Chapter 325 -257: Are There More Activities Like This?

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK…

Just as Cai Wen was staring at Feng Yao with a look of utter confusion, there were three knocks on the door before Xiang Lingshuang pushed it open and walked in.

“Miss Feng, the specialists from Chanel have arrived. Should I have them wait outside for a bit?”

Xiang Lingshuang gave Feng Yao a slight bow and asked respectfully.

“Hmm…”

“Let them in.”

Feng Yao put on an air of poise and reserve, but inwardly she was filled with curiosity and anticipation.

“Understood.”

Xiang Lingshuang nodded in acknowledgment, then leaned out the door and gestured for them to come in.

Soon, the sound of numerous footsteps could be heard from outside.

To Cai Wen’s astonishment, several sales associates in Chanel uniforms filed into the suite, each carrying two different Chanel outfits.

“Good afternoon, Miss Feng.”

The Chanel associates stood in a line and bowed to Feng Yao in unison.

Among them were several girls who were just as young and beautiful.

Watching this scene unfold, Feng Yao’s vanity was gratified like never before.

“Miss Feng, I am Zhao Lu, the manager of the Chanel Brand Store in Changbai Mountain International Resort. All the outfits you see here are from our new 2023 Fall/Winter collection. Please take a look, and we will have someone model any outfits you like for you.”

After all the associates had offered their respectful greetings, a slightly older woman stepped forward and introduced herself to Feng Yao.

“Alright.”

“Let’s see that one first, then.”

After all, Feng Yao was the only daughter of a middle-class family from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region. She had accompanied her parents to luxury stores many times growing up. Although they only received standard VIP treatment, she was still far more knowledgeable than the average girl.

She knew that luxury brands like Chanel offered many special services to their VICs. The in-home service and private modeling they were currently receiving, for example, were exclusive privileges for VICs.

The full term for VIC is “Very Important Client,” signifying the highest level of VIP or the most esteemed customer. To become a VIC for these luxury brands, one not only had to meet an annual spending threshold but also specific requirements for the types of products purchased.

Once, while traveling in Yangcheng with her mother, Feng Yao had witnessed a VIC shopping at an LV store. The scene—the client surrounded by an entourage, fawned over by staff, and enveloped in a buzzing, enthusiastic atmosphere—was something she could never forget.

Now, the privileged treatment she had once felt was completely out of reach was happening right before her eyes. It truly felt like a dream.

If even Feng Yao felt this way, one could only imagine how Cai Wen, whose family was not as well-off, must be feeling.

And so, the two of them ate their breakfast while watching the specialists sent by the luxury brands model outfit after outfit.

If she liked something, it was immediately brought over from the store.

If she didn’t, it was taken away and replaced with something new.

One after another, brand after brand.

Feng Yao had never imagined that one day, she would be buying clothes from Chanel or Gucci with the ease of shopping at a fast-fashion brand.

By the time all the brands had finished their presentations, the walk-in closet of the Park Hyatt Suite was nearly full of Feng Yao’s new clothes.

“Miss Feng, Chairman Gu heard that you like handbags.”

After all the sales associates from the luxury brands had left, Xiang Lingshuang walked back over to Feng Yao, now holding a tablet.

Xiang Lingshuang stopped in front of Feng Yao and knelt down naturally. “Miss Feng, Chairman Gu has instructed that you may choose any one of these Hermes bags. This purchase will not count toward today’s spending limit.”

Hermes!

As Xiang Lingshuang’s words fell, both Feng Yao’s and Cai Wen’s eyes went wide.

No woman dislikes handbags, and no woman can refuse a Hermes.

Feng Yao stared, transfixed, at the images Xiang Lingshuang was showing her.

Because among the photos, there were even Hermes Birkin bags.

‘Gu Heng is even willing to give me a Hermes Birkin bag…’

‘He must have been lying to me last night. He must really like me, really love me!’

Feng Yao’s eyes grew misty. Under the barrage of Gu Heng’s sweet gestures, all her defenses were utterly demolished.

Little did she know…

…a Hermes Birkin bag was practically standard issue for all of Gu Heng’s women.

“Miss Feng, please take a look.”

Xiang Lingshuang handed the tablet to Feng Yao and added, “Once you’ve made your choice, I can video call Manager Du at the Hermes counter in the Zhonghai International Finance Center. He can show you the actual product.”

“Okay.”

“Thank you, Sister Ling Shuang.”

Feng Yao replied politely before taking the tablet and examining it closely.

Hermes!

The Hermes she had always dreamed of!

A Hermes that even her own mother had never owned!

The mere thought of it made Feng Yao’s hands tremble with excitement. Across from her, Cai Wen’s mind had been buzzing ever since the luxury brand associates walked in. Now, seeing Feng Yao browsing for a Hermes, she was completely dumbstruck.

Cai Wen didn’t snap out of it until Feng Yao had finished picking her desired Hermes Birkin bag.

HISS—

The moment Xiang Lingshuang left, Feng Yao, who had been feigning composure, leaped up from her chair. She forgot about her “injuries,” and the sudden pain made her face twist into a grimace.

