a pervert!" Dilireba said, but the gaps between her fingers only widened.

Amused by her self-deceiving charade, Wu Yun stepped one leg into the tub and asked with a grin, "Did you brush your teeth?"

"AHHHH!" Dilireba shrieked, splashing water at him in a frenzy. "Don’t say it! Say it again and I’ll bite you!"

Wu Yun settled completely into the tub, causing the already full bath to overflow. Water sloshed over the side, running down the slanted floor and into the drain.

Wu Yun’s hand first went exploring under the water, making Dilireba snatch her feet back.

Resting his arm comfortably on the edge of the tub, he looked at Dilireba, who looked like a startled bunny. Recalling her brave words from just a moment ago, he made a taunting gesture that would become famous in a later era and said, "Come and get me!"

"Argh! You’ve made me so mad! I’ll get you for this!"

First, Wu Yun felt a wave of water splash against him, then Dilireba’s hands were suddenly covering his mouth and nose.
