Chapter 324 -256: Why Must You Wrong Yourself Like This?
The next day, around noon.
In the disheveled bedroom of the Park Hyatt Suite, Feng Yao slowly stirred and opened her eyes.
She stared at the pure white ceiling, her mind briefly blank before the events of last night began to resurface.
Recalling Gu Heng’s seemingly endless demands and the way her own body had been continually explored, a crimson blush naturally crept onto her fair, beautiful face.
‘That was insane…’
‘Doesn’t he ever get tired?’
From late night until sunrise, from the private hot spring to the Park Hyatt Suite.
They had gone on and off, only taking a break of just over half an hour for a late-night snack when they returned to the Park Hyatt Suite. The rest of the time, they had been practically inseparable.
Hmm…
Is this normal?
Although last night had been Feng Yao’s first time, and she had no prior experience, judging by discussions with her friends and topics online, Gu Heng’s kind of stamina was clearly not normal.
“That brute…”
“He doesn’t know how to be gentle with a woman at all.”
Feng Yao grimaced in pain just from turning over.
She felt the long-since cold space beside her and knew Gu Heng must have left a long time ago.
Confusion, helplessness, fear, anxiety…
In an instant, all sorts of emotions and thoughts flooded her mind.
Forcing herself to ignore the pain, she managed to turn over and sit up.
She slipped on the slippers and walked into the bathroom, her legs so weak it felt like she was walking on clouds.
After a quick shower, she realized she had no clothes. Gu Heng had booked this Park Hyatt Suite on the spur of the moment last night, so even the bikini she had worn to meet him had been left behind at the private hot spring. All she could do was put on a bathrobe.
Returning to the bedroom, she picked up her phone and glanced at it.
There were furious tirades from Gao Junlin sent last night and all sorts of concerned messages from Cai Wen, but not a single word from Gu Heng.
None of the tender care she had imagined, none of the sweet nothings she had expected.
‘Could it be…’
‘Is Gu Heng really the kind of scumbag who screws you and leaves you?’
Feng Yao’s body trembled slightly at the thought.
Feeling utterly crestfallen, she opened the bedroom door and slowly walked into the Park Hyatt Suite’s small living room.
“Miss Feng, are you well-rested?”
Just as Feng Yao stepped out of the bedroom, a voice suddenly sounded from the direction of the sofa.
The crestfallen and distracted Feng Yao was startled by the sudden voice. She quickly turned her head and saw a woman standing by the living room sofa, dressed in black casual wear with a neat, ear-length bob, looking remarkably capable.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Chairman Gu’s personal bodyguard, Xiang Lingshuang.”
Xiang Lingshuang explained, “Chairman Gu has other matters to attend to during the day, so he couldn’t stay with you for long. He instructed me to wait here for you to rest and then show you around the resort for some relaxation.”
“Chairman Gu said you had a tiring night. He will come see you tonight after he’s finished with work. If you need to contact him, you can send him a WhatsApp message. He will reply as soon as he sees it after he’s done with his work.”
In contrast to her cold demeanor toward Gao Junlin last night, Xiang Lingshuang was now warm and friendly, like a kind big sister from next door, her smile devoid of any sharp edges.
Upon learning Xiang Lingshuang’s identity and purpose, Feng Yao’s anxious heart instantly settled down.
‘So he hasn’t forgotten me, and he doesn’t plan on abandoning me.’
‘He’s just busy with work…’
Feng Yao felt as if a jar of honey had been overturned in her heart, and the faint, sorrowful furrow in her brow quietly smoothed out.
“Also, your best friend, Miss Cai Wen, has been moved by Chairman Gu into the room next to yours. It’s also a Park Hyatt Suite.”
Xiang Lingshuang added in a timely manner.
“That’s great!”
Feng Yao’s eyes lit up. “Perfect! I can ask her to bring my clothes over.”
As she spoke, she was about to grab her phone to call Cai Wen.
“Miss Feng, before Chairman Gu left this morning, he already contacted the nearby Chanel, Dior, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton boutiques for you. They are all sending representatives over with the latest season’s womenswear.”
Just as Feng Yao was about to act, Xiang Lingshuang spoke again.
“In a little while, you and your friend can enjoy breakfast in the suite while you choose the clothes you like. Chairman Gu has given you a spending limit of 1,000,000 yuan for today. He said that if you haven’t spent the full 1,000,000 yuan by the time he gets back tonight, he will have to punish you.”
As Xiang Lingshuang’s words fell, Feng Yao’s beautiful eyes slowly widened, and she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.
One million yuan!
And she had to spend it all!
Her parents worked hard all year, and their total post-tax income was barely 1,000,000 yuan. Yet Gu Heng was demanding she spend that same amount in a single day.
At this moment, her still-innocent worldview, much like her own tender body last night, was being hit by a torrential onslaught.
