Chapter 626 - 279: Everyone’s Really Gathered This Time

He never expected that the pair of red high heels he gave her would have such a lingering effect.

’We agreed this was just physical, no strings attached. Why are you getting serious?’

’Was this a case of me succeeding at something I never even tried?’

’A fling turning into true love?’

’Ridiculous!’

However, he had no intention of accepting her love.

Some people, even if you see them again, can only ever be the most familiar of strangers.

So, after hearing her heartfelt confession, Xu Yun wasn’t moved at all. Instead, he calmly said three words.

"I can’t do this."

Wang Yang had anticipated this outcome, but after Xu Yun heartlessly uttered those three words, she couldn’t help but ask, "Why? Is it something about me you don’t like?"

"A moment of happiness doesn’t mean a lifetime of it."

Xu Yun answered honestly, "I’m a man who can’t be tied down. It’s impossible for me to settle down for any one woman. Can you understand that?"

Wang Yang fell silent.

"So the kind of affection you’re looking for... I can’t give it to you, and I won’t."

Xu Yun said placatingly, "As for the good memories between us, let’s just keep them deep in our minds. I’ll be going now."

"Xu Yun!"

Wang Yang stepped forward and suddenly threw her arms around him. "Even if you don’t like me, can you give me one more beautiful memory? Right here, right now."

Xu Yun: "???"

Wang Yang pleaded, "I brought the red high heels you gave me. I want to wear them for you one more time."

Xu Yun was silent.

He looked at her curvy figure, realized he still had a little time, and didn’t cruelly refuse.

However, just to be safe, he immediately went and got another room in the hotel.

’Who knows if she set up a hidden camera in advance, laying a trap for me.’

’The world is a dangerous place, and he had no desire to be the star of the show!’

After waiting patiently in the hotel room for a while, Wang Yang finally came out of the shower.

She had changed into a tight, red micro-mini dress, which she paired with black stockings and a pair of red high heels as she walked out.

She was alluring and sexy.

Seeing this, Xu Yun didn’t say much. He looked into her eyes, which were filled with desire, then stood up, scooped her into his arms, and walked into the bedroom.

One last moment of tenderness.

An hour later, Xu Yun looked at the woman on the bed, gave her a pat on the butt, got up, dressed, and transferred 500,000 yuan to her via WeChat.

Seeing the transfer, Wang Yang said sadly, "I didn’t come looking for you for your money."

"I know, but I don’t like being in anyone’s emotional debt."

Xu Yun smiled. "This 500,000 may not be a lot, but for an ordinary person, it’s not a small amount either.

Didn’t you say you wanted to open a travel agency? This should be enough."

"You do like me, don’t you?"

"No, I just like your body."

Xu Yun looked at her and said seriously, "And the only reason you like me is because I’m rich and romantic—your ideal boyfriend."

"That’s not true."

"Don’t lie to yourself."

Xu Yun continued, "If I were some poor kid with no money, would you have come looking for me over a pair of red high heels?

I’m afraid you wouldn’t have given me the time of day even if I’d given you ten pairs."

"..."

Wang Yang fell silent, listening to Xu Yun’s words.

"And don’t think of it as something to be ashamed of."

Xu Yun said, "I don’t care at all, and you shouldn’t either. If everyone thinks this way, interactions will be much more harmonious in the future."

"I understand."

Wang Yang said with determination, "Xu Yun, I don’t care how many other women you have, and I don’t care if you acknowledge me or not.

From this day on, I’m your woman. I won’t be with any other man but you.

But don’t worry, I won’t cling to you.

Tomorrow, I’ll go back to Guilin, Guangxi. I’ll use the money you gave me to open a small travel agency and wait there. Whenever you think of me, come and visit."

Xu Yun was speechless.

’This woman is so stubborn!’

’What a handful!’

"Anyway, I’ve said what I needed to say. Do as you please."

Xu Yun couldn’t be bothered with her anymore and left, closing the door behind him.

...

「FL Bar」

A "Temporarily Closed" sign hung on the main entrance.

All the promoters had already informed their regular clients that the bar was closed for a private event today.

Even though it was still daytime, none of the bar’s staff were taking a break. They had all come in to work early.

Everyone was busy setting up the venue for the evening’s party.

Following the boss’s orders, this was a crucial event. Everyone had to be on their A-game and take it seriously. Anyone who messed up would be fired on the spot.

On the other hand, if they did a good job, everyone would get a handsome bonus!

And Zhao Dong had been appointed as the head planner for the event.

In reality, however, after meeting with Yu Xuan, he found himself consulting her first on many matters.

After all, she was representing Xu Yun.

Yu Xuan hadn’t been to bars often, so she didn’t really understand the vibe.

Aside from a few details, her main responsibilities were coordination, compiling the guest list, calculating the required amount of drinks, and handling various event logistics.

Before she arrived, Xu Yun had already told her about a few simple games he had initially thought of.

’These were undoubtedly money-burning games!’

’Only someone like Xu Yun could pull this off. Other capitalists would never be willing to spend this much!’

So, without a doubt, the employees who came to the team-building event tonight were going to have a fantastic time.

Meanwhile, after being delayed for a while by Wang Yang, Xu Yun finally arrived at the bar.

Zhao Dong and Yu Xuan briefed him on the arrangements, including the drinks and the layout of the event space.