But a little bit of pain couldn’t hide the excitement on her face.

“Wenwen!”

“This shopping experience is just incredible!”

Feng Yao said excitedly, “I bet even the wealthy madams of Zhonghai don’t get much more than this!”

“Yaoyao, I have a question…”

Cai Wen still hadn’t fully recovered from her stupor. “What did that woman mean by ‘today’s spending limit’?”

“Oh…”

“Gu Heng gave me a spending limit of one million for today before he left this morning.”

Feng Yao’s tone was tinged with sweetness. “He said that if I don’t spend the entire one million before he gets back today, he’ll punish me.”

When she said the word “punish,” her voice held a hint of bashfulness.

Obviously, the punishment Gu Heng was talking about wasn’t the conventional kind. The scene would undoubtedly be X-rated.

Cai Wen: “???”

Are you for real?

“Wenwen!”

“Let’s go to the spa later!”

Feng Yao’s excitement hadn’t faded yet. “People online say the Park Hyatt Hotel at the Changbai Mountain International Resort has a really high-end, professional spa service. I’ve been wanting to try it forever. It’s my treat!”

“Yaoyao, wait a second.”

Cai Wen felt an itch of curiosity. She asked Feng Yao tentatively, “Can I ask how old this Chairman Gu is?”

“Chairman Gu is the same age as us.”

“He’s 185 centimeters tall, has an eight-pack, and his body is amazing.”

At this, a faint blush appeared on Feng Yao’s cheeks as she said in a low voice, “And I think he’s… ridiculously good in bed. He can turn me into a puddle of mush so easily.”

The private conversations between best friends can sometimes be even more explicit than those between bros; they can truly talk about anything and everything.

No wonder so many girls online say that if some accident ever happened, they’d use their last breath to clear their chat history with their best friend before they die.

“For real?”

Cai Wen’s eyes were wide. She had originally assumed that a man with such wealth and power would have to be at least in his forties; she hadn’t even considered that he could be under thirty.

“Of course, it’s true.”

“Why would I lie to you about something like this?”

Feng Yao nodded affirmatively. “His Moments feed is just him sharing things about his life, no photos of himself. But he’s staying here for a few more days, so you’ll have a chance to see him.”

“Oh my god!”

“Yaoyao, what kind of heaven-defying luck do you have?!”

“It’s one thing for him to be disgustingly rich, but he’s also a young, handsome, tall, and virile hunk. This is literally a god-sent crush!”

After hearing what Feng Yao said, Cai Wen found it truly difficult not to be envious.

“I take back what I just said!”

“You haven’t wronged yourself in the slightest!”

“Sis, we’re best friends, right? Are there any more of these… opportunities? I know I’m not as pretty or have as good a body as you, but if Chairman Gu is interested, I can be really slutty. Please, give me a chance!”

Cai Wen said half-jokingly, half-seriously, while grabbing Feng Yao’s hand.

“Begging me is useless.”

Feng Yao shrugged. “If Chairman Gu is interested in you, I can’t stop him. No woman he sets his sights on can escape his grasp.”

“Conversely, if he’s not interested in you, I could deliver you to his bedside and he still wouldn’t do anything to you.”

Feng Yao had known Cai Wen for almost ten years. She knew exactly how much of what her friend had just said was genuine and how much was a joke.

‘Gu Heng hasn’t even shown his face, and already another girl can’t help but fall for him.’ She felt a faint sense of helplessness. Even now, she didn’t know if meeting a man like this at such a young age was a blessing or a curse.

But whether it was a blessing or a curse…

…since she had already made her decision, she wouldn’t regret it.

“Let’s go~”

“I’ll take you to the spa~”

“After the spa, we can go shopping or have a big feast~”

Seeing the slightly dejected Cai Wen, Feng Yao smiled and comforted her gently.

“Okay, okay…”

Cai Wen’s spirits lifted, and she then shot Feng Yao a mischievous grin.

“What’s with that smile?”

“Why do I feel like you’re up to no good?”

A look of wariness crossed Feng Yao’s face, and she subconsciously tightened the collar of her bathrobe.

“Heh heh heh…”

“Little Yaoyao, hurry up and let your bestie have a look~”

“Just what’s so different about the body of a beautiful young wife~”

Cai Wen let out a classic villainous laugh as she pounced toward Feng Yao.

“You’re acting like some kind of pervert!”

Feng Yao scoffed lightly, her cheeks flushing. She gave Cai Wen no opportunity to succeed, because she and Gu Heng had been a little too wild. On top of that, the private hot spring last night had been surrounded by rock walls, leaving her body covered in a mix of blue and red marks.

There were randomly scattered hickeys and inexplicable bruises.

“Oh, come on~”

“Let me see~”

Cai Wen chased after Feng Yao, flailing her arms and legs.

“No way, no way~”

And just like that, the two girls played a game of cat and mouse in the living room, their silvery laughter echoing through the suite for a long time before it finally faded…