“Spend a million yuan in one day…”
Feng Yao murmured, “How is that even possible?”
Seeing Feng Yao’s expression, Xiang Lingshuang didn’t interrupt, giving her a moment to process everything.
After a few dozen seconds, the confusion in Feng Yao’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by excitement and elation.
She knew…
Her gamble had paid off!
Gu Heng might be a womanizer, but he wasn’t heartless.
As long as she behaved herself and stayed by Gu Heng’s side, she would surely get even more in the future.
Money, privilege, academics, prospects, a career…
A golden path lay right before her.
“Sister Ling Shuang, I’ll be in your care then.”
Feng Yao took a deep breath and spoke politely to Xiang Lingshuang.
“It’s my duty. You’re too kind.”
Xiang Lingshuang gave Feng Yao a slight bow and then walked out of the suite.
…
「Twenty minutes later.」
Dressed in a pristine white bathrobe, Feng Yao sat by the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside was the Park Hyatt Suite’s private courtyard, and in the distance, she could see snow-capped mountains laced with winding ski trails.
Her waterfall of wine-red hair cascaded down her back. Her delicate, Korean-style features, which bore a striking resemblance to a young Seo Joo Hyun, glowed with a healthy, rosy color even without a trace of makeup.
“Miss Cai, Miss Feng is inside…”
The suite door opened, and Xiang Lingshuang’s voice drifted in from outside.
Feng Yao turned to see Cai Wen peeking her head in as she entered.
“Yaoyao!”
“You, you brat!”
“You had me worried sick last night! I barely slept a wink!”
As soon as Cai Wen saw Feng Yao, she rushed over to her.
“Sorry, honey. I was careless last night.”
Feng Yao stood up and gave Cai Wen a hug.
“What on earth is going on?”
“Gao Junlin was acting like a madman last night, and then this morning, someone from the hotel came and upgraded me to a Park Hyatt Suite out of nowhere! They said a Mr. Gu arranged it. Who is this Mr. Gu?”
After hugging Feng Yao, Cai Wen couldn’t wait to start asking questions. She was like a curious child, with a million questions swirling in her mind.
“Well…”
“It’s a bit complicated.”
“First of all, I’ve broken up with Gao Junlin. And this Mr. Gu is Gu Heng. He’s my man now.”
Feng Yao thought for a moment, deciding to clarify the relationships first. When introducing Gu Heng, she hesitated for a long time but ultimately decided not to use the word “boyfriend.”
“Your man?”
“What does that mean?”
Cai Wen was taken aback. Then, looking at Feng Yao’s current state of dress and the unmistakable glow on her face, she quickly put two and two together. “You gave it to him last night?”
“I did.”
They were best friends, so Feng Yao didn’t try to hide anything.
Besides, in her current state, she couldn’t hide it even if she wanted to.
“You really did?”
“So soon?”
Cai Wen’s eyes widened slightly. She knew Feng Yao and Gao Junlin had been dating for almost two months and were still just at the hand-holding and hugging stage. But Feng Yao had just broken up with him last night and had already given herself to another man. The speed of it all truly stunned her.
“Did he force you?”
“Did he make you do it?”
Cai Wen’s expression suddenly changed as she asked with a serious tone.
Faced with Cai Wen’s question, Feng Yao’s mind flashed back to the start of the school term just yesterday, and a blush crept onto her fair cheeks. “Strictly speaking, I was the one who insisted last night…”
“Huh?”
“*You* insisted?”
“For real?”
Cai Wen was incredulous. She found it hard to imagine Feng Yao taking the initiative in something like this. To her, it was simply unbelievable.
“Of course it’s true.”
Feng Yao said, her face flushing slightly, “Let’s sit down and eat first. We can talk while we eat. I’m starving.”
Although she and Gu Heng had a late-night snack last night, the snack itself was perfectly normal—it was just the way they’d *eaten* it that had been rather improper.
Just thinking about that scene made her body flush with heat.
“Alright.”
Cai Wen hadn’t eaten anything all morning either. Looking at the wide variety of exquisite pastries and snacks on the small round table, her appetite was suddenly whetted.
The two of them sat down before the floor-to-ceiling windows. The pleasant winter scenery outside was a feast for the eyes.
Feng Yao first ate a little to tide herself over, then, facing the eagerly waiting Cai Wen, she began to recount the story of how she and Gu Heng met.
“You’re saying he told you straight up that he has a lot of women, and that one of them is even your current college roommate?”
Cai Wen was only halfway through the story and was already completely shocked.
Oh my god!
Is this the modern era?
Are we still in the same country?
Have things really gotten this open-minded now?
“Yes.”
Feng Yao nodded, her expression perfectly calm.
Seeing this, Cai Wen’s expression grew complicated. “Yaoyao, you were the unattainable dream girl for countless guys in our high school. Why are you putting yourself through this…?”
